"
Palace, who gave a debut off the bench to new signing Axel Disasi, are now without a win in nine Premier League games stretching back to last season. Against Manchester City they threatened in spells but even after pulling one goal back they conceded soon after. This was Pierre Sage's first taste of the night-game atmosphere at Selhurst Park and while the new Palace boss saw moments of positivity from his side, the Frenchman knows the next few days could be critical to Palace's season as Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline nears.
