Tim Sherwood conducted an awkward interview with Cole Palmer that left the Chelsea star looking stunned after comments about his team-mates following their 3-2 win over Newcastle.<br/><br/>The Blues secured their first league win since the middle of February with a narrow victory over the Magpies thanks to goals from Nicolas Jackson, Palmer himself, and Mykhailo Mudryk. <br/><br/>Newcastle's Alexander Isak had canceled out Jackson's opener before Jacob Murphy pulled one back later on - but Mauricio Pochettino's side held out.<br/><br/>Goalscorer Palmer was interviewed pitchside after the game by former Tottenham boss Sherwood, but the line of questioning he went for baffled fans and appeared to leave Palmer squirming. <br/><br/>After continuing his superb form this season with a goal and assist against Eddie Howe's men, Sherwood raised eyebrows with comments about Palmer's team-mates.<br/><br/>'All you need are some players to play with,' Sherwood said, followed by an awkward silence as Palmer looked back at him with a blank expression.<br/><br/>Sherwood, who has become a regular face on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday after coaching spells with Spurs and Aston Villa, then chimed in: 'I know you can't say that, but I'm saying it. I just think you need more quality around you. <br/><br/>'For me, [Pochettino] needs to build the team around you - with the quality you have, but that will come with a few transfer windows hopefully once he gets the right players in.'<br/><br/>Palmer eventually replied to Sherwood to insist 'there is a lot of quality there' despite his comments, adding: 'Not just me, we've got lots of other players. Hopefully, the team can gel a bit more than everyone has seen.' <br/><br/>Fans were far from pleased with Sherwood's comments, with one saying it was a 'disgusting thing to say'. <br/><br/>'That's a disgusting thing to say live on TV to a young player and after a win, I think Palmer handled that very well,' the user said.<br/><br/>'Put the poor boy on the spot. He handled it so well. Weldone Palmer,' read another tweet.<br/><br/>One read: 'This is ridiculous from Sherwood. <br/><br/>Another added to the chorus of those praising the player for his reaction, writing: 'Really well handled by Palmer.' <br/><br/>Palmer now has 13 goals and 10 assists for Chelsea this season to give himself a huge chance of making Gareth Southgate's England squad for Euro 2024 this summer.<br/><br/>Speaking further after the game, Palmer - who dazzled in front of the Three Lions boss at Stamford Bridge - said he wouldn't have believed he had a shot of making the squad last summer before joining from Man City for £42.5million.<br/><br/>‘If you had told me at the start of the season I had a chance to go to the Euros I wouldn't have believed it,’ Palmer said. ‘I will take each game as it comes and see what happens in the summer.<br/><br/>‘We showed passion, and courage winning the second ball and not getting bullied. As a young team, we're going to make mistakes.’<br/><br/>Pochettino added of Palmer: ‘He arrived the last day of the transfer window and it was so easy for him to adapt to the team
