The manager also highlighted the importance of taking advantage of scoring opportunities, citing the team's failure to capitalize on two chances as a significant factor in the loss. He also acknowledged the quality of Manchester City's play, particularly in the opening goal scored by Foden, who demonstrated the team's clinical finishing ability.

Additionally, Glasner pointed out that Crystal Palace's poor defending contributed to the second goal, and that the team should have done better when in possession of the ball, as losing it easily allowed Manchester City to increase the pressure.
