‘I think it was a huge performance today’published at 16:56 BST
FT: Crystal Palace 2-2 Everton
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner speaking to Sky Sports: “I’m more pleased with the performance, especially second half. At the end, maybe the last 30 minutes, it felt like Everton had to play 3 days ago, because we put so much pressure, we created chances. We always knew Everton can be dangerous. At the end it was one mistake we made, but I’m really proud of the team’s effort today of the belief we had and also on the mentality, not to get the draw over the goal line but to play for our win. I think it was a huge performance today.”
On frustration having to concede in both halves: “I told the players at half time, this is the difference between conference league and premier league. Conference is very technical and premier league is so physical. After the first 10 minutes we had to find the switch. In the first 10 minutes they were just in our half. It was like this against Bournemouth, with corners. We talked about it and the reaction today was much better than it was against Bournemouth. I think we played well, scored a nice goal, always were threatening. It’s psychological. The way we played the way we created chances, it was great to watch, big credit to the players.”
On the extra recovery day for the players: “The last premier league game was between the two semi finals and now there is two and half weeks to prepare for the final, it’s a little bit different. The players, even yesterday, looked much fresher and this is what they showed today, it’s not just the mentality, it’s the quality, it was incredible.”
On who he will be supporting in West Ham v Arsenal: “I can’t say because we play city in three days, this makes them more aggressive, we are neutral. We just want to get point after point. Todays performance makes me proud and now we prepare for city. We know they are on a good run, playing so well, but all these performances will help us develop individually and as a team. Seven months ago we played at Everton, we dominated first 60 minutes but then we had a drop off and pressure increased. We lost 2-1 and today I had the feeling it was the opposite. The last 30 minutes we were more on their half, and we were the team maybe closer to win it. We have played more than 20 games since and this is just the development of the team and what we can be proud of.”
