“The answer is no” – Chelsea’s official TikTok sends brutal message to Crystal Palace after Conor Gallagher’s performance on Monday
In a resounding return to the winner’s circle, Chelsea orchestrated a thrilling 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace on Monday night, scripting a tale of redemption after a lackluster first half that saw them trailing by a goal. Mauricio Pochettino, the strategic puppeteer, invoked change by introducing Christopher Nkunku from the bench during halftime, a move that swiftly bore fruit in the second half.
The orchestration of a comeback unfolded in a matter of minutes, with Conor Gallagher emerging as the virtuoso, notching two goals, complemented by a decisive strike from Enzo Fernandez, painting the night with a palette of vivid and eventful hues.
This triumph, amplifying Chelsea’s dominance, marked their 13th consecutive victory in the Premier League against Crystal Palace, an impressive testament to their sustained prowess over their adversaries.

Yet, as the exhilaration of the win settled, Chelsea’s social media team injected a dose of wit into the narrative. A TikTok video surfaced, featuring a cheeky home supporter humorously inquiring of Manager Pochettino if they could reclaim Gallagher, reminiscing about his stellar run from a few seasons past. The response, delivered with a touch of brutal humor, echoed a resounding “no.” The video cleverly juxtaposed Gallagher’s recent brace and the resonant chorus of his name sung by the fervent traveling supporters.
Despite Gallagher’s stellar performances and the crescendo of his standards in recent weeks, whispers persist about his potential surplus status at the end of the season. Tottenham, ever vigilant, have been rumored to be monitoring a potential deal, especially if contractual negotiations remain unresolved.
In the corridors of speculation, discussions swirl about fund-raising strategies, with hopes pinned on offloading peripheral players such as Ian Maatsen, Armando Broja, and Trevoh Chalobah. The aspiration is to accumulate sufficient resources to facilitate substantial summer spending without the unfortunate necessity of parting ways with one of Pochettino’s pivotal players, who have become linchpins since his tenure at the helm of the club. As the chess pieces of football’s business maneuvers shift, the intricate dance of negotiations and the uncertainty of player destinies unfold, leaving fans in eager anticipation of the unfolding chapters in Chelsea’s ongoing saga.
