Glasner fears Crystal Palace will repeat mistakes of last season without new players

Oliver Glasner, the Crystal Palace manager, is concerned that the club may repeat the mistakes of last season by not making enough new signings and facing confusion over their European place. Glasner admits he was still upset after losing to his daughter Alina at Connect 4 during the team's recent tour to his native Austria, where they prepared for the Community Shield match against Liverpool. The FA Cup triumph was Crystal Palace's first major trophy, and it was meant to act as a springboard for further success. However, the club's chair, Steve Parish, had promised that they would not repeat "some of the mistakes" of last summer, when four players were signed on deadline day, and the team had to wait until their ninth Premier League game for a win. Glasner has criticized this approach, stating that "it's not how you wished a transfer window would work." The article suggests that the lack of signings and the confusion over their European place have left Crystal Palace playing catch-up again, and Glasner fears that they may repeat the mistakes of last season.
