Neville Criticizes Cole Palmer as Chelsea Fans Fire Back
Gary Neville has taken aim at Chelsea’s Cole Palmer following the team’s heavy defeat to Manchester City, accusing the young midfielder of losing his spark. “It seems all good things come to an end. Your absence on the pitch was glaring, and this performance proves you’re just a one-time wonder,” Neville stated, criticizing Palmer’s impact in the game against his former club.
The comments did not sit well with Chelsea fans, who were quick to defend their player while questioning Neville’s priorities. Many fans pointed out Manchester United’s ongoing struggles, accusing the former United defender of deflecting from his club’s issues by focusing on Chelsea.
“We don’t need you commenting on our players when your own club has bigger problems to fix,” a Chelsea fan shot back on social media.
Supporters stood by Palmer, attributing the lackluster performance to an off day rather than a reflection of his abilities. “It just wasn’t his day, that’s all,” another fan noted, urging patience for the 21-year-old.
The match ended in a painful setback for Chelsea, but fans remain hopeful that Palmer will prove his critics wrong in future games. For now, the club faces challenges of its own in turning the season around.
