“Crystal Palace Faces Growing Pains Under Oliver Glasner: A Call for Patience Amidst Early Season Struggles”

**Crystal Palace Faces Growing Pains Under Oliver Glasner** Manager Oliver Glasner is emphasizing the importance of patience as Crystal Palace navigates a challenging start to the season, with signs of progress proving elusive. Crystal Palace supporters have long been characterized by a sense of pessimism, a trait perhaps shaped by past experiences. Even after a triumphant end to last season, when Eberechi Eze netted a fifth goal against Aston Villa—securing Champions League qualification just days earlier—many fans were already bracing for potential setbacks. Last season, Palace showcased an exciting attacking trio of Eze, Michael Olise, and Jean-Philippe Mateta, culminating in a strong finish where they won six of their last seven Premier League matches. This impressive run allowed them to achieve their highest-ever points total (49) and secure a 10th-place finish. However, a summer of significant changes at Selhurst Park has left fans anxious. With Olise's transfer to Bayern Munich and Glasner himself being pursued by the German club following his successful start, concerns are mounting that the team may be entering a period of discontent this autumn.
