We asked for you to tell us one thing that is not being talked about enough at Crystal Palace at the moment.

Here are some of your comments:

Richard: I've noticed the lack of patience with from fans, who are expecting instant success, after our run at the end of last season. We've lost a couple of first team players, bought in new players like Daichi Kamada, Maxence Lacroix, Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah. They need time to settle in, particularly the ones without Premier League experience. Keep the faith, people!

Rich: Matches this season have felt like expectations will get us through matches. The end of last season was built on hard work, understanding the system and our pace when pressing. This season the energy is missing and while the new players are bedding in, they have not met the high standards the players we've lost set. I'm positive Oliver Glasner is the right man and we will improve.

Bill: This time last year we were four points better off with a supposedly inferior side. I think it was wrong to sell Joachim Andersen and we should have cashed in on Marc Guehi. I don't think Kamada is any better than Jordan Ayew. I believe Jean-Philippe Mateta had a "purple patch" and will revert to the form he had in his first two years. I'm also unsure of Glasner's tactics.

Martin: Have no clue why we sold Andersen. He was the rock at the heart of our defence and now we look vulnerable. That uncertainty has spread through the team. Selling Michael Olise was a given, but Andersen??

Matt: I think the winning run we had at the end of last season seems long gone. I'm seeing nothing of Palace this season like I saw last.

Steve: Our passing accuracy has slipped this year. Our defence is looking vulnerable too. I was optimistic after the end to last season but my hope is slowly evaporating as replacements are not looking like enough for the Premier League.

Real Madrid's announcement that forward Kylian Mbappe is out for three weeks could benefit Crystal Palace striker Jean-Phillipe Mateta.

The 27-year-old has not been shy in admitting that he is "dreaming" of his first international call up with France and also said that the goal is "in his head" when he spoke to BBC Sport last season.

Since that interview at the end of the previous campaign, Mateta scored five goals in six games at the Olympics in Paris to earn a silver medal for France, impressing then-manager Thierry Henry in the process.

Since returning to south London, he has added to his tally with four goals in seven games for the Eagles.

In 2024, he has scored 23 times in 33 games across all competitions for club and country.

With former Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud now retired and Mbappe set to return after the international break, Mateta's chance is opening up.

He will no doubt be watching closely when Didier Deschamps announces his squad next Thursday ahead of Nations League matches against Israel and Belgium.

While shirt numbers may only seem symbolic in football, for Dean Henderson this summer, it was anything but.

When Crystal Palace gave Henderson the literal number-one jersey before the season started, with previous owner Sam Johnstone still at the club, it was final confirmation of what was already clear – Henderson was the club's choice of the two rivals.

In truth, that positional battle had been decided for some time.

With Henderson having usurped the Palace starting role last season and, admittedly through injury, Johnstone's place at the Euros, it was a matter of time before the now number two left the club.

As a pure shot-stopper, there have been few doubts about Henderson's superiority, and his performance against Manchester United was a second defiant display against a stronger side in the opening fixtures - giving the team an undeserved draw.

In fact, after this weekend, Henderson leads the Premier League in 'goals prevented' with +3.9, per Opta, while England incumbent Jordan Pickford is sat bottom of the division in a struggling Everton side.

Despite that statistical accolade, detractors remain among the fans. After all, goalkeeping extends beyond just the shots faced, with players always under the microscope for any errors they may commit.

The past few weeks have been anything but plain sailing. On the way to conceding goals, there was hesitation in closing down Jamie Vardy against Leicester and a weak punch against QPR. Additionally, his distribution, admittedly a theme of the entire team for the opening 45 minutes this weekend, is an area needing improvement.

However, as the lone number-one talent and with the club's full endorsement, Henderson has peace of mind that the job is his - and it is already positively impacting the scoreline.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.

Here are some of your comments:

Crystal Palace fans

Len: We were lucky to get a point out of this one; however, Eze had two golden opportunities that he would normally have slotted home. Our injury list continues to present problems in selecting our best XI…but, we are not the side who finished last season so well.

Keith: Out-thought tactically in the first half and out-fouled too, with United scything down Eze repeatedly. Much better in second half, which was very even. Good performance from Henderson and the defence, but Eze continues to utterly waste golden opportunities.

