Zaha ‘thinking more’ at Palace this season

Wilfried Zaha insists his game has vastly improved this season because he is thinking more on the pitch instead of relying on his natural game.

The winger was highly thought of when he broke through at Selhurst Park and his hot form in the Championship earned him a move to Manchester United.

But he failed to establish himself at Old Trafford and subsequently moved back to South London, where his form has not quiet reached its previous heights.

However, Zaha has become a key figure for manager Alan Pardew this season and the winger says his final delivery has become much better.

“I’m not rushing things as much this season, I’m trying to go for better quality over quantity, so when I’m crossing it in I’m trying to pick someone out instead of just whacking it in there hoping for the best,” he said.

“I think that’s what’s changed, I’m slowing down and trying to pick out people.”
