Is Glasner the problem?

[NEILLO]

You are correct he did say that, and also That the tactics he prefers he will stick with.

So that begs the question ; is this your version of '' I'll stick with the formation no matter what '' ?

No, do you think he just did one after match interview, he said '' I'll stick with the formation no matter what '' in the one i saw, and guess what he has played that formation in every match so far and at Frankfurt, can you stop boring me to death now.

The tactics that took him to European glory​

At Frankfurt, Glasner adopted a similar playing style to previous manager Adi Hütter - deploying a 3-4-2-1 formation, which develops into more of a 3-2-5 during attacking play.

Within Glasner’s tactics, the defensive line of three work with the goalkeeper to build play from the back, with the two central midfielders sitting deeper to offer an option when required. The wing-backs push on into advanced positions to provide the connection between defence and attack in wider areas.

Defensively, Glasner’s Frankfurt remained very compact as a back three, with the majority of the defensive pressing being done by the holding midfielders or the wing-backs. Against stronger opponents, the wing-backs were asked to ‘sit in’ more, making the defensive shape more of a 5-2-3. In games like this, the holding midfielders were asked to press higher, win the ball back and facilitate a counterattack.

The defensive style of Frankfurt under Glasner used zonal marking - working within groups to counter-press their opponents efficiently, winning the ball back as high as possible.

Just had a quick look at Frankfurt and they have Marmoush on the left, he's scored 11 goals in 10 appearances this season. Crazy.
Also noticed they have a striker I believe we were linked to Ekitike or something like that. 22 and starting to get a decent record.

You can definitely see parallels with how Palace play.

I would argue though that with Palace this season the two central midfielders don't necessarily sit deep.
This means when they are bypassed the opposition have a free run at our back 3 and we have been exposed quite a few times this season on the counter.

Our front 3 haven't pressed well this season and we haven't retained possession well enough to pin teams.

It seems to me there are no half measures with Glasner’s system.
For it to function properly all parts have to work smoothly (as it did at the end of last season).
It also needs the glue of Wharton (or equivalent) to link the play.
