It has been a miserable start to a first full campaign in charge at Selhurst Park for Oliver Glasner, who had impressed during the opening few months of his tenure.
Beaten 1-0 by Liverpool before the international break, the pressure is on. Palace may have been unlucky at times this season but lingering in the relegation zone does not feel good enough for a team boasting their kind of quality.
