Minute-by-minute report: Can Brentford get off to a good start or will Palace continue the fine form of last season’s run-in? Join Daniel Harris to find out
A ball into the box that Kamada holds up, Mateta rushing a snap-shot wife from the edge. That was very Brentfordy from Palace.Poor delivery from the corner, which goes past the far post and behind, Collins hoping for a penalty after finding himself unable to make contact on the stretch.Lovely from Schade, who attacks the space in behind Richards before dipping inside, hammering a low shot that flies only just wide.
I know what you mean, but I really like the way he sets Palace up. It suits his best players and you can see they know what they’re doing.Eze drills low and hard, the ball whizzing past the far post, just. Perhaps Flekken has it covered, but that definitely doesn’t mean he saves it.I wonder if Eze is one of those players who hits a level and just starts doing bits every week, because he’s effortlessly controlling this game.
It just occurred to me that in the 45 years I’ve lived in London, I’ve never heard anyone say “I’m from Brentford” or “Just off to Brentford”. Brentford, on the other hand, will look to clutter central areas and have Schade and Mbuemo target the space behind the wing-backs and to the sides of the centre-backs, Roerslev and Ajer getting high and wide in an effort to serve Wissa with crosses. They’ll probably bypass midfield, while Palace look to play through it.
Behind him, Daichi Kamada takes Olise’s place – Sarr is on the bench – while Guehi takes his left-centre-back spot despite Newcastle’s efforts to sign him.it’s very easy to see why players love him. And to look at his XI, he goes four at the back today – against the better sides,often go with three – and Toney aside, the lineup is as expected. Carvalho is, I think, a really good signing, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets on; Frank said we should see him later in the game.
