Jeffrey Schlupp said: “It was crazy. It was a weird game [against West Ham], because we actually felt like we dominated the game to be honest, and you find yourself scrambling in the last five minutes! Personally [I thought], as a team, we played really well and dominated the game. You know they’re going to be a threat from set-pieces so we knew what we had to deal with, but I feel like we deserved the three points. It was a good performance. You can tell there’s some freedom in there. The coaching staff want us to express ourselves. We’ve got a lot of flair and pace, and we’re really using that. We’re frightening teams – and we want to keep that going. Every time I play I want to use my attributes. I think that’s dragging the ball, using my pace, getting in the pockets and turning and running at the defence. I feel with the boys, like Cheick [Doucouré], at the back, we’ve got the patience to build through the back and onto the midfield and get me and Ebs [Eze] in the pockets. Once we get turned and running at the defence, I don’t think any defence in the Prem wants to see that! We’re doing that well at the moment, playing with lots of confidence, and we want to keep that going.”

#PLStories- Jeffrey Schlupp admits Crystal Palace are playing with freedom again after West Ham win #CPFC
Roy Hodgson
Jeffrey Schlupp says Crystal Palace are reaping the rewards of playing with freedom after the Eagles’ 4-3 win against West Ham United. Palace made it four wins in six games since Roy Hodgson returned to the Selhurst Park hotseat, with the Eagles winning a “crazy” game in south London against the Hammers. That followed a winless start to 2023 in the Premier League under former boss Patrick Vieira, with Schlupp explaining what Hodgson and his coaching staff have done since returning to the club.
