Zaha to buck his ideas up after withdrawing him at
half-time in the defeat to Tottenham.
Crystal Palace coach Alan Pardew revealed his frustration at
Wilfried Zaha's inability to display his talent on a consistent
basis.
Pardew withdrew Zaha at half-time in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to
Tottenham after an ineffectual display.
The twice-capped England international returned to Selhurst
Park on a permanent basis last February after a transfer to
Manchester United failed to work out.
And with the 22-year-old failing to complete the 90 minutes for
the fifth time in six Premier League starts this season at White
Hart Lane, Pardew has called on him to knuckle down.
"I didn't think Wilfried played well so I took him off," Pardew said
in his post-match press conference.
"The issue with Wilfried is that he's a fabulous footballer, and
I'm trying to get him to understand that every game is very
important.
"It's about concentration and having that same desire to defend,
to attack, for movement and everything that a top player
produces, and unfortunately today [Sunday] I don't think he did
that.
"He had 45 minutes to show me that he was up to speed in
those areas and he wasn't, so therefore he needs to take that as
a lesson.
"He's not the first player who didn't do their job."
