“Utilizing this player in an inappropriate position contributed to his underwhelming performance against Aston Villa. Placing him in his correct position will unleash his full potential on the pitch,” Todd Boehly cautioned Pep Guardiola, emphasizing the need to position the £100k-a-week City player correctly for optimal results.

Chelsea supporters are urging manager Mauricio Pochettino to refrain from deploying Cole Palmer as a false nine after another disappointing performance in that position against Aston Villa.

Fans express concern that Palmer, considered a talented player, is not effective as a striker and suggest he should be utilized in his preferred role as a number ten.

The sentiment is that a proper striker is needed, and supporters advocate for alternative formations that better utilize Palmer’s skills, such as a 4-4-2 with Madueke and Sterling in the attacking positions.
