Chelsea vs West Ham: Squeaky 2-1 Win! 🔥 – 67% Possession, More Shots Than Sense
Chelsea Edge Past West Ham: Tactical Masterclass or Just Plain Lucky, Mate?
Blimey, Chelsea, with a frankly ludicrous 67% possession, almost bottled it against West Ham! A squeaky 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge – was it tactical genius or just a bit of jammy good fortune? Are the Blues genuine contenders, or are we just seeing Harry Kane’s trophy cabinet vibes all over again?
The 3 Keys to the Match
- Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law… Except When It Isn’t: Chelsea hogged the ball like they were auditioning for a Pep Guardiola tribute act, but struggled to break down a stubborn West Ham defence. All that possession, and for what? More cutting edge needed, pronto.
- West Ham ‘Parking the Bus’ and Almost Getting Away With It: With a measly 33% possession, West Ham played on the counter like their lives depended on it. Their goal, a textbook smash and grab, nearly silenced Stamford Bridge. Almost pulled off the heist of the century!
- Chelsea’s Late Show – Just About Good Enough: Going behind seemed to finally wake Chelsea up in the second half. The goals eventually came, but it was hardly a walk in the park. You’d expect a bit more swagger from a team chasing Champions League spots.
The Bonkers Stat
Zero offsides for Chelsea! For a team with that much of the ball, it’s frankly baffling. Perfect positional play, or just a lack of risk-taking and runs in behind? You decide.
