Closed West Ham 0-1 Chelsea

[dmode 113]

Good win, but don't know why every team, whether Bradford or City is able to pin us back and launch wave after wave of attacks every game in the last 30 mins. Is that Mou's instruction to just sit back and absorb it ?

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

The goal we scored was really a thing of beauty, actually. A real team goal from back to front.

Hazard,Courtois and Zouma were great everyone else was bad and WTF did we miss Ramires and Willian should score btw 3 points most important BUT we are not playing well last 4-5 matches we are relly bad AND WE NEED TO SELL OSCAR HE IS BAD THE HOLE SEASON.

There's the difference right there between winners and also rans...

If we hadn't won the CoC we'd have lost that game - but the belief is there and we didn't

Fucking West Ham - they will be shit again next week and roll over like a crack whore

Oh well have to expect this - this season - next season with a few additions I want us to crush any belief from these teams

Fucking Leicester are shit - was hoping for a shock result

Still worried about the Utd, Loserpool and Arsenal games - but hoping City drop further points...

Everyone deserves MOTM - the 'team' won

Come on, West Ham haven't rolled over for many. We have such a big advantage thanks to WHU and QPR taking points off City. Yes two clubs that hate us and allegedly roll over for our rivals.

[stroey 2,525]

Pfff...How did we not concede? So happy with the points.

Fortunately Matic is back, we were really shaky today.

The ref was good for us today, another cunt ref would've given Hazard his second yellow.

Haz for me, kicked around the place but kept getting up again...(there's a hit song there i'm sure.....better start writing!!)

Tbo + Rambo had great games also...........shouldn't have been such a nervy at end though!!

[Chelsea Buzz 487]

Jesus MAN SHITTY have an easy run in

Hardly any threats

Utd and Spurs will bottle it

Agreed. They have come through their toughest second half stretch, which is why they have dropped some points.

Honestly, it is all about us now. The most points they can finish with would be 88 if they will them all. They will probably have one or two draws somewhere (MU or Spurs?) so 83-86 point is probably where they finish.

Most we can finish with is 96. We still have Man U and Liverpool at home and Arsenal at Emirates. Probably would take 5 or 6 points out of those possible 9. We just need to take care of our own business from here on out.

Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

These are the type of games which aid a title race, so much more so than Swansea 5-0.

Going to Big Sams manor is never never easy, and we fort. I remember someone at the start of the season saying we could do the 'tika taka' if needed but can also roll our sleeves up and play the Wimbledon way, that will set us up in good stead for years, especially when alot of our rivals have purists who are a slave to 'philosophy'.

"

Jose Mourinho’s conspiracy theories had to go on the back-burner as a controversial Eden Hazard winner earned the Premier League leaders a victory they had to sustain a battering to achieve.

Had West Ham’s Diafra Sakho not failed to convert EIGHT glaring chances, they could have blown the bloody doors off the title race."

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Players should always shoot in such a position. That was a brilliant pass by Cesc and he wasn't put under pressure by a defender. What he did is called passing the ball into the goal. Ozil would often do that at Real.

You might score, you might not score, but just take the shot. It has nothing to do with criticism him. It was just strange to see him pass.

You'll rather Hazard miss when his teammate is in a better position? Hazard could have scored, Willian SHOULD have scored. Really the large portion of the blame is with Willian. Any other placement and it's a goal. I can't really understand why this is even a debatable point considering :

(1) The time of the chance. The game was practically over.

(2) How many chances Hazard created for others.

(3) Hazard's overall performance.

Very fair and balanced analysis of the game.

Funny how in this forum Oscar went from being Messiah into being Marko Marin in 1 year.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Ramires looked like the most dangerous RW we have. But really, we made it way harder on ourselves, should have scored 2 at least in the first half and wrapped it up. Just glad it didn't cost us.

Courtois was amazing and Cahill looks back on form.

Thanks alot to Zouma for playing for the team in the midfield but him being there definitely made a huge difference. Guys were looking twice before passing because they didn't want to pass it to Zouma.

Anyways, good results at the end of the day, can't wait for Matic to get back.

[Reddish-Blue 2,353]

How did West Ham not score? Massive 3 points in the title race

[ZOS 580]

3 points, Matic is back ... it's been a good evening

[Pizy 18,405]

Seriously, I just can't get out of my head how dire Ivanovic was today. I lost count of the number of times his man was sprinting down his side and he was frantically trying and failing to recover. He was nearly at fault for multiple goals and didn't even offer anything in attack to mask a poor defensive performance. He looks like an accident waiting to happen some days.
