I’m not sure it’s by design to be honest, they just can’t get near the ball and Chelsea are virtually defending on the halfway line. A couple of minutes ago Chelsea had something like 247 passes to West Ham’s 87, they just can’t get into the game as Chelsea won’t let them.
Yeah it’s started to even up a bit more now which will probably favour Chelsea as they were so far forward the first half hour they couldn’t get in behind West Ham. Now they’ve got a bit of space they should be able to work something.
Turned into a pretty strange game second half, West Ham really sitting deep now and everyone looks knackered. Chelsea’s pace has disappeared so it’s just boring slow football.
4% action in the Chelsea third in the last ten minutes, this is as bad as Brighton v Spurs last night. We’re easily one of the most exciting teams to watch in the this league.
I would say Morata has to be interfering with play. I know he doesn't play the ball but he's eight yards out off a wide free kick, in the middle of the goal.

It's superb but I don't know how many times Klopp has to watch Moreno to realise he's about as capable of defending as Prince Philip would be at running the London Marathon.
Shouldn't even be in a squad like this. Imagine if Robertson got injured and they had to play him for months, goodbye Premier League.
I wouldn’t say his presence interfered with Barkley winning the header instead of the defender, Mignolet saving it how he did or Emerson scoring the follow up. So with the rules as they are then it’s fine.
