    I truly believe that Brentford have been so smart in the past with it's signings and appointments. This summer has completely reversed that. A manager with 0 experience, no replacement for a 50+ goal scoring front three and not a single adjustment in game to try and improve in the 1st half. It's going to be a very long season.

    Crystal Palace love getting into their team shape and if you don't move them around then they're happy with that. Chelsea need to be quick on the ball.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:10 British Summer Time

    Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Moises Caicedo is too skillful for Will Hughes, who resorts to grabbing the shirt of the Chelsea man with a blatant foul. An easy yellow for referee Darren England to show Hughes, and he does.

    Enzo and Gittens both very off it. Santos and Estevao both need come on at HT. Wharton running the show at the moment. Lack of pre-season really showing for us right now…

    No changes at the break from either side, Will.

    Dan Ndoye has been involved in everything for Forest so far this afternoon and he looks to link with Elliot Anderson again but the flag goes up.

    Looks a really shrewd signing for Forest.

    Keith Andrews needs to see a reaction from his team. They have got to try and just win this half now, or certainly not lose it. The first half was far too open, they conceded too much, not just goals and chances but that sense of pride and winning your battles.

    Chelsea's rollout of the new digital ticketing system was riddled with errors on the first day of the Premier League as fans complained that the system simply wasn't working.

    The club have now released a statement which reads: "The club is aware there were some issues with the ticketing system for approximately 30 minutes, between 12.30pm and 1pm, before today’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace.

    "We will do everything we can to ensure this does not happen again. We apologise to supporters who were affected by this and thank them for their patience. The issue was resolved, and all ticketed supporters were admitted to the stadium safely in time for kick-off."

    On Eberechi Eze's disallowed free-kick: "I just feel like VAR is anti goal. They've applied the laws, you've got to give them respect for doing that and finding these little details. We've seen this so many times where people are scuffling. If you apply the rules and the letter of the law, it is the correct decision so even if we don't like it, the rule has been applied properly."

    The biggest thing that stands out for Brentford is that it has been a very naive performance. You are coming away from home, you are fragile in terms of losing players and filling that gap. You are at a venue that was difficult to come to for even the best teams last season and they have been far too open.

    I hate criticising because you want to give a new manager time and if they want to play a new way then you need to let them do that, but the goals they have conceded upon reflection they have been naive.

  19. Acheampong’s auditionpublished at 15:04 British Summer Time

    Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace

    BBC Sport journalist

    Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong is making just his third Premier League start today and has had a solid first half. The academy graduate has completed 47 passes, more than any other player.

    Enzo Maresca spoke this week about just how important the injured Levi Colwill is, because he is usually the central player when Chelsea use a back three in their build-up play.

    The Blues boss is keen to sign another ball-playing defender as a replacement for Colwill but Acheampong could be a homegrown alternative.
