New Crystal Palace manager Glasner lays out tactical plan

New Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has outlined his tactics to the supporters.

The 49-year-old is the man that Palace believe can take them to the next level.

Veteran Roy Hodgson kept the club in the Premier League last term, but was chided for his negative approach to games.

Glasner, who won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022, stated to reporters this week: "The philosophy is easy; it is scoring goals.

"As I tell the players, this is why we started playing football. No one went on the pitch when they were young to defend. We should never forget this.

"The fans want to see us fighting and playing together to score a goal. Then, of course, we think about how we defend, whether a high press or a low block, but the philosophy is about scoring goals."

He added: "We want to get as many points and wins as we can. It is very important that we play the same way at Selhurst Park or in the away games.

"We always need to trust in ourselves, our team-mates and what we do. It's not a sprint or a marathon but maybe [a 5k] or something like that. I am confident we will reach our goal and that we can improve as a team and individually."
