Palace players have to look at themselves - Wright

Former Crystal Palace striker Ian Wright says the players could have worked harder after the Eagles sacked manager Frank de Boer.

The former Ajax and Inter Milan boss managed just 77 days in charge and was dismissed on Monday after losing all four of his Premier League matches.

"The way they played against Burnley is the way they should’ve started the season," says Wright. "You don’t need to wait until your manager is under pressure, or you are playing at a great stadium like Anfield to put in a shift."

And Wright says changing the manager may not result in improved performances at Selhurst Park, adding: "You’ve got Pardew, you’ve got Allardyce, and now you’ve got De Boer. You’ve got the same players. They players have to look at themselves."
