Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira isn't concerned over Wilfried Zaha quiet start to the season.

For the 0-0 draw with Brentford, there were several occasions where the Ivory Coast international let his frustration be known, but he was defended by his manager.

Eagles boss Patrick Vieira said: “Wilf had a good game, like the rest of the players. It is true at times we didn't find him and maybe we didn't give him the ball early enough to create the one v one because this is one of his strengths.

“Maybe he didn't have the support around to link the game and that was a frustration from his side, but this is something he has to get used to.

“Since he played in the Premier League, he has been really looked at (by defenders) because of his talent.

“Now Wilf has to know how he can get out of a difficult situation on the field but the team will help him perform at the level we know he can do."
