In a recent Premier League match, Chelsea's Cole Palmer missed a penalty in a 1-0 win against Leicester City, marking his first failure after previously being flawless from the spot. Despite being sick before the game, Palmer insisted on playing but has struggled with form, evident as he has gone eight games without a goal. Once a prolific scorer, his missed penalty and other squandered chances indicate declining confidence, as experts like Mark Schwarzer noted that his shot lacked placement and conviction.
"Cole Palmer's penalty wasn't one from someone with a lot of confidence. He went for power over real placement and the goalkeeper does so, so well."
"Palmer has varied his finishes from the penalty spot, but stats show that shooting with his left foot across to his right is his favoured option."
