# West Ham fans praise Angelo Ogbonna’s defiant tweet

Many [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/22/west-ham-interested-in-rangers-full-back-borna-barisic/) fans have been replying to a post on Twitter from [Angelo Ogbonna](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/14/angelo-ogbonna-praises-said-benrahma-creativity/) as he reflected on Monday night’s defeat at Chelsea.

The Hammers were well in the contest until [two quickfire Tammy Abraham](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/december/22-december/highlights-chelsea-3-0-west-ham-united) strikes in the final 15 minutes rounded off a 3-0 win for the Blues. The result left David Moyes’ side in [10th position](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) at Christmas after they had hoped to fire their way back into the top six with a victory at Stamford Bridge.

Nevertheless, the opening weeks of the 2020/21 campaign have been [largely positive](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/visualising-west-hams-impressive-start-to-the-season), and the Irons faithful can be confident going into the festive fixtures and the turn of the year.

The 32-year-old centre-half has been [among the best players](https://www.sofascore.com/player/angelo-ogbonna/21164) to pull on the famous claret and blue this season, enjoying a new lease of life at the heart of a defensive back three for much of the campaign. He maintained his record of starting every league game in 2020/21 on Monday night.

After the match, he sent out a defiant message on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/OgbonnaOfficial/status/1341167513204305924), saying: “Not a bad performance overall. They take the points. We keep going Irons.”

That call went down very well with these West Ham supporters on the social media platform:
