Match Review-Chelsea 0-0 West Ham

A big point for the Hammers, Some would say it was deserved, many would say it wasn't. Chelsea Were more than dominant, they were all over us. They had a huge 72% possession but surprisingly our defence was really good. Chelsea had 39 shots but didn't manage to score. They are the first team since 2003 to take that many shots and not score. The special one was fuming and gave big Sam a lot of stick about 'West Ham's Playing style'.

A lot of our players played out of their skin. Man Of The Match for me was definitely Adrian. He did well to keep a clean sheet with that many shots taken on his goal. He wasn't the only one though, nearly every player on the team blocked a shot at one point, some of them off the line! Chelsea's Samuel Eto'o thought he had scored in the dying embers of the match but it didn't count. Adrian had been awarded a free kick in his box and placed the ball down. Eto'o, not hearing the whistle put the ball in the back of the net. Not a goal of course.

This was not one of the most interesting game ever to grace our television screens but a huge point for the Hammers all the same. A draw against big spenders Chelsea is no easy task and Sam Allardyce's men did well.
