Chelsea have had an impressive few weeks, but the defeat against West Ham in the EFL Cup has brought expectations back down to earth…
All things considered, the Blues looked poor. They were expected to win, but an early goal from the Hammers left Conte’s men rattled – and they never really looked like winning the game.
A last minute goal from Gary Cahill spared Chelsea’s blushes somewhat, but it has not hidden the Chelsea players from the ire of the Blues fans on Twitter.
As expected, the Chelsea fans online are delighted when the Blues win – but absolutely mortified when they lose, and this fixture was no different.
This game was seemingly difficult to take, given that so many players performed poorly – giving Antonio Conte little difficulty in shifting them all back to the bench for the Southampton clash this weekend.
With that said, here are 7 of the best Chelsea reactions to their defeat against West Ham…
Every single player who had something to prove today failed. Terry, Chalobah, Aina, Oscar, Michy were all poor. #CFC #WHUCHE

Poor performance by some, looks like 3-4-3 isn't the fit for everyone. Need squad players who fit the new system #CFC #EFLCup

I love and appreciate captain Terry, for all he's done for the club, but he's no more a starter in the new 3-4-3 formation. Reality. #CFC

Terrible positioning, but even worse closing down the ball. #CFC
