Cole Palmer faced criticism from Gary Neville for conversing with Pep Guardiola post-match after Chelsea's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City. Despite an early lead, Chelsea struggled, failing to capitalize on opportunities and ending up significantly outplayed. Palmer, who had been Chelsea's star, was notably quiet during the match, which raised eyebrows when he was seen smiling and chatting with Guardiola, who had previously let him go. Neville emphasized that Chelsea supporters expected more from him, especially after a lackluster performance and the team's recent losing streak.
I want to say something about Cole Palmer, he was talking to Pep Guardiola on the pitch right at the end of the game and he was smiling with him, Guardiola does that.
Cole, you're being played here, you didn't do enough out on that pitch in the second half.
He's an amazing player, absolutely brilliant, but those Chelsea fans that travelled today... wanted better than that.
They don't really want to see you conversing with your opposition manager and smiling at the end of the game.
