Palace manager Glasner sees upcoming Forest clash as a new opportunity.

However, Glasner emphasized, "We will have to wait and see how the players perform on Monday at Nottingham to determine if the international break was timed correctly. As always, our goal is to make the most out of every situation. During the break, we had a mix of players representing their countries and others focusing on individual training, particularly in the first week."

“Today was the first training all together and it's positive that we play on Monday. We have three days preparing for the Nottingham game and the evidence is on Monday.  

“We don't go into the right direction (so far this season) because we wanted and expected to have more points. And the performances, it's always in many parts of the game, against Liverpool, against Man Utd, against Everton, against Leicester.

“In many parts of the game, we are competitive, but at the end, we lose or we have a draw. Some percentages we are missing, and this is what we are talking about.

“If it would always be the same, it would be easy to change it, but sometimes we lose the focus – like Everton,  after two second phases, after set plays. Then, sometimes we miss the clear chances we have to get a better result. Everything isn't so settled at the moment, and this is what we are working on.

“We always focus on what we can influence. We can't influence luck or not. We can force the situation. We can create more situations to score more goals. We can create more chances. We can defend better so that the opposite team doesn't get so many chances or clear situations to score – this is what we can do on the pitch.

“This is what we can train, but we can't train  lucky or unlucky.”
