Chelsea 2-1 West Ham - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Monday's Premier League game between Chelsea and West Ham.

Here are some of your comments:

Chelsea fans:

Andrew: Unconvincing. It took Jarrod Bowen's goal to wake Chelsea up. More Chelsea energy in the second half but not much penetration and too many lateral passes. And who would want to buy wantaway Christopher Nkunku after that anonymous cameo? West Ham were unlucky.

Richard: Scraping victory from a deflection is better than another ropey draw. Too many players are not performing to potential - Noni Madueke, Levi Colwill and Enzo Fernandez among them. Why should Nicolas Jackson be an automatic starter after failing to score for so many games? Still, the team deserves credit for the comeback and three points lifts Chelsea back into the top four.

Gary: Good to see a fighting spirit from the Blues - it is not easy to come back from 1-0 down. We remain a work in progress with some weaknesses still evident.

Hector: Same old, same old... Enzo Maresca's stubbornness and dogmatic tactics continue to stifle the natural ability of this young, talented team. The result of his tactics means the players don't know whether to stick or twist, and it shows in their hesitant, no-confidence displays in the past seven games. The number of sideways and backwards passes brought back memories of Thomas Tuchel's pragmatic football. Interestingly, the more Maresca imposes his philosophy, the less the team perform.

West Ham fans:

Kevin: Really good performance from a makeshift team. Lost to a deflected own goal and a missed foul on Bowen. The better team lost.

Harry: Our display was actually very impressive considering we don't have our best players fit right now. Defensively we were brilliant. The first goal shouldn't have stood and that was the only time they really tested our keeper for the whole game - and the second goal was an unlucky deflection. When we have Evan Ferguson, Mohammed Kudus, Crysencio Summerville, Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, James Ward-Prowse and Carlos Soler starting we will be unstoppable. Graham Potter will get us back in Europe next season - 100%. Maybe even this year.

Peter: Very poor refereeing and a dubious VAR call. Referee needs to be much stronger. Moises Caicedo should have been booked on four occasions in the first half. Much more disciplined performance under Potter that fully deserved at least a point from the game. Robbed at Chelsea again!

Ian: Much better and really seeing an improvement under Potter. Clear foul on Bowen for first goal and deflection for second, so a bit unlucky with the result. If Kudus learned to pass occasionally when in the box we might have got an equaliser. With several regular first-team players still out, Bowen made a massive difference and much more positive about the rest of the season now Julen Lopetegui has left. Onwards and upwards!
