Speaking on talkSPORT yesterday in reaction to the North London Derby that saw Arsenal beat Spurs 3-2, former Palace boss Alan Pardew had some words to say on Glasner’s tactical set-up against Fulham.
Pardew was discussing the tactical struggles that Ange Postecoglou faced against the Gunners, leading him to give a shout to how ‘terrifically’ the Palace boss’ style of play worked against Fulham in comparison.
“I was at Fulham and the new manager at Crystal Palace has come in and he’s playing a very very aggressive game, high line, 3-4-3, pressing the ball and it worked terrifically yesterday, it worked terrific.”
Glasner’s side never looked in doubt of getting a result against the Cottagers despite going behind, which is a testament to the manager’s tactics, which have transformed Palace since his arrival in February.
