Oliver Glasner says Crystal Palace will seriously review the match after their 1-4 defeat to Leeds United and plan to readjust on Tuesday. Crystal Palace suffered their first away defeat in the Premier League since October, with Leeds United's Dominique Calvert-Lewin scoring twice, both goals stemming from long throw-ins.
Justin Devonny salvaged some pride for his team with a late penalty, but Anton Stahg's free-kick sealed the victory. Oliver Glasner said his team had a tough night at Elland Road, still lacking in fundamentals, but he believes the current players can respond positively.
Oliver Glasner said: "Our form was clearly not ideal. It's very difficult to get points in the Premier League if you defend set pieces like we did today. That's the main reason we ultimately lost and conceded many goals."
“Every confrontation must be fought for. In the end, Cristianus Uche succeeded, and we were awarded a penalty. That’s football. Sometimes a game can be reduced to the most basic elements, and we didn’t do enough in those basic elements.”
When asked if the team needed to make signings in January, he said: "I don't plan to discuss January matters because we will be playing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in a few days. Right now, we only have the current squad available, which is fine. I have full confidence in this team. These players have proven their ability many times, although their performance today was not as expected."
“Tomorrow we will reflect on ourselves and remain as honest as ever. I think there are many things the team needs to discuss. Three days later, we will have the opportunity to perform better, especially in defending set pieces. This is a key task because we may face the strongest set-piece opponents next.”
