Crystal Palace Manager Oliver Glasner Expresses Pride in Team’s Performance

Following today’s draw, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner conveyed his thoughts to Sky Sports, stating: “I’m really proud of the team and the players for how they performed today. It was the third game in six days. We should have taken the lead before half-time. We had two great chances after making it 1-0. You could see the players were tired, the squad is very tight at the moment. I’m really proud of how we performed today.” Glasner noted that his side capitalized on set plays, scoring twice, as they anticipated Wolverhampton Wanderers would have difficulty defending them. He remarked that with numerous opportunities, specifically five or six clear chances in an away fixture, the team should have secured a victory. He reiterated that the players appeared significantly fatigued following a demanding week. Addressing the disallowed goal, Glasner commented: “I could see it, yes. It’s a 50/50 decision. We can see how the referee whistled in the game. He continued many duels, he didn’t call for a foul. I think if the referee allowed it then the VAR wouldn’t have taken it back. The one is the hand from Dawson. This is a decision where VAR has to intervene because it’s a clear red card. We can’t influence it but we can decide the chances we have in the moment.” Regarding the injuries affecting his squad, the manager stated: “Everyone knows what to do and how we want to play. it’s a great group and we have to use the international break for two or three players coming back. Eze and Wharton can create chances but the players today created a lot of chances.” When questioned about the team’s performance from the previous season, Glasner responded: “It makes no sense to talk about that. We are so far away from it. We’ve got players settling into how we play. I think Trevoh Chalobah played more this week than he did in the last eight months. We need the injured players back but they will come back.” Sandi Toksvig will be accompanied by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
