Is there a reason West Ham aren’t like rabid animals around Chelsea players like they were v us?
No reason because they weren't. They played similarly to how they are today, numbers behind the ball, trying to break and close spaces to break down attacks. We were undone by set pieces and stepping out a yard too slow when they looked to hit us on the counter, Chelsea look VERY vulnerable here falling for similar tricks on the break.
The thing is Chelsea set up with a completely different defensive shape and the 3 CBs gives West Ham something to think about when they look to counter
