Good job they fucked up the decision then

It should n't have counted.
I have seen many such. Unfortunate decision for the hammers but technically correct.

Happy with the three. Good for Chilly. 

Hate that we're still so shit on corners but rely on them with how conservative we play.

Conor still looks shaky and should probably be dropped. Our midfield is still the weakest link on this team.

That was so soft by Mendy...Reece James didn't do him any favors but he needs to man up because that could have easily still counted. 

Mendy hesitated a lot, just go for the ball, we got a lucky break here

Up to fifth - it does seem as though we are slowly going through the gears - just need to be more ruthless

[Milan 17,859]

Jorginho almost cost us again. It was his mistake again before they hit the post. Him and RLC have no place in midfield, simple as.

with the way we are playing it doesn’t take much for teams to have a go at us.

Good on you Ben Chilwell welcome back.  As someone else mentioned pretty lucky here but feels like the Spurs robbery was righted.  And as Rasheed Wallace famously used to say...

Important 3 pts, let’s hope TT learns something about his lineup from the start today

I so hope Oblak (it is unlikely) runs down his contract and we offer him a mega deal on a free

How is he with his feet? Next goalkeeper should be a Ederson/Allisson level playmaker

[Johnnyeye 7,445]

Cucu, Gallagher, RLC, Mount, Pulisic need to be dropped.

[Mhsc 902]

As much as we are talking about who Tuchel has to drop, he also has to reward the boys that stepped up and did the business to save the game today. Havertz and Chilwell straight into the XI imo.

Mendy could even catch it with his hands. Poor guy was crippled - he needs serious work at the moment and as hesitant as I have been with trying Kepa again, he should start the Champions League game I think

It was n't a goal.
Let me describe a similar situation.
Attacker attempts a cross from somewhere in the midefield. Easy clearance. Ball takes trajectory towards the midfield again and is inches from crossing the line for a throw in (as we saw later in the replays).
At that point some infiringement takes place in the penalty area, a bump rather between two players.
Decision pen.
It does n't matter where the ball is. Only if possession has changed.

Oh was that a shitty game with good luck for Chelsea. Mendy I can't see anymore, I hope they get Oblak at the end of his contract 2023🤩 Pulisic RLC and Jorginho can go right away. Gallagher needs another season loan is still not enough for Chelsea.

Lucky but maybe this makes up for the Spurs game (Although felt they were fortunate to still have Antonio on the pitch to score their goal). Either way we needed that, we looked so devoid of confidence, too many players looking scared to make a mistake and playing safe. About time we came from behind to win a game no matter how we managed to find a way. Have to look at this as a building block and onwards to the Champions League now.
