Crystal Palace's Blaze Grows as Leeds Struggles
It's not so easy, especially when Leeds are so organised and so physical. Credit to Leeds for how they defended. Crystal Palace have failed to score in consecutive games at Selhurst Park for just the second time under Oliver Glasner (v AEK Larnaca and Leeds United), and for the first time since October 2024 (v Manchester United and Liverpool).
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day after their goalless draw with Leeds: "We could have done better, but we know that sometimes it can be more difficult [playing 10 men]. In a few other games we have been in a similar situation. We were getting nervous and taking the wrong decisions.
We weren't clinical enough in the final third. "In the end, a point and another clean sheet. It is progress.
We have to stay calm and stay in our structure because I feel we are losing our structure then. " How can you improve? "It's not just one topic.
We have won many times with a deep block and I remember we won against Brighton with two red cards. It's not so easy, especially when Leeds are so organised and so physical. "Sometimes you need a player who will win in a 1v1 situation, but to be honest we don't have plenty of them.
