Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira believes his side are performing better than the Premier League table suggests, but that it also doesn’t lie.
The Eagles have had a disappointing start to the 2022/23 campaign with just one win in seven games. Three draws has kept Vieira’s side out of the relegation zone, but only goal difference separates them from 18th-placed Wolves and a two-point cushion over Leicester City and Nottingham Forest ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures.
Although results have been disappointing, performances certainly have not. The Eagles matched Arsenal and Liverpool in their first two games, losing 0-2 and drawing 1-1 respectively, before a 3-1 win against Aston Villa.
