“It’s not about blaming anybody” Olivier Glasner jawdropping post match comment will leave the EAGLES fans speechless… A real mentality of leadership.
Oliver Glasner revealed that he refused to let Dean Henderson apologise for Crystal Palace’s 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Monday night.
Palace nearly took the lead in the first half when Eddie Nketiah struck from distance in the 19th minute, but his shot clipped the outside of the right post.
Forest eventually broke the deadlock in the 65th minute after Trevoh Chalobah’s clearance landed at the feet of Chris Wood, who fired a half-volley past Henderson. The Palace goalkeeper managed to get a hand on the shot but couldn’t prevent it from going in.
Palace made several substitutions, including Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ismaila Sarr, and 19-year-old Asher Agbinone, who made his senior debut. However, they were unable to find an equaliser, extending their winless Premier League run to eight games, surpassing the previous record set by Frank de Boer and Roy Hodgson at the start of the 2017-18 season.
“Henderson tried to apologise, but I wouldn’t allow it,” Glasner said.
“It’s not about blaming anyone. He’s made many crucial saves for us this season and last.
“It’s part of the game, and everyone makes mistakes. He doesn’t need to apologise for any error.
“What matters is how we respond to those mistakes, and it only took us five or 10 minutes to recover.
“That gives me confidence for the upcoming games. I know facing Tottenham won’t be easy – they’re a great, attacking team.
“These are the challenges ahead of us, and we will need Dean. He will be there to help us.”
