Chelsea 2-2 Brentford - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Brentford and Chelsea.

Here are some of your comments:

Brentford fans

Tim: That Chelsea had to send on the big guns to make an impression shows how effective the Bees had been up until then. It also shows how classy Palmer is - finding time and space at ease. Henderson is the rock in midfield, allowing the ever improving Yarmoliuk more licence to roam and harry the opposition. Lovely to see Kev get his goal, and Fabio likewise - both are confidence players.

David: A very gutsy performance from Brentford. Chelsea brought on a very talented bench, however we kept to our gameplan despite Chelsea's many excellent players. Kevin Schade was my man of the match.

Brian: I sensed a goal was coming when Keith Andrews introduced Fabio Carvalho late on. There was focus and determination in Kevin Schade's eyes as he took the long throw which confirmed this. It seems that the coach dubbed a "rookie" by so many pundits knows exactly what he is doing. Well done, Keith, and his Bees.

R Hipgrave: A good display under a new manager. Considering they have a new team from last season, on this showing, it looks good. Well done, Bees.

Chelsea fans

Richard: Chelsea snatch a draw from the jaws of victory. Often the defence has looked all over the place and Sanchez has saved Chelsea more than a few times this season. When you take the lead with five minutes remaining (thanks, Caicedo) you should be able to see the game out. At least Palmer is back. Gittens' contribution has been negligible thus far and Neto is speedy but too often he lacks an accurate final pass or cross. He should be scoring more goals.

Tawina: Decent start to the season for Chelsea, but that Brentford draw stings. Still unbeaten, which is a plus, but the habit of starting slow is worrying. We've shipped early goals in every league game (two chalked off, but still). That needs fixing fast or players like Yamal will punish us. This display and the season so far? Solid 6/10.

Scott: While people say Chelsea have a huge squad, the Brentford game showed that - outside the top 15 players or so - the quality is not there at Premier League or Champions League level. Our centre-backs and goalkeeper are simply not good enough. There is no way this team wins either of those competitions - a domestic cup and top four maybe.

Richard: Frustrating performance. The starting line-up looked like we had our eyes on Bayern. Why would you ever rest Cucurella - the guy can run forever. At least the changes were made quickly but we still overcommit with a defence that is just not up to it.
