What happened in the FA Cup
Austrian Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace's manager, harshly criticized his players after the FA Cup loss to Macclesfield.
Macclesfield, a sixth-tier club in English football, beat Crystal Palace 2-1 on Saturday in the FA Cup third round.
Glasner said that he congratulated Macclesfield on the win, but Palace didn't play well and no player won a 1v1 duel.
If you can't create clear chances, that's a shortcoming in quality.
Honestly, we deserved to lose, and I have no explanation for what I saw; we can search for excuses, but such matches don't need tactical plans or a coach.
I think if you show your abilities and play with heart and desire, you will perform differently.
Crystal Palace had won the trophy last season after beating Manchester City in the final.
Note that John Rooney, Macclesfield's coach, is the younger brother of Wayne Rooney.
Note to Palace: next time, bring a bigger bench. And if in doubt, blame the bench.
