He later said: "We've had some difficult results, obviously the cup final against Liverpool so to get the points is vital. We showed passion, courage winning the second ball and not getting bullied. As a young team we're going to make mistakes.
"There's so much talent around Chelsea that the fans don't see and you (the media) don't see. If not next season, the season after, you will see it sooner or later. We're still in the FA Cup and hopefully win on Sunday to get to Wembley again."
Palmer stated on leaving Manchester City last summer, "I thought I was ready to play football week in, week out and that's the reason. I just wanted to showcase my ability and thankfully it has paid off. It was a very difficult decision to leave City, I was there since six years old. I was ready to play football, had a chat with my family, had a chat with the club and moved to Chelsea."
On getting into Gareth Southgate's England squad for the Euros, he added: "If you had told me at the start of the season I had a chance to go to the Euros I wouldn't have believed it. I will just take it each game as it comes and see what happens in the summer."
