During the match between Chelsea and Newcastle United on Sunday, Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle, acknowledged that his team had a tough time dealing with the young duo of Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson. Chelsea had a strong start to the game and thought they had scored the first goal through Palmer, but it was disallowed after a VAR review showed he was offside.
However, Palmer made up for it by making a brilliant pass to set up Pedro Neto for a cross, which was then converted by Jackson to give Chelsea the lead. Newcastle managed to equalize before halftime, but Palmer's excellent finish early in the second half secured the victory for Chelsea.
When asked about how Newcastle coped with Chelsea's attacking players, Howe admitted that it was indeed a challenge. He praised Palmer for his ability to escape tight situations and acknowledged that Jackson also caused problems for his team. However, Howe felt that as the game went on, Newcastle started to get a better hold of the situation. They even managed to score a great goal in the first half, which gave them momentum.
But unfortunately, their technical shortcomings in the beginning of the second half cost them the game. Howe also mentioned that Enzo Maresca, the assistant coach of Chelsea, had expressed his reluctance to rely solely on quick counter-attacks. Maresca believed that constantly attacking quickly could leave Chelsea vulnerable to conceding quick counter-attacks themselves.
He explained that with players like Pedro, Noni, Cole, Malo, and Nico in the team, they have the ability to create and score goals by making passes and arriving in the final third. Maresca emphasized that this is the style of football they want to play, rather than relying on counter-attacks.
