West Ham United picked up a hugely impressive point at Stamford Bridge, but not all of their players impressed.
It may have been another afternoon that saw West Ham’s survival hopes boosted, but not every player managed to impress the Irons supporters on Twitter with their displays in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday.

And while they did not manage to follow that game up with a win at Stamford Bridge, the Hammers will surely be delighted with the point that saw them extend the gap between themselves and the Saints even further.
It was a tough afternoon for Moyes’ side. Chelsea applied most of the pressure throughout the contest and Marko Arnautovic spent much of the game cutting a lonely figure up front. But Javier Hernandez equalised late on to ensure that it finished level.
It was a tremendous rearguard performance from West Ham with a number of their defensive players doing extremely well to frustrate Chelsea and often limit the home side to efforts from around the edge the box. And when they did break through, Joe Hart was normally able to produce a fantastic stop.
But while many of the players will expect the plaudits to be coming their way, it appears that a large section of the fans were not impressed by Cheikhou Kouyate’s display against the Blues.
Some supporters actually thought the midfielder did really well, but the majority seem to have been left disappointed with his efforts in the middle of the park, with some suggesting that he needs to be dropped or even sold after losing the battle.
