After a prolonged period of disjointed performances, Chelsea are finally showing signs of coherence. While it's not yet enough to instill full confidence, Mauricio Pochettino can now make a compelling argument for his continued tenure beyond the current season.

As always, any talk of a resurgence must be tempered by the numerous setbacks experienced throughout this peculiar campaign.

However, it's undeniable that Pochettino has overseen a notable improvement, evidenced by victories over Tottenham and a resounding triumph over another London rival. With their fourth win in seven league games, Chelsea demonstrated excellence without ambiguity, and it was clear this wasn't solely due to one individual's efforts.

Unlike previous highs this season, Cole Palmer wasn't the lone catalyst for their success. While his performance was outstanding, extending beyond his latest goal – the 21st in his remarkable campaign, accompanied by nine assists – he had support. The burden was shared, and the team's quality shone brightly. Despite a recent 5-0 thrashing by Arsenal, Chelsea displayed a cohesive performance, with Conor Gallagher particularly impressive. His contributions should be valued beyond mere financial considerations; he exemplifies class and indispensability, excelling in both ball recovery and possession retention. His well-taken goal underscored his significance. Additionally, Noni Madueke delivered one of his finest performances of the season, dominating the right flank and contributing to Chelsea's offensive prowess with a goal and an unselfish assist. Nicholas Jackson, echoing his club's season trajectory, impressed with two goals, further fueling Chelsea's push for European qualification.

However, it's crucial to contextualize this victory, considering the abysmal performance of David Moyes' West Ham side at Stamford Bridge. They were lackluster and uninspired, failing to reflect the progress Moyes had brought to the club. His tenure deserved a more dignified conclusion, especially if these are indeed his final weeks in charge.

West Ham's lack of fight was evident from the start, allowing Chelsea to dominate possession and dictate the game's tempo. Their midfield was particularly vulnerable, easily overrun by Chelsea's relentless pressure. Despite their commendable showing against Liverpool, West Ham failed to show resilience or character, leaving Moyes disappointed and questioning the team's mentality.

Chelsea capitalized on West Ham's shortcomings, exploiting defensive lapses and converting chances with clinical efficiency. The first goal, though fortuitous, set the tone for Chelsea's dominance, with subsequent goals highlighting West Ham's defensive fragility. Moyes could only watch in frustration as his team succumbed to Chelsea's onslaught, with defensive errors compounding their misery.

In the end, Chelsea's superiority was evident, leaving Moyes and West Ham's fans despondent. It's a result that raises questions about West Ham's future under Moyes' leadership and underscores Chelsea's resurgence under Pochettino.
