Eberechi Eze has failed to star regularly for Crystal Palace this season as Oliver Glasner’s early season struggles continue.

The Eagles have not been at the races this season so far with zero Premier League wins after five games have been played.

The struggles have seen star players struggling in attack with Eberechi Eze among those out of form right now.

Despite this, the Crystal Palace star has scored three goals and made one assist in all competitions – although he should have had far more.

Now, he’s been catching criticism for his failure to do one thing.

Tony Cascarino has one criticism of Eberechi Eze

Despite producing some moments of magic, like for his goal against Chelsea, this season has not been ideal for Eze.

Losing his partner in crime Michael Olise, he no longer has that player to bounce off in attack – although early signs are that Eddie Nketiah could become that.

Now, ahead of facing Everton on Saturday, Eze has been told he must improve one thing.

Speaking on talkSPORT during Saturday morning’s Game Day Breakfast show, former Premier League striker Tony Cascarino has been critical of Eze.

“Eze is a fabulous footballer, a very gifted footballer. He just isn’t very clinical enough because he had two great chances in the game. You see quite often with him.”

Cascarino is spot-on, with Eze being the most talented player under contract at Copers Cope right now, although at times his lack of quality in front of goal can be frustrating.

Crystal Palace must start taking chances

Cascarino’s point was proven last week when the Eagles took on Manchester United in a 0-0 draw.

Eze missed two big chances which if he had scored, would have led to a victory for Crystal Palace.

Having only scored four times in the Premier League this season so far, Crystal Palace need to start taking these chances if they don’t, this slow start to the season could continue which will end up making relegation a real danger.

Eze is not the only culprit of this, so we absolutely need the attack to click together and start making a difference.
