can Crystal Palace sustain special season?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Glasner joined Palace in February 2024 following successful stints at Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The 51-year-old has since guided Palace to back-to-back record points totals in the Premier League and led them to a first major trophy when they triumphed over Manchester City in the FA Cup last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">That led to a first ever appearance in a major European competition &#8211; although it was downgraded from Europa League to Europa Conference League because of multi-club ownership rules &#8211; while they also beat league winners Liverpool to win the Community Shield.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher said on Sky Sports: &#8220;We are watching the best manager and the best team in Crystal Palace&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Those supporters could not have dreamed what would happen to their football club when that man came in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Selhurst Park has become one of the toughest places for teams to play with Palace unbeaten there in the league this season until defeat by United last weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">On the road, their form is arguably even better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Since Glasner&#8217;s first game in charge in March 2024, only Arsenal (65), Liverpool (57) and Manchester City (55) have won more Premier League points away from home than Crystal Palace (52).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the defeat by United prompted Glasner to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/c3w7197dj3do\" class=\"ssrcss-k8mrr8-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">criticise the club<\/a> as he suggested the club-record \u00a360m brought in by the sale of Eberechi Eze this summer has not been reinvested in the squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">His side have lost all four league matches they have played after a midweek European match this season, suggesting squad depth and juggling the increased schedule demands has been a problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And Glasner was quick to point it out, saying the club had &#8220;thrown away&#8221; the chance to play an even better season by not spending in the summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;When he gets a result he doesn&#8217;t like, he is not shy in being outspoken about the board or the sporting director,&#8221; said Carragher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;They probably have to take it on the chin because he is the greatest manager in their history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cpwkypx4gllo?at_medium=RSS&#038;at_campaign=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glasner joined Palace in Febru&hellip;
