Chelsea’s win over Manchester United on Thursday was one of the most memorable games we’ve seen for years at Stamford Bridge.
The days after it should be pure joy, but there was at least one incident which left a bad taste in the mouth.
Our penalty situation should be simple – we have Cole Palmer in the team, and he never seems to miss. But instead of just making that clear, Mauricio Pochettino has allowed the players on the pitch to decide. That’s led to a number of incidents of bickering, and as it turns out there was a dispute about who should take the second penalty against United this week.
This simply cannot continue. We got lucky this time, but it’s an embarrassment every time we get a spot kick. Any player trying to take the ball off Palmer should be ashamed, and Pochettino needs to see the light as soon as possible and lay down some authority.
