closed West Ham 1-2 Chelsea

[DYC. 7,542]

Games aren't fun to watch anymore but three points. Lack of clean sheets are a bit of a concern.

Moses can't cross yet continues crossing. Doesn't make sense to me. Cesc was a ghost. Diego is frustrating but still stealing a goal here and there.

Kante with one of his better performances of the season. Hazard was fantastic.

How I hope the summer additions will be technically sound and clever in their use of the ball.

Look, West Ham looked really dangerous in the first half, especially before we scored.
After the second goal it was control football.
Those who suggest W. Ham were useless or our performance was not good are exaggerating.

We march on, but just a shame Cahill had to go walkabouts at the death.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Solid, solid, solid.

[Special Juan 27,429]

Nothing positive, shit performance, players under performing and lucky to be top...

Appreciate what you are seeing, this team is delivering massive amounts with a super coach and lots of positives.

Amen.

Im pacing even faster whenever i watch matches now. The perpetual thoughts that anything that can go wrong will go wrong has man bare stressed you know..

Im trying to remember how the hell I survived our title collapse in 13/14, and all throughout that summer. 

Why do we do this to ourselves?

No fun to watch? I think the opener was one of the smoothest and quickest counter attacks I have ever seen. Was worth it all the way. After our 2nd we could have been more focused but I never had the feeling this would ever slip. We might need to improve here or there in the future but all in all we have to acknowledge this is a pretty well rounded side, head and shoulders above the rest in the league. This might not mean much right now BC the quality of the epl is low, the quality of world football in general but we're getting there. This side has enormous potential and the right tweaks will make us a very very special team.

We would have much more to offer going forward with better CF and better LWB right now. There are other concerns, but those are two of the biggest ATM.

Alright you wanted us to go down 3-0 then come back and win 4-3.
Maybe Terry as a late substitute to score the 4th in extra time.

[El P. 1,354]

Kante-Pedro-Hazard counter goal? Hazards' shoulder flick/pass to Kante? Hazards' crazy pass to Costa and his crazy turn? Alonsos' Messiesque slalom through two players? THAT Kantes' crazy fast run to save it from going out? And his overall masterpiece performance?

No fun, I'll give you no fun...

(And yes, Costa was shit, Fabregas average, I know.)

[the wes 7,212]

Some folks on this forum are never happy so what we didn't keep a clean sheet it's all about the 3 points not keeping a clean sheet ffs

[cosmicway 1,323]

With what part of his body did Diego score ?
Was it the knee ?

Overall the game was boring, but as long we get 3 points, who cares.

My worry though is some of the players are underperforming again. Thank God West Ham were crap.

You must have loved us during Mourinhos first time in charge. Or you probably started watching us last year and expected something else. 

How the fuck does anyone find that game boring. The actual fuck.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

I went to my nephews nativity play last Christmas I feigned interest for 90 minutes a bit like Costa tonight.

One counter-attack? A football match lasts 90 min. Earlier in the season I enjoyed the games and expressed it. Now I don't enjoy them very much to put it politely. Not just in terms of excitement but also when it comes genuine quality. It's not the end of the world though. If you truly enjoyed it, I envy you.

I don't know about a special team. I need to see more (and better) over a greater amount of time and see how this teams performs in Europe. We'll see.
