    Brighton 0-0 West Ham

    James Ward-Prowse (feels strange writing that not in a Southampton game) swings in a free-kick but some fella in there is offside so Brighton get a free out.

    We've seen Everton be good, bad, indifferent in the Premier League, but we have never seen them like this before.

    The fact that they have lost their first three games without scoring, the performance they put in away to Villa last week, and now they are losing at home to Wolves who have their own struggles as well.

    It's not just those three games, it is the previous two years.

    The feeling around the place isn't going to be positive because at what point do you give up hope?

    Brighton 0-0 West Ham

    First chance of the game lands to West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta. A long throw-in is flicked onto the Brazilian but he lashes a shot over the bar.

    You could say Forest got off to almost too perfect a start but I'd rather just be scoring anyway.

    They forced Man Utd to play in a different way, got two goals themselves, had chances to get more. Awoniyi was a good ball carrier up top for them.

    In fairness they gave a good account of themselves today.

    Man Utd were made to step up by their fans today. 75,000 crowd at home to a struggling side, they were forced to fight back.

    If that had been against a side with a better away record than Forest, who are more clinical up front, then things could have been different.

  8. 'We are working on transfers'published at 17:29 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    FT Brentford 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace

    Palace boss Roy Hodgson, speaking to BBC Match Of The Day: "I thought in the first half we didn't acquit ourselves as well as we could do. We didn't concede many goal chances but they had the better of the play. For large parts of the second half we were in control and got back into it.

    "As for our goal. It is something I like to say we work on, but we don't! In the end we were worth a point and probably in the second half shaded it."

    On making signings before the window closes: "We are working on it. We need some more people in, some more bodies that we can use. The club has always got players in the past and transfers must be a nightmare for people who have to pull it off. I'd much rather coach the team than deal with transfers."

  9. 'We're capable of great things'published at 17:28 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    FT: Man Utd 3-2 Nottm Forest

    Manchester United

    Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, speaking to Match of the Day: "We showed great character. We didn’t start the way we wanted but we came back. Overall the performance was really good. We stayed patient, knew how to control the ball and that was important to get the three points.

    "I know what this team is capable of. We know inside the dressing room that we’re capable of doing great things. We know we have to be more consistent.

    "There’s always pressure to score a penalty. It’s about you doing the right thing. I studied these kind of situations a lot and I’m ready if I need to step up, but we have other players who can step up.

    "It was important. It’s never easy to come from a game like we did against Tottenham. We had a pretty good game but we didn’t pick up any points. We created a lot of chances. It wasn’t a great performance, but today we showed the team we are and what we’re capable of doing.”

    West Ham United

    West Ham manager David Moyes: "Brighton have always been a hard team for us to beat but we took a lot of confidence from last week and hopefully we can put on a show.

    "This team have scored four goals in each game so we will have to defend well and take our chances."

    At 18 years old, to be getting the coaching he is getting at one of the most progressive clubs in English football, think of how much his ability will skyrocket.

    Even the fact he is talking about aiming to playing as a nine and a ten at times, some people his age are just looking at their A-Level results, but he is already on that second stage of development as a top striker.

    As an Ireland fan I don't want to say our hopes of achieving anything in the next decade or 15 years are reliant on Evan Ferguson... but our hopes of achieving anything in the next decade or 15 years are reliant on Evan Ferguson.

    Evan Ferguson is an oustanding talent. Shown plenty of promise but he's got a long way to go.

    Danny Welbeck is a good role model for him at Brighton, a good player to go up against for that starting role.

    The environment is perfect for him, he just needs to keep improving, but the ability is definitely there.

    In front of goal he is calm and can score all kinds of goal too.

    Brighton play with authority now. The manager demands them to press high and go after the opposition.

    Everywhere you look in that side there is fantastic talent, Mitoma, Enciso, Ferguson - Fantastic talent that everyone else wants.

    They've sold almost £400m worth of talent in the last few seasons but they are top of the table right now [before today's games].

    United’s 3-2 win is much like Arsenal’s over Bournemouth last season. Yes, it’s a feel-good comeback win, but clubs that go 2-0 down at home to bottom-half sides don’t go on to win titles.

    Let's not forget that the Dyche team doesn't score many goals, so if you are an Everton fan and expecting a lot of goals every game I'm sorry.

    FT: Arsenal 2-2 Fulham

    To concede from a corner when Fulham were down to 10 men, Palhinha was in acres of space in the box, no-one near him, and he gets the equaliser.

    Performances like this at home towards the end of last season were what stopped Arsenal going on to win the title.

    A disappointment for them today, and they have to learn from it.

    Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure: "It's very difficult to take. I think we were the better team, but as we know, we need to be clinical. We need to score that goal. We need to be more clinical. Wolves were not in the best shape today. We need to be more aggressive around the box."

    Jose Sa's good save to deny him: "It was. I think I need to be more clinical as well, I should have scored. Everyone on the team needs to take responsibility to score and help the team more."

    Booing at end: "The supporters come each week to support us and we need to give something back. At the moment, we don't. We need to take responsibility. At the moment, the team is fighting. We need more from each other."

    On new signings: "The club is working on it. We need more players, more competition within the team. More players will help us."

  20. 'We have important players out'published at 17:18 British Summer Time 26 August 2023

    FT: Bournemouth 0-2 Tottenham

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola spoke to BBC Sport: "I think we started the game quite well and until 2-0, we were level in a very tough game. They were protecting the ball well, turning and winning duals in the middle. In our best moment of the game was before 2-0 and probably the worst part of the game was after this."

    Chances before half-time: "The end of the first half and the beginning of the second, we had our best chances. The tie and the game changed completely after the second goal. Some subs helped us keep the press much easier."

    Unavailable players: "We have very important players out. We knew they would be out for some games, especially the ones in the middle, but we have to keep competing. The competition doesn't wait for anyone and we have to try to step up."
