October 2025
Glasner rejected claims that Palace’s 3-0 win over Liverpool was devalued by Arne Slot’s rotation, calling such remarks “disrespectful.” Palace dominated through Ismaila Sarr’s first-half brace and Yeremy Pino’s late finish, exploiting Liverpool’s inexperience and booking a place in the Carabao Cup fifth round. Glasner praised his side’s intensity and transitional sharpness, crediting disciplined pressing and swift counter-attacks. He reaffirmed belief in his depth players, contrasting Palace’s structure with Liverpool’s disjointed shape. With consistent execution, Glasner’s team now position themselves as dark horses in domestic cup competition.
