Mauricio Pochettino states the aspect he admired in Cole Palmer’s performance
Mauricio Pochettino spoke to Sky Sprots last night after his team’s win over Middlesbrough, and it was interesting to note what he said about Cole Palmer.
Palmer scored twice, and we all know what he can do in attack. But in this case Pochettino was more concerned with the efforts his midfielder had made defensively.
He noted that he loved what Palmer was doing without the ball. Not just the work rate to press, but also the “intuition” as he called it, to know when and how to do so.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥

That was especially important in a more central role tonight, and Palmer excelled.
We still expect Conor Gallagher to be back next game, but it’s good to know that Palmer can be trusted in this setup in the future when we’re playing teams likely to sit really deep and allow us the ball the majority of the time.
