Oliver Glasner is a great coach.

I don’t know how to explain it to you, but imagine that the only unbeaten team in the Premier League so far is Crystal Palace!

Without exaggeration, Oliver Glasner caught Arnie Slot today and they knew what football means.

Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 and could have achieved a historic first-half score had it not been for Alisson’s brilliance!

What’s truly impressive is that Crystal Palace currently sits in second place with 12 points, creates

the most clear-cut chances in the league with 21, ranks third in expected goals after United and City, and boasts the second-best defense, having conceded only 3 goals!

The phrase “great coach” is truly an understatement for a coach like Oliver Glasner.

He took a team on the verge of relegation and transformed it into a team that won the FA Cup against City and the Super Cup against Liverpool, and went undefeated in its last 18 matches, a first in their history!

What Glassner is doing with Crystal Palace is literally a miracle.

Liverpool conceding this many clear-cut chances is disastrous in and of itself

and this is the highest number of chances created since the Newcastle match, with four clear-cut chances.

This is a complete indication that the pressing system is lacking, the defensive reset phase is lost, and the team’s alignment under the ball is disorganized.

You don’t know how to resist your opponent’s transitions or prevent them from creating chances against you.

This terrifying number is the expected result.

Perhaps if Palace had a striker, these chances would have led to goals.

At the same time, creating five clear-cut chances and missing five of them is also strange.

And three of them came from Salah and Isaac.

This team was mentally unavailable on the pitch. It’s impossible for two finishers like these to miss like that.

In general, it was a matter of time and space.

Liverpool has been winning since the beginning of the league season without a product that would support the viewer’s conviction of their victory, so their fall was inevitable.

Remaining at the top for at least one more round would be the biggest gain, a chance to catch up.

The problem is that their rivals Chelsea will be the injured team with two losses in the last two rounds!

From now on, I can say that the Reds’ lead is threatened much closer than we expected!
