Chelsea's away fans are chanting "attack, attack, attack." Josh Acheampong stings the goalies palms with an edge of the box shot moments later.

That relationship between the fans and clubs seems damaged and a new manager in Liam Rosenior hasn't changed the feeling in the immediate term.

The whole Chelsea approach under Rosenior is very similar to how Enzo Maresca's team played before him.

Suddenly, Josh Acheampong pulls the trigger from outside the box.

It's a solid save by Will Mannion and Chelsea have another corner.

Tyrone: Maybe Chelsea fans if you stopped hating the manager before their first game you might actually find one you like.

I get what Chelsea are trying to do here.

Sharp, short passing.

But they need to have something to show for all their dominance.

Right now, they're struggling to breakdown Charlton's defence.

Andrey Santos is made to look very average by Sonny Carey before he is unceremoniously hauled down by Tosin Adarabioyo.

Now Charlton's Greg Docherty has booked booked for a foul.

This is turning into a proper London dust-up.

Alejandro Garnacho has touched the ball seven times.

But each time he does boos ring out.

I'm guessing they're from Charlton fans?

Chelsea's possession stats keep on rising.

It's now up to 85.9%.

But it's still goalless and their latest attempt shows why.

Tosin Adarabioyo goes for glory from distance - but instead finds Row Z.

Martin: Chelsea play every three days for the rest of the month. I'd rather rotate in this game than in the league.

Harry: 20 minutes into Rosenior's first game and people are already finding criticisms. Must be miserable being a Chelsea fan.

The Valley really is an outstanding ground when it's packed to the rafters.

Peter: If you want to win your first game, name a strong side, nail the game in the first half and then bring the kids on after HT. He could learn a few things from the maestro Guardiola.

Jamie Gittens looks confident tonight, every time he gets the ball.

He's on fire at the start of this game.

A busy 20 opening 20 minutes for Jamie Gittens who is finding space down the right.

One attempt on target, 12 touches, nine passes.

It's all Chelsea - now 82% possession.

Another chance as Andrey Santos gets his shot away from the edge of the box and Jorrel Hato sticks out a leg in the hope of deflecting it into the net but fails to make contact.

Chelsea are spraying it around with confidence and another save by Will Mannion, this time to deny Jamie Gittens.

Chelsea are building up a head of steam.

John: Rosenior's opening statement at his day one press conference was to win the first game and build momentum. He then names a 2nd string starting 11. New manager, same old mistakes.

Play resumes with Chelsea on the attack and it ends with a save by Will Mannion to keep out Jorrel Hato's header.

A reminder that the tie has been poised because of a medical situation in the crowd.

The players initially went over to their respective benches but the players are now back on the pitch and passing the ball amongst themselves.

The game has been stopped because of a medical situation in the crowd.

The first 10 minutes of Liam Rosenior's reign sees Chelsea enjoy 78.5% possession. One attempt on target. 90-18 in terms of passes.
