What cracks? We’re unbeaten under LR. The crack was sacked a month ago.

I know their fans mocked us for celebrating a 1-1 "win" but are we now not calling a 2-3 result at home a loss?

Missed this one due to travel and will have to watch the replay. The Uber driver this morning had a Chelsea crest hanging from his rear view mirror so we happily chatted about the squad the whole ride. His brother is a West Ham supporter so this match was obviously one of great importance for him, hope he’s enjoying the victory and engaging in some friendly sibling banter in the afterglow.

The biggest thing is does Liam learn that these big rotations are detrimental. Has he learned Garnacho and Badiashile are cancer to this team. Maresca never learned these lessons. Hopefully Liam does or he will only last 6 months

Indeed ….. you put your strongest team out for the Prem …..save the rotation for the cups, it must be lesson 1 in the coaches manual, you don’t need to be paid millions to know that.

Football. Bonkers.

Getting a 3-2 against West Ham and it might end up being more of a shot in the arm than the 5-1 earlier in the season.

As horrendous as we were for large parts of that game the turn around and result looks like it really bonded the team.

But, Badiashile, Garnacho, Neto, Delap and Gusto. A rogues gallery of horrendous performances. Gittens wasn't much better tbh.

Im not talking about the manager. Im talking about how the club is being run. Absolutely no complaints with the manager at all. I actually think hes doing well. I just hope he gets left to pick the team without any interference from others within the club. I was actually keen on him getting a chance to prove the doubters wrong.

What’s the point of Delap, ok he got in the way a bit for the second 🙄

For a big lump he doesn’t even get his head on it!

Absolutely bang on. In fact I thought the oaf was going to go for the ball from Pedro and get in Enzo's way for the third

Make up Palmer doing something and hoping the ref was sending off the Chelsea number 20. Waffling random none sense in the hope he could see a Chelsea player doing something wrong.

You misheard he thought the ref said the Chelsea number 20

The worst first half I’ve watched in many years. Soooo bad! That second half was better, much more urgency and we were lucky West Ham were not that good. It’s not surprising giving that sh*t line up LR came up with in the first half. Why that urge to rotate so heavily every game? Why not play your best players and rotate one a game? I don’t know where to start but I think that there are two problems , one with the starting 11 picked up and second. the game plan. LR is following much of yhe Maresca book with his player choices and slow tempo play.

What’s that site everyone uses for player ratings?

Surely Garnacho, Neto, Gittens, Gusto, Badiashille & Delap are all on negatives or at least sub 3’s?!

Insane result when over half the side seemed to be seriously attempting to sabotage us with their performances

As I wrote at half-time, it was a match we could recover and even win, but not on tactical merit.

And so it was.

I don't give Rosenior any particular responsibilities but neither do I give any particular merits.

IMHO, luckily for us, we have some outstanding footballers who can change games.

PS It won't interest anyone but Sampdoria today also won in a similar match with a goal in the 90°

In terms of team bonding, I honestly don't think this result has any positive (negative) bearing going forward.

Ok we came back at home against a relegation team. Away from home or against a mid table side, with the rotational changes made will make this task even harder.

Because we're Chelsea, as fans we're still hoping for that 5, 10 game win streak to appear only for to get the reality check with dropped points and inconsistency.

We're just like Newcastle and Villa (on a normal season).
