“He has been rubbish all season” “The energy was just not there” – Chelsea fans calls out Chelsea star after costing them 3points against Everton
Following Sunday’s disappointing draw with Everton, Chelsea supporters have turned against one unexpected player.
If Chelsea defeated Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, they would have taken the lead in the Premier League.
But even though the London team had five shots on goal and 75% of the possession, they were unable to score, and the score ended up being 0-0.
Following the game, Chelsea supporters have all criticized a surprise player, accusing him of being the reason they lost by three points.
Chelsea fans have picked out star player Cole Palmer as the biggest problem in the match, and took to social media to make their feelings about his performance known.
Reacting to his performance in the match, one fan wrote: “Palmer off it , not sure why he wasn’t subbed for Felix. Also the energy was just not there.”
Another agreed, adding: “Could’ve sworn the best player in the league was playing against Everton today? Or maybe he’s just not as incredible as you think he is?
“Stop putting Palmer on a pedestal he has no business being on right now.”
While one fan made a bold claim, writing: “Cole Palmer has been rubbish all season. Masked by penalties and the odd assist.”
And one said: “Palmer ain’t the same as he was last season idc if he’s still getting G/A, he’s no longer performing to that insane level he did last season.”
During the 22-year-old’s first season at Stamford Bridge, Palmer scored 27 goals and assisted 15 in 48 appearances for his new club.
Meanwhile this season, the Englishman has 11 goals and six assists in his 19 appearances in all competitions so far this season.
