Enzo Maresca has called for the rest of his Chelsea<\/a> team to step up and ease the pressure on the \u2018struggling\u2019 Cole Palmer<\/a> who is \u2018upset the club are not winning games\u2019.<\/p>\n

Palmer has not found the back of the net since the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth<\/a> in January and has gone 13 games without providing an assist.<\/p>\n

His dip in form has coincided with Chelsea losing their way in their pursuit of a top four finish with the Blues dropping from fourth to seventh, losing their third game on the bounce against Aston Villa on Saturday night.<\/a><\/p>\n

With his number dropping off, Palmer\u2019s performances have lacked their usual sparkle, cutting a somewhat dejected figure at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

During one breakdown in play after trying to slide a ball through for Christopher Nkunku, the England international was seen throwing his arms in frustration, a worrying sign amid the club\u2019s poor run of results.  <\/p>\n

But speaking ahead of Tuesday\u2019s Premier League clash against Southampton<\/a>, Maresca insisted he is not concerned by Palmer\u2019s recent issues.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m always concerned about general performances, but I\u2019m not concerned about Cole because he is a human being,\u2019 Maresca said.<\/p>\n

\u2018During the season he can have some moments where he is struggling a little bit more.<\/p>\n

\u2018The problem with Cole is probably that we rely on him for everything. I said since we started that we need to rely on the team. For sure we need big players, top players like Cole but we are not worried about him at all.\u2019<\/p>\n

Defending his player, Maresca added: \u2018He just needs to continue working in the way he is working.<\/p>\n

\u2018The other day he had a great chance but overall the performance from Cole, every game we expect from him a goal or assist, so it\u2019s difficult. He\u2019s a human being.<\/p>\n

\u2018In this moment his performances reflect a bit the team\u2019s performances, that we struggle to score goals. We need to be a little bit more clinical when we get the chances.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cole is just upset because we are not winning games, no more than that.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
