Gabby Agbonlahor shares Crystal Palace relegation verdict
Crystal Palace have managed just one win in their last eight games in the first division and results should improve immediately.
Since Oliver Glasner took over in mid-February, the Eagles have scored five points in their last five games. They are winless in their last four games, including a 1-0 defeat against AFC Bournemouth in midweek.
The winless streak could extend to at least two more games when they face each other city of manchester and Liverpool consecutively, and depending on other results they could find themselves closer to the relegation zone.
Palace are currently 14th in the Premier League, eight points above the relegation zone. If they continue to lose points and teams like Nottingham Forest or Everton If they get wins, they could be dragged into a relegation battle.
However, Gabby Agbonlahor believes that will not be the case. Speaking on talkSPORT (April 4, 7.10am), the popular pundit said Palace need one more win to ensure their Premier League safety.
“Another win for Palace and they will be fine” Agbonlahor said on talkSPORT Breakfast.
Crystal Palace not out of the woods yet
It seems that Palace are only concentrating on survival at the moment and are looking for a major rebuild next summer.
Palace have been unlucky with injuries this season and are still missing several key players. Michael Olise, March Guehi, Rob Holding and Cheick Doucoure are currently absent, which has hurt their overall performance.
Glasner needs more time and support to implement his philosophy. You also need to bring players of your choice. Palace's main problem right now is that they waste too many chances and concede goals in the second half.
Against Luton, Palace were marching towards victory, but conceded in the 90th minute. Nottingham Forest also scored in the second half to make it 1-1. Justin Kluivert scored in the 79th minute in midweek, and you could see a pattern developing here.
