Oliver Glasner says Palace were ‘bullied’ by Leeds in 4-1 defeat | OneFootball

Crystal Palace’s disappointing form continued this weekend as they lost 4-1 to Leeds United, and manager Oliver Glasner said his side were ‘bullied’ by their opponents.

Palace are now winless in their last three games and Glasner’s frustration is clearly growing. All four goals they conceded against Leeds were set pieces.

The Austrian said: “We were bullied from set plays. Every single set play was dangerous. I can’t remember one big chance from open play. 

“We could have conceded two or three more from set play goals. Conceding four (of them) is embarrassing.”

11 of the 19 league goals the Eagles have conceded this season have been set pieces, and they are clearly a major issue that need addressing.

Expanding on the problem, Glasner said: “It’s the fourth game in the last few weeks we’ve lost because of set plays. We conceded two against Manchester United, (one) at Strasbourg and at Arsenal.

“It looks like we’re not sharp enough. We have to show a different set-up or mindset. If you defend set plays like today you have no chance to get a point in the Premier League.”
