Pardew: Palace attackers better than they think they are

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is demanding more from his attacking players after victory over Burnley.

Pardew is convinced by the quality of his attack - if not their self belief.

"You need to do more in this league than to just defend and be disciplined," said Pardew. "We have a group of centre backs who are good talkers and organisers but the problem had been getting up the pitch and breaking down the opposition.

"If you don't get teams on the back foot, they will grow in confidence and grind you down. The (group of forwards) are better than they think they are. I keep trying to tell them."
