"I'm still full of belief," Palmer said, per Goal. "After the season I've had, I don't see any reason why I should be down. So I will just try and stay positive and when I get on the pitch, try to make an impact."
"I just tried to play my game when I went on and I think I did that. I tried to create chances and be positive.

“There are great players everywhere in the team, so I'm just supporting whoever is on the pitch [when substitute] and when I get my chance, I need to try and show what I can do."
Palmer in England's performance level
"Our goal was to qualify and finish top of the group and we've done that. But we know there are levels we can go up and hopefully we can show that.”
"All the games in the tournament are difficult as you can see, no matter who it is. So we know we need to move up through those [performance] levels and hopefully we can do that."
