Crystal Palace – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club improved its performance under the leadership of Glasner without waiting for the next season
“The Glaziers”, swapping their long-time coach Hodgson for Oliver, were apparently already thinking about the season 2024/2025. The Austrian specialist was simply allowed to get used to the realities of English football in “combat” conditions, but without tournament tasks. Still, he quickly adjusted the game, so that the club from London won 5 out of 6 previous matches, including the success in the battle against Manchester United – 4-0. On Saturday, the team beat Wolverhampton with a 3-1 score on the native field.
Aston Villa – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club lost its shape at the most inopportune moment
“The Villans” almost crashed out of the Conference League after losing to Lille, but still won the penalty shoot-out thanks to Emiliano Martinez’s skill in that aspect. Still, then the Argentine goalkeeper no longer played, and the British club unexpectedly and hopelessly lost to Olympiacos without him – a 2-4 score on the home field and a 0-2 failure in Piraeus. At the same time, Unai Emery’s wards lost a 2-goal advantage over Chelsea and lost to Brighton in the Premier League. As for the game with Liverpool, they had been losing until the 85th minute of the confrontation, but then Palacio scored a double, not without luck, and secured 4th position.
