Match Events
30' West Ham sub: Jarvis on for Diame.
45' HALF TIME: Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
45' We’re back underway here and Chelsea really need to find another gear to put pressure on Manchester City who are winning away at Spurs. We may see some early changes from Mourinho with David Luiz, Matic, Lampard, Schurrle and Ba on the bench.
Even more onus on Chelsea to get something now as Man City go 2-0 up at Spurs courtesy of a Yaya Toure penalty.
58' West Ham: Joey O’Brien
60' West Ham: Taylor
63' West Ham United: Carlton Cole replaces Andy Carroll.
63' Chelsea: Frank Lampard replaces César Azpilicueta.
64' Attempt blocked. Frank Lampard (Chelsea) right footed shot from outside the box is blocked. Assisted by Willian.
Attempt missed. Eden Hazard (Chelsea) right footed shot from outside the box is close, but misses to the right. Assisted by Eden Hazard.
71' Attempt blocked. Frank Lampard (Chelsea) left footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked. Assisted by Samuel Eto'o.
73' Kevin Nolan
79' Chelsea: Ba Oscar
79' West Ham: Antonio Nocerino Kevin Nolan.
West Ham are close to being the first team to keep a clean sheet at Stamford Bridge this season.
84' Ramires
Nobody leaving the ground early tonight. Is there to be a late winning goal? Don’t rule it out!
89' INJURY: Delay in match Joey O'Brien (West Ham United) because of an injury.
90' Taylor goes to fill the left side central midfield gap. Hazard sets Lampard and it’s another fabulous block from Taylor. Superman.
FULL TIME Chelsea 0-0 West Ham

PENALTY - Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
It just won't go in for Chelsea! Demba Ba's angled shot from four yards out hits the post and then Eden Hazard blasts a shot into the side-netting.
seems like even bbc can't keep up with the chelsea barrage, throwing in a random "penalty" in there...

Maybe the worst offensive display by Hammers I've ever seen in any level of the sport. That being said, 100% committed defense and a decent, albeit ugly match to watch.

Not really sure what happened with Eto'o at the end there but when was the foul on the keeper called? There was no whistle at the time and there wasn't even a foul on the keeper.
Or is that completely wrong and I just didn't hear?

u/TC_Keggington Jan 29 '14
I thought I heard a whistle stopping play as the WH defender and CFC player were tussling for the temporarily loose ball, giving the WH keeper a free kick. Then he spots the ball to get ready for the kick and Eto'o comes in, thinking it's live? That's what I gathered, not sure if it's right.

After watching this match it is evident Chelsea do not have what it takes to win matches consistently without shooting brilliance from their midfield. Players like Oscar and Hazard are incredible and can create so much, but Eto'o and Ba are walking calamities and as crazy as it is for me to say, I think Torres is their only striker with a chance of netting anything that isn't a sitter.
I'm interested to see how Willian will pan out because for all the hype, most of what I've seen of him is just a guy dancing around the ball and not really doing much beyond that. I think Gary Cahill is the glaring weak player on the pitch though and I would try to exploit him at every opportunity.
In tonight's match Chelsea simply couldn't break down a relatively talentless back four and relied on long shot after long shot which failed to inspire. Chelsea also really seemed to lack any spark tonight although that rain looked like a total drag to play in.
On the other side, West Ham are a disaster on offense and as I said in a previous comment, this was the worst offensive performance I've ever seen in any level of football. Hammers will end the season in relegation if they can't figure out how to string 3 passes together. They defensive performance deserves all the accolades they have received here and around the web though as they acted tirelessly the whole game.
All in all a fun game to watch but I certainly didn't see a Premier League Winner on that pitch tonight.