Glen: Today I saw a better performance. They definitely looked fitter however the formation was not working which was very obvious from the stands. Unfortunately it took until the 70th minute to change things up. Overall we had the best of the second half and should have scored. Please start Sarr and loaning out Rak-Sakyi looks a bad idea now.

Steve: What has happened to Palace? The first half was a throwback to the Hodgson days. Passive. Negative. Unable to put two passes together. Glasner’s half-time talk brought some improvement, but Palace looked like a team already battling against relegation. I hope I’m wrong, but Glasner needs to turn it around before the rot sets in.

Man Utd fans

Tim: Some really good stuff from United in the first half, with Eriksen the pick of the players. I don't think anything was gained from bringing on Rashford when Eriksen and Zirkzee were causing Palace so may problems. Fernandes, who was average by his standards, could have come off for Rashford with Zirkzee sitting deeper.

Nigel: It concerns me that United can be so dominant but yet not deliver. For me the build up is still too slow and not positive enough. Not taking their chances that were created must be a concern for Ten Hag. The team is crying out for a regular goal scorer and Zirkzee is not that player for me. Work still to do on ‘the project'.

Jason: Another big disappointment and it could have been worse had Palace took their better chances. It was the same old lack of cutting edge, it's hard to see this team putting a run of wins together and really making a statement. The lack of urgency to go get a winning goal in the latter stages of games like this is frustrating.

Chris: Should have been home and dry after 45 minutes. In football, especially at this level, you have to take advantage when on top. United lacked a ruthlessness in front of goal and inevitably Palace then had their moments. There is much promise from Manchester United with a much improved back four and Onana has now hit top form. Two points lost.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Dean Henderson kept us alive and in the first half we have never played like this.

"I don't talk about tactics [we played] without courage in and out of possession. Very passive and this is how we don't want to play, but it happened.

"The chance at the end of the first half gave us some confidence - we spoke very honestly at half-time.

"You can always lose a game, but when you lose it you lose it with how we played in the second half.

"Second half was much better, we could've won the game, but honestly it was a bit too much today.

"We have to be critical of us when we play like first half it makes no sense to play like this."

On half-time substitutions: "We needed the runs in behind and we knew the plan before was to play direct and in behind - we didn't play there and we needed a physical presence in midfield.

"Everyone did it in a better way in the second half. We switched the system to control the middle, at the end it worked and I think with the big chances we had in the second half the point is OK for us."

On the clean sheet: "Both goalkeepers, the clean sheet is not the tactical behaviours of the teams. Unbelievable saves form both goalkeepers."

Dean Henderson joined the Manchester United academy in 2011 when he was 14.

He progressed to the first team and made 29 first-team appearances for the club, alongside loan spells at numerous clubs including Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest.

He left United for Crystal Palace last summer and he was brilliant in this game.

Henderson denied Alejandro Garnacho, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez early on - reacting quickly to readjust his feet to save from the latter two.

He made seven saves in total - the most by an Eagles goalkeeper in a Premier League match without conceding since Vicente Guaita v Newcastle in January last year.

Palace will perhaps feel they deserved more than a point in the end, but the fact they had a chance to earn more was because of Henderson's vital interventions.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been speaking to Sky Sports: "I think in the end it was [a good point]. We missed a couple of key opportunities. There was one in the second half where we could have scrambled the ball over the line, Andre Onana made a great save and we were unlucky in the end.

"I think it was certainly a game of two halves. After the first half we will take the point and be delighted with it."

On if expectations were raised by last season's win: "No, I think we were attacking the game to win it and we had a game plan to do so. I don't think it quite worked in the first half. We made some tweaks in the second half, which made us more aggressive and on the front foot, and that gave us more success in the second half."

More to come from Palace? "We lost some key players in the summer, everyone knows that, but we brought in some good players too. It just takes time for people to get up to speed, get on the same level and understand the system.

"We've got a a great system here and we are all fully behind the manager. We believe that it will all come together once everyone is up to full fitness and people start to understand their roles a bit more. We need to just be Palace, be hard to beat and hard to play against, we need to get back to that level that we reached at the end of last season."

