Cole Palmer criticized his Chelsea teammates following their failure to secure a win against 10-man Burnley, intensifying the pressure on manager Mauricio Pochettino. Despite Palmer two goals, Chelsea allowed Burnley to equalize twice and settle for a 2-2 draw. Burnley Lorenz Assignon received a controversial second yellow card leading to a penalty converted by Palmer.

However, a late header from Burnley’s Dara O’Shea denied Chelsea the win. Palmer expressed frustration at the team’s inability to capitalize on their numerical advantage and maintain concentration. Pochettino shared Palmer sentiments, emphasizing the need for improved energy, communication and competitiveness. Despite Chelsea unbeaten streak in the Premier League, their recent Carabao Cup final loss has heightened dissatisfaction among fans.

Pochettino highlighted the team’s need for improvement and called for collective accountability. Chelsea will seek redemption in their upcoming match against Manchester United.
