"I feel we are being abandoned completely. 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 manager Oliver Glasner confirmed he will leave when his contract expires at season end, while expressing frustration over the club's transfer strategy and perceived lack of support to replace departing players. He criticised the timing of captain Marc Guehi's transfer to Manchester City, calling the sale one day before a Premier League match unacceptable, and said the squad felt abandoned with only 12–13 players available. Palace sold Eberechi Eze to Arsenal in summer; after an unbeaten start across 11 matches, the team is now winless in its last ten fixtures despite winning the FA Cup last May.
