Oliver Glasner has criticised the English Football League for what he perceives to be a lack of respect towards his Crystal Palace side competing in the Conference League. Palace appear to be struggling with the return to domestic football following their European outings, winning just once after eight fixtures in the Conference League this season. However, Palace's fixture list is piling up, having played Manchester City four days before that Conference League tie. And the Palace boss has taken aim at the EFL for what he believes are demands Champions League or Europa League clubs would not have to abide by. 'This is the only criticism for me to the EFL,' Glasner said following Palace's 4-1 defeat at Leeds.
