Milivojevic: 'Palace need to be more ruthless'

Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Wolves represented their fourth home fixture this season, and the fourth in which they have failed to score.

In contrast to last season when they were potent on the break, in addition to the lack of a consistent goal-threat they are also short on confidence.

Midfielder Milivojevic was candid about the problem, stating that the club need a more pronounced threat up front.

"As per the last game, we didn't find that last pass in the final third or to finish the action," he told the club website.

"In the second half, okay they scored after 10 minutes. But we tried, we pushed.

"We had two or three good shots from the box that were blocked. We missed the last pass, to cross the ball or shoot to finish the action.

"In many opportunities which we had, we tried to dribble or do something; maybe we didn't find the space and solution very well.

"But it's one more game that we played well, better than our opponents, and we lost. That's for sure the analysis, so we have to prepare ourselves for the next game.

"We just have to continue our work, believe in ourselves. We have the international break to try to get out of this situation and to be better."
