Faniel Sequare took a shot at Pochettino, who said they're not Cole Palmer FC, writing that this game showed they are nothing without him.

Another fan echoed his sentiment, writing "Chelsea is a Cole Palmer club. Without him they are nothing."

Janty noted that Chelsea would have been in the relegation battle if they didn't have Cole Palmer.

Blaine Grisak took aim at Pochettino with his post on X, writing that a 5-0 loss to Arsenal is unacceptable and it "really shows that CFC stands for Cole Football club." He added that "without Palmer, Chelsea are a relegation squad."

Chelsea sorely miss Palmer in Arsenal loss

Palmer has been exceptional for the Blues this season, scoring 25 goals in all competitions. Twenty of those came in the Premier League, putting Palmer in a tie for first place with Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race.

He sat out the game against Arsenal after missing Monday's training due to illness. His absence had a profound effect on the Blues, who looked lost without their star player in the lineup.

Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for the Gunners in the fourth minute before Ben White and Kai Havertz sealed the victory with braces in the second half.

He scored in the 57th and 65th minutes.
