And Maresca admits concerns that he asks too much Palm.
He said: “Since I joined the club, I said it was not fair, it is not correct to give all the pressure to Cole. When Cole has trouble for a month, two months, it is important that the team supports it.
“You are not going to finish the top four if it’s all around a player. So I think the team is careful.
“You need the whole team behind. Otherwise, if it is only a player, in case he is injured, in case he struggles, what are you doing?
“You have to build a team. If for a moment, a player is not good enough, you need another. You need the team, you need the whole team.”
