Wilfried Zaha spoke after Saturday’s 4-3 defeat at Anfield givin a clear message that the Eagles should take the positives from the match against the league leaders but was still clearly disappointed not to be taking anything from their visit to the north-west.
“You can’t come to Anfield and score three goals but still lose. We need to tighten up because some of the goals we conceded today are just not good enough so it’s not a case of we performed well but were unlucky, we just need to be better, a lot better.”
Zaha recorded an assist for the opening goal of the afternoon against Liverpool as the visitors broke the deadlock through Andros Townsend, as he fired home past Alisson from close range after the Eagles winger put the cross into the box.
