Full Time 2-2 Fabregas x2

[Special Juan 27,093]

Not good enough. But well done RLC and Traore coming on and putting up a fight.

 

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Another Draw...

YAY.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Love Cesc's passion. It may be unpopular opinion but I think he should get the armband if Terry leaves.

He's out there playing for the badge, i'll take lesser defending if I get this level out of him every match.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Still one home league win..very very lucky and probably not a penalty but it was given so...

Still poor but there's a break at least :-D and they didn't do the double 

[FabHazard 655]

Fabregas was awesome..showed a lot of passion ..had enough of westham's and  ref's bullshit...turned it around 

[LAM09 6,535]

Cesc was immense. Nothing else worth mentioning in all honesty

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

4 Without a win in a row now...

[the wes 7,212]

Are club is in a mess no one fears Chelsea no more hope  conte can fix that 

[manpe 10,855]

A performance matching this season's standard, nothing new. Fabregas MOTM.

[WNDS 502]

Fabregas was superb, the younger players all did very well for the most part, and Willian gave a textbook Jekyll-and-Hyde performance (awful in the first-half/very good throughout the second). Terry, Ivanovic, and Azpilicueta were merely 'sub-par', whilst the rest of our players (Courtois, Cahill, Mikel, Oscar, and Remy) were varying degrees of poor to terrible. In many ways, it's impressive that we didn't lose given how many of our players underperformed in this one.

Oh, and again: our DM/CM needs sorting out in a BIG way in the summer; the amount of space West Ham were able to find in front of our back-line was unacceptable (even with Fabregas playing very well).

[Chelsea Buzz 487]

You know, I honestly thought we outplayed Hammers all but about 5 minutes in the first half and 5 minutes in the second half. Of course, they scored in each of those 5 minute periods. Courtois, what has happened to you?

Thought we played inspired after the half, bringing on Pedro, Traore and RLC helped this. Could have scored a couple of goals on corner headers that just went high.

Yeah, the draws are getting old, but considering no Costa, 2-2 is not awful. Oscar is awful

Cesc has really come on strong second half of the season. I think he remains on the keep list. I think Pedro has earned a shot next year as well.

The first half of the season, we gave up goals in wild, chaotic scrambles by our back line. We looked as if we had never played together before. I feel half our goals allowed second half has been on Courtois. He should have stopped many of them.

All and all, not a terrible result today. Here is to you Cesc, MotM!!

Come on you Chelsea!! Villa is next.

 

 

[Pizy 17,860]

Will be very, very sad and downright angry if Oscar is atill a Chelsea player next season. Just can't cut it consistently in this league. Both he and the club would benefit greatly from a change.

Will also be hugely detrimental to any kind of challenge next season if Cahill and Ivanovic are anywhere near the first XI. Ivanovic can be a cup player and Cahill our 4 choice CB. Nothing more or we handicap ourselves out of the gate.

I hope to God we sign at least 2 of these powerhouse midfielders we're being linked with because we desperately need them.

When I saw Cesc step up to take the pen instead of Oscar...

thank fuck oscar wasn't on the pitch when the penalty was took oscar would have probably took it 

[Vytis33 1,041]

Surely it had to be Cesc this time either way?  Just glad 8 wasn't putting that ball on the spot.  Confidence in pens restored.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

• The game changed when Traore came on. He should be starting whilst Costa is banned, simple.
• Fabregas is magic.
• A 2-2 draw against the fourth-placed team is not a bad result by any means. 
• Six points from Villa and Swansea away and we'll be fucking laughing lads. 

[bluephoenix 1,125]

we were very lucky to have that penalty. Clearly outside the box.

though its nice to see a draw on the paper but it was nothing short of loss to me.
