After Cole Palmer performance Chelsea fans are saying the same thing about him
Blues’ Disappointment at Bramall Lane
In a disappointing turn of events, Chelsea conceded late in the game, resulting in a 2-2 draw away to Sheffield United.
Missed Opportunity After Midweek Victory
Heading into Sunday’s match at Bramall Lane, Chelsea was riding high on a dramatic win over Manchester United. However, they failed once again to secure consecutive victories in the Premier League.
Early Lead and Subsequent Equalizer
Thiago Silva managed to put Chelsea ahead in the 11th minute, but Sheffield United leveled the score at 1-1 through Jayden Bogle before halftime.
Momentary Lead Regained
Noni Madueke restored Chelsea’s lead midway through the second half. However, Sheffield United’s Oli McBurnie dashed hopes with an injury-time equalizer.
Inconsistent Performance Reflects Season
Although Mauricio Pochettino’s side secured a win against Manchester United recently, they have struggled against lower-ranked teams like Sheffield United and Burnley, resulting in drawn matches. This inconsistency has been a recurring theme throughout Chelsea’s season.
Concerns Over Defensive Record
Chelsea’s defensive vulnerabilities were once again highlighted, conceding at least two goals in seven consecutive games. Such a trend is unsustainable for consistent success.
Chelsea Fans Discuss Cole Palmer’s Role
Shift in Palmer’s Position
Following his performance against Sheffield United, Chelsea fans took to social media to discuss Cole Palmer’s role in the team.

Palmer, typically thriving as a right-winger, was deployed centrally as a No. 10 in the recent match. This tactical change didn’t sit well with the fanbase, who prefer to see him on the wing.
Contribution Despite Positional Shift
Despite the positional adjustment, Palmer contributed to Madueke’s goal before being substituted in the 74th minute. While not his most dazzling performance, he maintained his typical goal-scoring prowess.
Calls for Managerial Consideration
Some Chelsea fans are advocating for Palmer to be utilized in a central role, emphasizing his importance to the team’s dynamic.
