Chelsea fans all call out one player for costing them the win against Everton with his annoying mistakes
Chelsea Miss Chance to Top the League as Fans Blame Cole Palmer for Lackluster Performance Against Everton
Chelsea missed a golden opportunity to climb to the top of the Premier League table on Sunday after a frustrating 0-0 draw against Everton at Goodison Park. Despite dominating possession and creating multiple chances, the Blues were unable to find the breakthrough.
The disappointing result left fans pointing fingers, with one name unexpectedly coming under fire—Cole Palmer.
Chelsea controlled the game with 75% possession and managed five shots on target, yet they failed to convert any of their chances. The stalemate means Chelsea remain behind Liverpool, who now have the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table with a game in hand.
While the entire team struggled to make their dominance count, much of the blame has been directed at 22-year-old star Cole Palmer. Fans took to social media to express their frustration over his performance, accusing him of being below par.
One fan wrote, “Palmer was off it. Not sure why he wasn’t subbed for Felix. The energy just wasn’t there.”
Another added, “Could’ve sworn the best player in the league was playing today? Maybe he’s just not as incredible as everyone thinks. Stop putting Palmer on a pedestal.”
Some fans were even harsher, with one claiming, “Cole Palmer has been rubbish all season. Masked by penalties and the odd assist.”
The criticism comes despite Palmer having solid stats this season. The English winger has scored 11 goals and provided six assists in just 19 appearances across all competitions. However, some fans argue that his contributions haven’t been as impactful as they were last season when he scored 27 goals and assisted 15 times.
One frustrated fan summarized this sentiment, saying, “Palmer isn’t the same as last season. I don’t care if he’s still getting goals and assists; he’s no longer performing at that insane level.”
The draw has put Chelsea in a difficult position as Liverpool could go four points clear at the top of the table if they win their next game against Tottenham. With the busy Christmas schedule ahead, Chelsea will need their key players, including Palmer, to step up and deliver consistent performances.
