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.

That's weird. I'd say him not shooting after a poor game would be the expected move from a non-striker.

I haven't read the comments but I don't know why you would take such comments seriously. Hazard was the best outfield player on the pitch today and scored the winning goal.

I'm not. But the way some posters are saying Hazard should have scored....Watch the replay and you can see Adrian comes out very quickly. He probably would have scored with a toe-poke but I doubt if he would have with a placed shot. People sometimes forget football is a team game. When your teammate has an open goal, you pass to him.

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.

should also blame Mourinho for this. Branislav looked really tired today and Downing completely destroyed him. He shouuld be given a break. playing nearly every match and he isnt the youngest guy out there anymore.

I think we should have overloaded that side since that's where most of the danger was stemming from. Azpi is better equipped to defend 1v1 but Jose probably thinks both defenders are equally capable of defending for themselves (which I disagree with). It was clear that West Ham had the complete beating of Ivanovic and it made for rather frustrating viewing: Downing skips past Ivanovic, crosses ball into the box, mayhem ensues, Chelsea somehow survive. Repeat.

Stating the obvious but that was a HUGE win against West Ham. Massive 3 points especially after we only played the final on Sunday. Really not sure how did we not concede from all those West Ham onslaughts. Got lucky on several occasions but then again, we had just as many chances to score as well. Just can't believe by our lack of decisiveness in the final third. Almost flipped the table at that late Willian shot when Hazard chose to pass it instead. :doh: Overall, it wasn't pretty but that might have been one of our better showings in 2015. We looked a threat going forward (with the exception of not finishing chances) and actually dug deep to grind out the result.

We just cannot cope defensively against teams that press us. I lost count of the number of crosses and chances they created from our right side. We got the 3 points though and that's all that matters. And how did Willian not score? :lol:

Really? how many times have we lost this season? You'd think we were midtable with the assertion you say that with

Jesus MAN SHITTY have an easy run in

Hardly any threats :(

Utd and Spurs will bottle it

How do they? Spurs are in form, United aren't easy to beat... I'd say our run in is even slightly easier. Old Trafford away is a toughie. Spurs away is a toughie. Southampton and West Ham at home, Crystal Palace and Swansea away aren't exactly easy games either for them.

Their run in is not easy.

How can anyone be negative? We just won the CC a couple of days ago, We got 3 points at a very tough ground against a team that has taken points from some big teams, Won 2/2 without the best Dm in the world, Won 2/2 playing a 20 year old centre back in midfield and we have 5 points clear with a game in hand. Enjoy it! :drunk:

I don't think anybody is being negative..just relieved that we came away with a result

Just a few observations I had on what I would call a workmanlike performance from Chelsea.

1. We got away with a gamble playing Zouma out of position in back to back games. His instincts had him much to deep and we surrendered a lot of space just outside of the 18. Matic is back now so order will be restored.

2. Cesc, when tired is a shambolic defender. On a few occasions late in the game he just let players jog around him with no effort at all to get back in position, it was scary. Matic is back now so order will be restored.

3. It was clear to me that the midfield provided little stability and were often beaten to second balls off of aerials. The guys were tired, Zouma didn't know where to be and Ramires, while putting in a great shift, was all over the place in the midfield. Matic is back now order will be restored.

4. We had nothing on the bench to change the problems we were having, for this I say this is a huge win since they found our weakness and exploited it but never scored. Jose must be breathing a HUGE sigh of relief!

5. Hazard is unplayable. If you don't bring him down he will hurt you.

6. Today was the first time in a long while I felt we were getting the rub of the green from the refereeing decisions, there were a couple that could've went either way and the majority of them went to Chelsea.

7. Ramires had a bossy game, he is the perfect squad player because what he does well will always be an asset at any point in the game. He deserved a goal worked his ass off.

8. Courtois was phenomenal... I don't think world football has seen a team that has two keepers of the calibre of Cech and Thibault.


All in all I thought this win has perfectly set us up for the rest of the season, I'm not gonna say what I actually feel because I don't want to seem as though I'm getting ahead of myself. A bookie already paid out....
