Crystal Palace v Wolves (Sun, 14:00 GMT)
Let’s bring you the words of Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner in full, beginning with his opening admission that he is currently “not good enough” in his role.
Speaking to the media before their match with Wolves on Sunday, Glasner said: “I’m always realistic, and we’re not in the best moment right now. And to be honest, I understand, and I take responsibility for everything because I’m responsible for the whole team. And right now, I’m just not good enough to replace the players we sold. I’m just not good enough to integrate the new players in a way to play the same way like we did, and I’m not good enough that we can cope with the schedule we had.
“On the other side, I was good enough to play the best season ever, win two trophies and also to look back 32 points after 26 games – I look back because I like to look back sometimes – Crystal Palace has been better twice. Once was our season last year, and once in 2021. Never before it was more or less between 25 and 29 points all the time.
“It looks like even now when everybody is completely angry, disappointed, frustrated, we are playing a better Premier League season than eight of the last 10 seasons Crystal Palace has played. We play European football, and that is the reality.”
