Joe Hart has firm warning for both Thomas Tuchel and Cole Palmer, ‘There’s no point’

He did not look like he wanted to win with the subs he made,he litrally killed our team in that semi final,thats why in my opinion hes a saboteur
100% I think he should have gone! But I also believe Tuchel really wanted to win
@jamesshearman23 they would have done better with Cole Palmer at the world cup
Speaking on Overlap Daily, Hart said: “I think Cole Palmer’s an awesome player, and when he’s hot, he’s a game-changer. It sounded a little bit bitty. I don’t understand what Tuchel was trying to say when Cole went away from the last squad. So, I think he’s going to have to give some real clarity. He’s going to have some interesting questions on that.
“But I’d like to think him and Cole have had a conversation, because they need clearing up. He’s one of our best players, one of our most talented players, and there’s no point in them having a bit of a strange relationship. It needs to be clear, early on.
“As England fans now, I think we really need to understand why Cole Palmer [isn’t] in the squad. But on the flip side, I think it’s a great opportunity for Josh King, and in a difficult season so far for Fulham, he’s really shone.”

Tuchel is a Chelsea legend after guiding the Blues to Champions League glory back in 2021. However, it is fair to say that Chelsea supporters are not happy with him.
After it emerged that Palmer had been left out of the latest England squad, Chelsea fans online were very quick to criticise Tuchel, going as far as to demand his sacking.
England supporters are yet to see the best of Palmer. He has scored just two goals after earning 14 caps for his country. However, one of those goals was against Spain in the Euro 2024 final, showing that the Chelsea man can make an impact for the Three Lions and on the biggest stage.
It is disappointing to see him being left out, especially when Eberechi Eze has been called up, for example. Eze has not really met expectations since his big-money move from Crystal Palace last summer and failed to score a single goal in the Premier League this season.
