Palace began life after Eze. They know they must bring bodies in before the deadline on September 1, as much to replace his lost quality as to compete across multiple fronts in this maiden season in Europe. Oliver Glasner knows that as well as anyone — and having to promote Justin Devenny to his starting line-up and name academy players Kaden Rodney and Rio Cardines only served to highlight it. Forest’s bench, by stark contrast, featured Douglas Luiz, Omari Hutchinson and James McAtee.
