Brooks believes that Palmer, who signed from Manchester City in the summer, may find opponents clipping his wings" if he is not careful.
He in his weekly column: "The way Palmer dispatched his penalty showed he has supreme confidence in his own ability.
But his dinked finish was bordering on 'taking the Michael' and players have a way of dealing with that. If he's not careful he may have his wings clipped."
Manager Mauricio Pochettino chose to praise Gallagher instead, stating over the weekend: "If he decides to give the ball to another player (to take the penalty), I cannot go onto the pitch to say no or I'll get a red card.
"He is a specialist, shooting really well, but it is a decision on the pitch depending on the circumstances. It is about who is on the pitch.
I could say 1, 2, 3, like in Paris (Saint-Germain) with Neymar, (Lionel) Messi and Sergio Ramos. But after between them they can say, no you, me, or them."
