Unflinching Patrick Vieira has gone public over his Odsonne Edouard concerns before telling the Crystal Palace striker I want more from you.

Vieira has plumped for imposing Mateta despite no goals in over 600 minutes as he hinted Edouard needed to match his team-mate's work ethic. He added: “It’s what we needed at the moment. JP’s work ethic, with the way the team is defending from the front, allows us to be more solid, especially at the back. He brings us physicality and energy. His work out of possession has been fantastic for the team.”
“It’s just about confidence. Of course, when strikers don’t score, they start to doubt themselves, but the message has been clear to him (Mateta) and the strikers – there is no doubt in my mind about the quality of the players that we have. Any other day, of course, with a little bit of luck, he scores those goals.
“It’s important that he keeps working and practising in training to allow him to rebuild this kind of belief. I’m
