"Again, it could be straight after we got 1-0 that we could have scored the second. We had the same situation against Brentford in the Premier League. There we missed but we could keep the clean sheet so we won the game. Strasbourg have very good, quick players, we knew it and ok you can concede the equaliser but then we have the next empty net we are missing."
"and then the next big chance against the keeper that we are missing, and then you lose the game. I think that is also why we deserved to lose today. It was the second defeat missing too many chances. Against Larnaca missing too many chances too. It is a little bit the story. We need more players who show up and score goals. On the other side nobody does it on purpose and at the moment it happens too often."
Crystal Palace took an early 1-0 lead through Tyrick Mitchell but conceded twice in the second half and lost 2-1 to Strasbourg in the Europa Conference League. The defeat continued a pattern of missed clear chances across recent matches, including opportunities from open net and one-on-one situations. The club now sits outside automatic qualification positions for the knockout rounds. Quick, direct opponents exploited defensive lapses and chance conversion failures. The squad lacks consistent goal scorers and cannot rely solely on clean sheets. A need exists for more players to produce goals and finish chances to change the recent run.
