Angry Fans React to Cole Palmer Missing PFA Team of the Year

Cole Palmer's exclusion from the PFA Premier League Team of the Year has ignited a wave of disbelief among football fans. The 22-year-old forward had a remarkable debut season with Chelsea, following his £42.5 million transfer from Manchester City, where he scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists despite the team's inconsistent performance. Fans took to social media to express their frustration, with one user questioning the inclusion of Arsenal's Martin Ødegaard over Palmer, labeling the decision as "ridiculous." While many fans voiced their discontent, some supported the PFA's choices, highlighting Palmer's impressive contributions throughout the season. Critics pointed out that Palmer outperformed several players who made the final cut, emphasizing his significant impact on Chelsea's campaign. Notably, his England teammate Phil Foden was included in the Team of the Year, alongside other prominent players like Rodri and Kyle Walker, who have also made their mark in the league. Arsenal, despite finishing as Premier League runners-up, secured five spots in the Team of the Year, surpassing champions Manchester City's representation. Notably, goalkeeper David Raya replaced Aaron Ramsdale, who held the position in the previous year's selection. Palmer's breakout season not only showcased his talent but also earned him a place in England's Euro 2024 squad, where he demonstrated his skills with a stunning long-range goal in the final against Spain.
