Unbeatable Under Glasner: Crystal Palace’s Attacking Trio Steals the Show

Crystal Palace has been unbeatable in the Premier League under Oliver Glasner when Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Jean-Philippe Mateta have been in the starting lineup. In their recent match against Wolves, they each scored a goal and Olise contributed an assist for Eze’s goal. Since Glasner took charge, only Manchester City and Arsenal have earned more points in the league.

However, it was not always this way for Palace. Roy Hodgson faced injury challenges earlier in the season when both Eze and Olise were sidelined at the beginning of 2024. Due to various reasons like injuries and suspensions, Hodgson and Glasner have only been able to start all three forwards in seven games this season. Despite these challenges, Palace won six of those games and suffered just one loss.

Hodgson’s final 12 Premier League games saw him record two wins, three draws, and seven losses, with victories occurring only when the attacking trio started. On the other hand, in Glasner’s first 12 Premier League games, he achieved six wins, three draws, and three losses, with four wins featuring the trio in the starting lineup. Despite fewer opportunities to start them compared to Hodgson, Glasner has successfully unlocked their attacking potential.

Palace fans are delighted with how Glasner has rejuvenated the team and utilized the talents of Eze, Olise, and Mateta. The attacking trio has been instrumental in the team’s recent successes underlining the impact of Glasner’s tactics and management on their performance on the field.

In conclusion Crystal Palace has been unbeatable whenever its full-strength attacking trio starts under Oliver Glasner. However it was not always that way as Roy Hodgson faced injury challenges earlier in
