Chelsea midfielder, Cole Palmer has come out to admit that the club did not expect to be challenging at the top of the Premier League. He recently had his say after their last-gasp loss to Fulham, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, losing the Fulham match at the very end was a tough pill to swallow, but he and his teammates already knew they were not going to win every game they play.

Palmer added that the Blues are still not title challengers, and every defeat will be an opportunity to learn.
His words, “To lose at the end is difficult. In the first half we played well, controlled the game and had quite a few chances. Second half we lost a bit of control. They are a good transition team and direct. We got caught up in their game and paid the price. We turned it into a game they are better than us at. It is fine, we have another game in a few days. Keep going. We knew we were not going to win every game we play. Everyone said from the start we are not title contenders. The manager said it was an opportunity to learn, we will look back on it and rest and recover. It is football and it happens. We lost control for 20 minutes and the scored two, so well done Fulham.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
