Jason Puncheon: 'Alan Pardew has given us belief'

Crystal Palace winger Jason Puncheon says manager Alan Pardew has "improved the belief in individuals" since he arrived in January.

Crystal Palace winger Jason Puncheon has praised Alan Pardew for breathing confidence into the players since he became manager.

Pardew replaced Neil Warnock in January and has lifted the Eagles clear of relegation trouble to just outside of the top half of the table.

Puncheon told Sky Sports News: "I think he has just improved the belief in individuals, getting the most of out of people. You see Wilfried [Zaha] - he's up and down the pitch, getting back.

"[Yannick Bolasie] is doing really well, and somebody like Glenn [Murray], he didn't have an opportunity at the start of the season but he's come in and he's done well.

"We work on a lot of the things we do in the game, in training. He takes away all the attackers and they go and do separate things to the defenders, and it is working."

Palace sit 12th in the table and face Chelsea next week.
