This is what stands out to me the most as well. Besides looking just plain tired, there is 0 risk taking or urgency. It feels like the only players who have any license to take risk are Noni and Cucu. Everyone else hits the breaks and passes backwards. There's no confidence to try something different and no pace in transition to get to goal before teams recover. To be fair to Palmer, I read somewhere that he actually had created something crazy like 20 big chances over the last month, but they haven't been put away. But he's looked a ghost of his December form.
