Crystal Palace 0-0 Aston Villa: What Glasner said

5 days ago 1

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Credit to the players for their performance and commitment. With all the circumstances, playing the most in-form team in the league and showing a game like this, I am very proud of every single player.

"We could see first half we are not full of confidence right now, but we worked into the game and second half we created some good moments.

"At the end, we had to defend a few situations and the game could have gone either way, so a draw is fair result.

"Today we had, I would say, 12 and a half outfield players available, because Chris Richards only came back yesterday. This is why we made just one substitution."

On Marc Guehi's future and Manchester City's reported interest: "If the offer would have been high enough [last summer] and the club was fine with it and Marc wanted to go, then he wouldn't be a Palace player any more.

"Last January would have been the same. Every single player has a price where a club will sell him, [especially] when you are Palace because we are not at the end of the food chain in football.

"I think Marc will stay. I'm sure our chairman will ask a very high price for him. Let's see.

"I think the fans can be calm. But you never know what can happen in football."
