Crystal Palace boss Glasner: Eze showing he's our most dangerous player

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner was happy with Ebere Eze's performance in their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Eze laid on the goal scored by Jean-Philippe Mateta on the day.

Glasner said: “He was our most dangerous player.

“He was involved in the 1-0, and he had the big chance just before half-time. [From the corner in the second-half] 9 or 10 times [out of ten], he scores, and this was the 10th, so he misses the far post.

“But also there were some moments, always when we moved the ball quickly, we had control of the game. There were some situations where we could have moved the ball quicker, and we didn't do it, and then we lost the ball. This also gave them a little bit of momentum, because then the crowd came back.

“The challenge we have, and the way we have to go, is to always move the ball quickly, so that they have to run, and then we will find the spaces. When we see this chance [Eze's] right before half-time, we started on the left, we passed, we passed, nobody had more than two touches, and then we created gaps because they had to move. And then we had the players, with the quality like Adam Wharton, to make these passes."
