Glasner on Ipswich, Eze and deja vu

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Tuesday’s Premier League game against Ipswich Town (kick-off 19:30 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

Eberechi Eze “is OK to start again” after returning from injury on Saturday but Glasner said “we could see he didn’t have a lot of training in the weeks before”.
Tuesday’s game comes too soon for midfielder Adam Wharton, but Glasner thinks the game against Brighton on 15 December “is possible for him”. He hopes the England international will be back in training later this week.
The rest of the squad that were involved against Newcastle “are fit and available”.
He does not believe the game against Ipswich is a “six-pointer” but winning on Tuesday is the club’s “clear target”.
On whether the point against Newcastle could be a turning point he said: “You can ask me this after the Ipswich game – I don’t know. It’s not just the point, the performance was really good. We created chances and it was a bit of deja vu having clear chances but missing. In the end getting the reward… it’s how you write books for movies. Daniel Munoz missing two big chances and scoring in extra time.”
Glasner said despite the performance, “we are not pleased with the result” – but praised the defence and described restricting Newcastle to no shots on target from open play as “unbelievably well done”.
