Cucurella is like a little spaniel. I feel the need to pat his head.

Good overall performance after a dodgy start

Damage done in the 1st half, the second became a training exercise, a few players feeling the pace at the end

Neto my MoM , closely followed by Caceido

Hoping Palmers injury is minor, the Pikeys didn’t put up much of fight, bigger matches ahead

A weeks rest now …we need it

Hope Cole is fine and onto Fulham now! Enjoy the rest of the evening lads!

Bit surprised that Estevao got MOTM. Although his decision making is poor surely Neto gets the award. Ran throughout. I know that I am greedy but I found that quite an unprofessional performance throughout that second half from us. I know that all athletes do it once the game is won. Preserving themselves and playing containment but I do find it irritating especially when the opposition is laid bare like that. That should have been a Leicester v Southampton level scoreline.

Could you imagine paying your hard earned money to go watch the British F1 grand prix. George Russell gets clear and winning and then just drops it down to third gear and poodles around to the end.

I do get it, but Jesus I wanted them hung out to dry tonight. That had a proper statement written all over it. Just imagine. Stick that up yer chutney locker Carragher you scouse twat.

Scrappy game but a magnificent result!

Onwards

Looks like West Hams bubble has burst after that result.

Well done lads, I did think here we go at the start and worried where the goals would come from without CP but we had Arthur so we was alright😜

Obviously. Rest it on his nose and make him wait before eating it. He’s a good boy.

Can't help it, I really like Jarred Bowen. I feel for him actually tied to West Ham simply because of his father in law. He would be great here and is our type of player as well. With us he'd be one England's biggest stars.

Shaky opening twenty minutes or so, but we settled down and was comfortable in the end. That was as easy a game as we’ll get all season and probably a good one for Palmer to sit out. Even so, our defending wasn’t entirely convincing and better teams will give us more problems. Good to see our forwards making the most of their opportunities. Still feel Colwill is going to be a big miss for us.

When it was 2-1 ...the phone rang...2 hours later..I missed the entire game ☹️ I'll have to find a replay somewhere. Just looking at Potter interview and the tears running down his face. I don't see him hanging around West Ham very long...another couple of games like this and he'll have to go. 2nd worse Manager in West Ham recent history.

Maybe they ran out of white flags....signifying surrender.

Great result after a slow start. Even though he didn’t score I thought Delap had a great game. Held the ball well and brought in others. Disappointed with the rhythm after the substitutions but if it protects certain players then ok.

⭐️ player for me

Teams like West Ham, Spurs and others will never get it. Both suffer hugely from a demand to play a very particular style of football because it’s the Tottenham/West Ham “way”. It’s the reason why both are so sh*te.

Other clubs value winning and silverware more. Thankfully Chelsea fall into the latter category.

Scoring 3 goals from corner against west ham is just an irony.

Good win and much needed after the weekend draw against Palace. West Ham are absolute garbage so it's hard to tell how good we are at the moment.

The away kit was a throwback to the 2003-2005 era. Reminded me of us under prime Mourinho so a touch of nostalgia seeing the lads wear that.

The way West Ham treated Moyes and hounded him out of the club, I think it's karma that they're now crumbling under Potter.

Not good. We've used up our quota for the seaaon.

Suppose you can only beat what's put in front of you but they were bloody woeful.

Doubt we'll get an easier three points this year or next.

What's also ironic is Sanchez, who is Potter's protégé has a howler for us and Hermandsen, Maresca's protégé is culpable for 2 of the goals they conceded

Reading back at some of the comments at the start of the game. Jesus you guys don't half over react. A lot of Maresca outs, look at what we've won over the last few months, how we finished last season, and we play 10mins of bad football and you're calling for the managers head??

I am genuinely surprised at how poor they really are. I am revising my thoughts for relegation candidates. I thought Burnley, Brentford and Wolves would struggle with Sunderland and Leeds as possibilities. But if they do not undergo immediate surgery everywhere West Ham look like fodder to me.
