According to Rory Jennings, Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer may be the reason Ange Postecoglou falls at Tottenham Hotspur.
Jennings boasted that Palmer’s performance for the unbeaten Blues in North London on Sunday, December 8, may cost the Spurs manager his job during a live appearance on talkSPORT [7 December, 8:49 p.m.].
Fans were furious with the Australian following Tottenham’s 1-0 loss to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium [5 December], bringing the team’s obvious inconsistency to light in the middle of the week.
“I can’t wait to watch Cole Palmer sabotage Tottenham,” Jennings said with a smile on the radio.
“Don’t you think Palmer will get Ange Postecoglou fired? He must be remembered as Pep Guardiola’s worst error ever; just think of the connection between Palmer and Erling Haaland.
Tottenham needs to defeat the flaming Chelsea.
The main concern surrounding Tottenham’s decision ahead of Sunday’s London derby in N17 is which Spurs will show up.
Chelsea and Enzo Maresca are in jeopardy if Postecoglou’s team plays the laudably dominant style of play that saw them thrash Manchester City at the Etihad recently.
However, Palmer et al. will be salivating if they display any symptoms of vulnerability, such as against Bournemouth and at home against Fulham or Ipswich Town.
One of the Premier League’s most peculiar games seems to have occurred more than a season ago; you know, the one when Spurs lost 4-1 to Chelsea even though they likely should have defeated them with nine men.
Palmer and an unpolished Nicolas Jackson gained notoriety from this particular encounter. Both players have been enjoying their football much too much lately for any Spurs supporter to unwind on Sunday afternoon.
