“That’s unacceptable” – GlasnerPublished on February 11th 22:30 GMT
FT: Crystal Palace 2-3 Burnley
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner told TNT Sports: “I can’t explain it. We gave the game away too easily. Maybe it was too easy. We weren’t strong enough, we didn’t defend well. It’s hard to have a consistent performance for 95 minutes. Once this happens, once this happens, you get punished.”
“We had a good start and scored a very good goal. We controlled everything. We watched every goal, but our defense as a team was unacceptable. We were just jogging, not dueling or second balls.”
“We gave our best in the second half, but we didn’t deserve to win.
“I often praise the players for their efforts. They had a great effort against Brighton three days ago, so it’s not a character issue. I don’t know why.” [for tonight]The players are always working hard.
“If you give up games like we did, you don’t deserve to win.
“We don’t know what to do with this ball. This is not a serious play. We can’t clear it. We start with the kickoff after 2-2, play the ball long and then they have a big chance. This is unacceptable.”
“Right now we don’t have someone on the pitch to lead the team in situations like this, to calm the players down and make them decide what the game is about. That’s why we lost.”
