Good interception by Emerson.

But that hair though...

Still 3 but 9 subs on the bench.

Thanks. That is what had me confused. With that in mind we are unlikely to make any quick subs as we only have 2 available for the rest of the game. Cannot see a tactical one before 60 mins.

He missed so many chances so far. Cursed like nearly every other striler for chelsea.

Well just watch how the play stops, and West Ham can get 10 behind the ball, we have the players to play like Liverpool, the fact we don't and Can't??

We've played like this for years with numerous centre halves. Not sure why this is on Zouma.

Pretty sure Werner's caught the Torres-Morata virus. Are we ever going to have a proper goal scoring striker that can get us 20 goals a season..??

and he’s not even wearing No9

West Ham is a good side but we are just horrible. If we are to chase even the CL spot this level of playing is not enough. Simple passes and support play under pressure is just not on the level you need it to be. 

I really can't see us getting anything from the game. 

We really need a 2nd goal, if West Ham equalise I've got a feeling we will fold.

If anyone should be hooked it’s Werner - his finishing has been criminal of late.

You could make a 10 minute montage of his missed sitters just this season alone, it's embarrassing, there's no excuse.

He’s done alright in the few matches he played central for us. I’d like to see him given a go there for a half. 

It’s not wild speculation at this point to say somehow Chelsea break all but the most rugged strikers 

Started well, then lost control of the game. West Ham are a good team so it shouldnt be a walk in the park. Abraham and Werner for me needs to get better, they are really getting frustrating to watch.

Forgot about the game, turned it on about 25 mins. Apparently that's about the time we stopped playing well and West Ham turned up. Typical.

So it's not the number but the position that is cursed....

Almost as bad as the pink socks!

Everyone talking about how badly we are playing but if we get an early second half goal when west ham are playing better it will suck the air out of them even more then what it would if we deserved  it

And if they score in the first 5 minutes, hold on o your seat, i aint being negative, i'm watching the game unfold into a predictable style, we may well hold on, but change something Frank..

He's choking in front of goal now, 100% psychological issue like Morata. Got to stamp that sh*t out before it really sets in.

Agreed. Tonight a win is more important than whether or not we deserve it.

Put Pulisic on LW. Put in Kovacic instead of Jorginho and make Kante the holding midfielder. Just do it Frank.

We’ve got to face facts - Allison is better than Mendy, TAA is better than Dave, Robertson is better than Emerson (and probably Chilwell), their midfield has better fluency and balance whilst their front three are superb. They’re a cut above and our only hope is our lot grow into their roles... or we’ll have to either look at a change at the top or spend even more.

 

Can you miserable f**kers not cope with this sh*t show using alcohol like a grown up?

we're a decent mid-table side

a bit like headless chickens and not very clinical when we do get clean through

defence goes missing every now and again - that's just who we are 

Times like this I miss prime Fabregas

If we don't score in the second half, I don't see us winning this game...

Part from Werner missing a big chance and Kante slipping, we have been the more stable team and we deserved this lead. Sad that Mount can't provide anywhere else but from the corner kick but at least that's working.
