Glasner off to check messages for Johnson updates after Palace draw with FulhamShareBrennan Johnson is on the cusp of joining Crystal Palace from Tottenham, though Oliver Glasner is awaiting further updates.Oliver Glasner said he will check his messages for an update on Brennan Johnson's potential move to Crystal Palace following the 1-1 draw with Fulham at Selhurst Park.It was reported before the game that Wales forward Johnson had agreed to make the switch from Tottenham for a fee said to be in the region of £35m.Eagles boss Glasner was tied up with the game, though, as Jean-Philippe Mateta's header was cancelled out by Tom Cairney's excellent strike 10 minutes from time.Asked about Johnson by Sky Sports after the game, Glasner said: "In the last three or four hours I was focused on this game, I will have to look at my phone."Maybe I got a message but I don't know. If this is true, somebody will let me know."Palace ended a run of three straight Premier League defeats by clinging on for a draw against a Fulham side who missed gilt-edge chances from Timothy Castagne and ex-Eagles defender Joachim Andersen in injury time.A lot of Fulham's pressure did come late on, but they finished the match with more shots (17 to 11), more shots on target (five to two), and a higher xG of 1.91 to 1.59.Raul Jimenez also saw a header rebound off the post just before the hour, and Glasner conceded Palace were holding on somewhat in the closing exchanges."It's not surprising for me, we are a little bit in survival mode," he added. "As long as we are fresh it's okay how we play, but when the pressure increased we couldn't release ourselves and it was a question of time to concede the equaliser."Now we have three more games in the next nine days. I don't expect any players coming back. It's for us to stick together and make the best of it and get the most points. It's important after three defeats to get this point at home, to break the downwards spiral."Credit to the players for their effort, I could see they wanted more but couldn't. We had to protect them, that's why it was a good point today."Fulham boss Marco Silva had no doubt that his side should have been heading home with all three points."Definitely (we deserved to win)," he told BBC Match of the Day. "I believe we did everything to win the game and we deserved it, the chances we created and [the way we] reacted second half after being behind was very good."First half, before they scored, we were in control and doing well, and the reaction with Tom Cairney on the pitch was very good."The players reacted in the way they should, I am very pleased for them, but we should have won three points."Glasner off to check messages for Johnson updates after Palace draw with FulhamBrennan Johnson is on the cusp of joining Crystal Palace from Tottenham, though Oliver Glasner is awaiting further updates.Oliver Glasner said he will check his messages for an update on Brennan Johnson's potential move to Crystal Palace following the 1-1 draw with Fulham at Selhurst Park.It was reported before the game that Wales forward Johnson had agreed to make the switch from Tottenham for a fee said to be in the region of £35m.Eagles boss Glasner was tied up with the game, though, as Jean-Philippe Mateta's header was cancelled out by Tom Cairney's excellent strike 10 minutes from time.Asked about Johnson by Sky Sports after the game, Glasner said: "In the last three or four hours I was focused on this game, I will have to look at my phone."Maybe I got a message but I don't know.
