Maresca acknowledges that it's not fair to rely too heavily on one player. He believes that the team should support Palmer if he struggles, rather than placing all the pressure on him.

Maresca points out that a successful top-four finish is unlikely if it depends solely on one player. He emphasizes the importance of having a strong team behind Palmer, to ensure the team's success.

The manager believes that building a well-rounded team is essential. This means having players who can step in if another player is not performing well. Maresca wants to ensure that the team is strong and can withstand any challenges that may arise during the season.
