Closed West Ham 0-1 Chelsea

[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."

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 2,509]

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 18,918]

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.

Jesus MAN SHITTY have an easy run in

Hardly any threats

Utd and Spurs will bottle it

Burnley away next saturday maybe?

United and Tottenham are both aiming for top 4 so they will definitely be up for it. Also Southampton, West Brom and Crystal Palace are all tricky games. There's also the fact that City have been terrible at home this season.

I thought Oscar did well ... don't kill me

It was like Liverpool away in the cup. He's a player who desperately needs to be rotated more. He's 31 now, not a kid anymore but seemingly starts every game.

What does Hazard's contribution in the match have anything to do with that specific moment? And if anything, a strong performance should give you the confidence to put that in. I thought Hazard was going to score tbh.

For me, a player should always shoot in such a situation. But I don't care since I'm already over it.

[AndersonBLUE 819]

see, i told you would play out their skin. fuck them, 3 points. next

[edetarod 2,155]

shocking stat: last time one of our strikers scored was against city, more than a month ago

but whatever, massive win today

It matters because if it was 0-0 and Hazard was having a poor game and didn't shoot then, it would have meant more. But reading some comments here, it's like Hazard lost us the game. Unreal.

three points more, one match less

1. We played with fire but have shown a mature mindset.

2. Courtois is the fucking master.

3. Zouma needed minutes to have experience and perhaps put him in midfield can be a good way for Zouma have the expertise to consolidate our starting eleven with Cahill and John Terry © covering her back

4. In this type of games is where trophies are won. A perfect team play.

5. I think today was a perfect official training for the match against PSG. Matic sure Zouma and formed our starting eleven against PSG, and probably also Ramires. The aim is to provoke despair and frustration in PSG.

6. "My Ramires is back".

7. What worries me more is Diego Costa. I see Diego with an attitude of passivity, without ambition. Hopefully he can chain several parties making goal to regain his usual motivation.

8. This team knows how to suffer, and this is important to be champions again.

9. I love the strategic capacity of Jose. Play football is also master the strategy not only cheap philosophy. The strategist one.

three points more, one match less

Final by Final

Great day.
