"I can't play many players. They did everything they could and this has been going on for weeks and months now. We have 12, 13 players from the squad available and we feel no support. The worst thing is selling our captain one day before playing a Premier League game. We are preparing, it's the first [full] week we are training since September, and then we are selling our captain one day before a game. So I have no understanding of this."
"I have always kept my mouth [shut], but I can't because I have to defend these players, because it was the 35th game today. Yes we get under pressure here and we are unlucky. But again, you can't react, we can't help them, it makes it really tough."
Crystal Palace were beaten 2-1 by Sunderland at the Stadium of Light after Yeremy Pino opened the scoring, Enzo Le Fee levelled before half-time, and Brian Brobbey struck the winner in the 71st minute. Palace have now gone ten matches without a victory, their longest run since January–March 2023. Manager Oliver Glasner confirmed he will leave at the end of the season and criticised the club’s transfer decisions, highlighting the impending sale of captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City and the possible departure of Jean-Philippe Mateta. Glasner said the squad feels unsupported and criticised the timing of the captain’s sale one day before the match.
