So the place does Tuesday’s end result go away Palace?

In stark distinction to his reverse quantity, Oliver Glasner seemed ashen-faced when he addressed the media after the full-time whistle, which was greeted by loud boos from the Palace supporters.

Having watched his workforce arrest a 12-match winless run in opposition to arch rivals Brighton final trip, Glasner seemed set to mark his a centesimal match answerable for the membership with one other morale-boosting win after Strand Larsen’s double.

However Palace froze after Mejbri had pulled a purpose again for Burnley, who took full benefit of the hosts’ inertia to inflict one of the crucial painful defeats of the Austrian’s Selhurst Park tenure.

“It is not acceptable,” Glasner, who’s leaving the membership in the summertime, instructed TNT Sports activities. “I am unable to clarify it. Possibly [the first 39 minutes] have been too straightforward.

“The beginning was excellent. We managed the whole lot, [but] I’ve watched all of the objectives again and it is simply not acceptable how we defended as a workforce – simply jogging round, not within the duels, not within the second balls.”

One other concern, based on Glasner, is the presence of a Marc Guehi-sized gap within the Palace defence.

The England defender left for Manchester Metropolis for an preliminary £20m final month in a transfer which incurred the wrath of Glasner, who introduced his personal departure not lengthy afterwards.

“Proper now, we do not have somebody on the pitch who leads the workforce in these moments, who makes gamers calm and decides the which means of the sport,” he stated.

“I reward the boys fairly often for his or her effort. While you throw the sport away like we did, you do not should win.”

Palace are nonetheless eight factors above the underside three – a sizeable cushion, however one not comfy sufficient for a aspect with just one win in all competitions since 11 December.

Defeat at house to Wolves of their subsequent league sport actually would set alarm bells ringing.