BBC Radio 5 Live match commentaries:

• Crystal Palace v Manchester United

Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

For week five, he takes on singer-songwriter and West Ham fan James Smith whose debut album, Common People, is out now.

Crystal Palace host Manchester United on Saturday at 17:30 BST.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Crystal Palace pumped Manchester United 4-0 in May, but since then they have sold Michael Olise, who scored twice in that game and makes goals as well as scores them.

Eagles boss Oliver Glasner made a huge impact when he came in last season but, so far, this campaign has not been plain sailing for him.

Glasner wants to play an attacking brand of football but I feel like that will suit Manchester United, and that Erik ten Hag's side can hurt Palace the same way they hurt Southampton last week.

It was a big moment in the game when Andre Onana saved Cameron Archer's penalty but, after that, United were pretty good, with Marcus Rashford looking lively.

My first instinct was that this would end in a draw but I am actually going to go with United to win it. I am still not sure about Ten Hag but I just have a sense they might be heading in the right direction, and Palace have not got going yet.

James's prediction: 0-1

I can see this being quite a boring game and Manchester United will win, even though they haven’t been playing very well. 0-1

BBC Sport journalist

Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at home against Manchester United (17:30 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Matheus Franca and new signing Trevoh Chalobah are not ready for Saturday but are expected to return to action next week.

• Chadi Riad remains out with a knee problem and Cheick Doucoure will be out for "several weeks" after injuring a tendon against Leicester but it is not a "serious injury".

• More on Doucoure's injury: "The tendon has to heal, so it’s a little bit of a bad situation for him, but he will be back in a few weeks. We are pleased that it’s not so serious. Because it was so painful, there was a worry it was a serious injury. He’s already working for his comeback."

• He said the club need to "manage" midfielder Adam Wharton after a groin problem earlier this season: "He's not pain-free and some days are better, some days are worse, so he needed the rest [in midweek]. He had the entire game against Leicester and [playing] three days later just made no sense. He needed this time to rest, but now he’s fit."

• Glasner is confident his side can hurt United: "I'm convinced we will find our spaces where we can score goals. That's what we did well in the last game [against United]. I'm convinced we will get our chances but we need to score goals."

• On new signing Eddie Nketiah who scored his first goal in midweek: "We did out homework before signing Eddie. He can play several positions because he is very smart. He's not your typical nine. He's a technical player finding space in the pocket and he's a great finisher. There were some misunderstanding between him and JP [Mateta] but it will take time."

• He views Ismaila Sarr as a threat off the bench for now: "In every single game when he came in he had a very positive impact. It is his disadvantage at the moment because you want someone on the bench who can have a positive influence. I'm sure he will get more and more minutes."

Since Oliver Glasner’s first game in charge in February, only Erling Haaland (19) has scored more Premier League goals than Jean-Philippe Mateta (15 in 17 games).

In that time, he has scored multiple goals on four occasions (three doubles, one hat-trick). Only Wilfried Zaha has ever scored more than once in more different Premier League games for the Eagles (six doubles).

The issue around the footballing calendar and the demands being placed on players right now is a difficult one.

First, we need to take into consideration the really high demands on the body that go on all-year round with few breaks, especially for international footballers and those in teams competing on multiple fronts.

I know the men's and the women's games are different, but we got exposed to these issues when we went from amateur to professional. There was a lot of loading, a lot of games and the result of that was a higher risk of injury and we have seen a lot of anterior cruciate ligament injuries now in the women's game.

From the fans' side, their point is often that players get paid a lot of money but I think that is irrelevant. That is just the industry players are in and, if you take out the money, they are still human beings.

The governing bodies need to look at who they consult with about changes in the calendar such as World Cups being held in winter and summers where there is just a couple of weeks off before going straight back into it. The changes and fixtures that are put in are there to generate more money, which makes it difficult. As a business, it is about money.

We talk about mental health a lot and you wonder, where is the time to switch off and have that time away from playing? To have that family time which is a deep human need? At some point mentally, if not physically, it will take its toll.

None of us want to see players striking, but players need to be listened to. What do they need to do to make change happen?
