“He’s becoming a useless player” “Selfish man” – Chelsea fans slams Chelsea star after 1-0 win over Copenhagen
Chelsea fans have expressed their displeasure with star forward Cole Palmer following his underwhelming performance in their 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen on Thursday, March 13. The Blues booked their place in the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League after a 3-1 aggregate win over the Danish outfit.
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca opted to leave Palmer on the bench for the start of the game against Copenhagen, with the forward having started in the first leg. The 22-year-old has struggled for form in recent weeks, most recently missing a penalty, his first ever, in the Blues’ 1-0 win over Leicester City at the weekend.
Cole Palmer came off the bench at halftime and failed to score or assist, extending his goal drought to 10 games. The former Manchester City man has also failed to register an assist for the Blues in his last 18 outings.
Chelsea fans were far from impressed with Palmer’s display, particularly some of his decision-making during the game. They took to X to share their complaints, with one writing:
“Palmer is becoming annoying.”
“Palmer is so selfish,” another complained.
“It’s so painful to see Palmer like this. It’s purely confidence not quality everyone knows that. It’s just a matter of time really but every minute you see him not feeling himself if so painful. He will come good. I just hope it’s soon,” a fan lamented.
“It’s not working for Palmer. Lol,” another wrote.
“Palmer need to stop playing those rubbish we have back him too much,” a fan posted.
“Something is wrong with palmer,” another wrote.
Cole Palmer created one big chance in his 45 minutes of action, completing 92% of his attempted passes. The Englishman attempted four shots, of which only one was on target, and had two touches in the opposition penalty area.
