Oliver Glasner was content with Ben Chilwell’s Crystal Palace debut in Monday night’s FA Cup fourth round victory over League Two Doncaster.
The Chlesea loanee was introduced at left wing-back immediately after half time, replacing Palace stalwart Tyrick Mitchell.
Against Doncaster, Chilwell doubled his time on the pitch this season, making his first appearance since playing 45 minutes in Chelsea's 5-0 EFL Cup victory over Barrow in September.
Despite praising the 28-year-old, Eagles boss Glasner is aiming to enhance Chilwell's defensive awareness.
“It was important to give him his debut," Glasner insisted. "Now we have 45 minutes of video to show him because I could see some habits we do differently.
“He needs this game time, he has been training with us for just one week. Tyrick did well, there was no reason [he was subbed], but we wanted to give Ben some minutes and some situations.
“He was a little bit too passive defending, and they could pass in behind. This is what we are doing differently, but we could see that he is comfortable in possession, in passing.
"He is a little more attacking than Tyrick, but this is what we were looking for, so it was a positive debut.
“Ben brings quality, experience, it’s important to integrate him into the way we are playing.
"Our style of play is maybe a bit more aggressive than he is used to, especially out of possession.
"Our wing-backs have to do a lot, but he will get used to it because he understands the game very well.”
