The fans don’t see it, you guys don’t see it, but I think the way the manager works on the pitch, the things he does with us, it’s only going to get better.”-Cole Palmer responds to Chelsea transfer criticism after Newcastle United win
Cole Palmer says that Chelsea’s team is full of good players after they beat Newcastle United 3-2 on Monday night.
Palmer was named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance at Stamford Bridge, where he set up a goal and scored a beautiful one from the edge of the box.
People have said a lot of bad things about Chelsea’s team, even though Todd Boehly spent over £1 billion on new players while he was manager at Stamford Bridge.
Fans have asked the club to spend even more on players this summer to make things better, but Palmer is sure that the present team will show those people they’re wrong.
“We’ve had some bad luck, like in the [Carabao Cup] final against Liverpool and in many other games, so getting points is very important for us,” Palmer talked to Sky Sports after the win over Newcastle.
“I think we showed some passion, courage, winning the second balls, not getting picked on, and just having the guts to play. I think that’s what we need as a young team—we’re going to make mistakes, everyone does—but it’s time to move on to the next one.”

People have said bad things about Chelsea this season, but Palmer said, “I think there’s so much talent at Chelsea.”
“The fans and you guys don’t see it, but I think things will only get better because of how the manager works with us on the pitch.”
“If not this season, then the next. It’s a project, everyone’s young, and everyone wants to do well, so I think you’ll see it sooner or later.”
Palmer was asked again in a different interview with Stadium Astro if he thinks Chelsea needs to sign more players to get better.
But the former Manchester City forward is sure that Chelsea can get better with the team they have now.
“There’s a lot of good stuff there, not just me,” Palmer said.
“We have a lot of other players, so I hope the team can work together a little better than everyone has seen.”
