It is like running into a brick wall, right now, playing this Chelsea team. A beautifully constructed brick wall, obviously. Not one slung up by a couple of navvies looking to take an early cut over Christmas. This is a wall of great precision and craftsmanship, of sound foundations and excellent structure. West Ham came here in good form, with half an eye on an upset, and bounced straight off Chelsea. They hit a post through Morgan Amalfitano in the 87th minute, but barely threatened before that. Leaders Chelsea recorded their third straight 2-0 Premier League victory on Boxing Day against London rivals West Ham
