The Anglo-Nigerian winger was back on the losing side of a painful loss to the Eagles
Eberechi Eze has stated that Crystal Palace must move on after their 4-0 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Eagles started the season well with victories at home to Southampton and away at Manchester United, but the situation changed when they were beaten 2-1 on their turf by an impressive Everton team last week.
The misery would continue at Stamford Bridge with Ben Chilwell, Kurt Zouma and Jorginho twice from the penalty spot, doing the damage.
Eze started for the second game in a row and completed 90 minutes for the first time in the league, but Palace’s losing streak continues, losing every time a match has started, a streak that began in their 11-10 penalty shootout loss to Bournemouth. in the second round of the EFL Cup.
“It’s not easy,” he told Premier League Productions on the Crystal Palace website. “They are a good team and they punish you if you give them a chance, so it’s a kick in the teeth, but we have to go back.
“As an attacking player you want to create and score goals, but they were a good team and today we were not up to the task.
“We want to work as hard as we can and finish as high as we can on the table. So with results like today, we just have to keep going and keep working.”
“It’s difficult because you never want to concede four goals, but we work hard against a very good team, but if you give them opportunities, they will take advantage of them, so it’s difficult.”
Palace boss Roy Hodgson urged his players to trust themselves rather than insist on painful defeat.
“When you get hit up to four goals to nil, it’s even more difficult,” he said. “I thought that in the first half we defended very well and I must say that I really didn’t see them score four goals in the second half if we continued playing along that line.
“[The lessons are] To make sure that we show confidence in ourselves when we have the opportunity to break out and put our foot on the ball, that we take advantage of that and demonstrate the necessary faith in ourselves when that kind of situation occurs. Otherwise, I’m afraid there is nothing to learn from him, other than that the losses are very painful. “
Palace will hope to get back on track when they host Brighton and Hove Albion at Selhurst Park after the international break.
