Glasner Slams Crystal Palace After FA Cup Upset: U21s Would Have Performed Better

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner was left fuming after his team's shocking FA Cup third-round exit at the hands of non-League side Macclesfield. In a post-match interview, Glasner expressed his disappointment, stating that his Under-21 side could have done a better job. The National League North team, formed just five years ago, pulled off one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history, becoming the first non-League team to beat the FA Cup holders in 117 years. Glasner attributed the loss to a lack of quality from his team, saying they deserved to lose. He criticized his players for not showing enough pride and failing to create clear-cut chances. The Austrian manager admitted that he was looking for a better performance from his team but was left stunned by their meek surrender of the trophy they won in May. With Crystal Palace now without a win in their last nine matches, Glasner is concerned about his team's form and believes that changes need to be made.
