Palmer was quiet today, didn't seem to get involved as much as usual, he also seemed to be pushing out wide with Noni, wonder if that was under instruction to put pressure on Royal. Cucu was motm for me as well, defensively he stopped everything, slowly becoming a top LB.
Palmer drifted wide at times to pin Emerson Royal and allow Noni to receive and attack the channel 👍 But yeah Cucurella MOTM and class team performance 🤝
The Blues absolutely dominated the midfield in the second half v Villa and a full 90 mins today. Props to Poch for the Cucu inversion tactic. Big on the CBs to step up for the clean sheet today too. I’m hopeful this shape can help us from being countered by WHU
