PLAYER RATINGS | CHELSEA

By: KCS-content

Add as a preferred source on Google

PETR CECH
Made several impressive saves early on but went walkabout for Napoli’s killer third goal
7/10

BRANISLAV IVANOVIC
Guilty of ball-watching for Cavani’s goal and was hardly seen as an attacking outlet
4/10

DAVID LUIZ
By no means his poorest performance but still at fault for Lavezzi’s second goal
5/10

GARY CAHILL
A real Champions League baptism of fire for the January recruit. Never looked at ease
5/10

JOSE BOSINGWA
Lasted just 12 minutes before injury saw him replaced by Ashley Cole
5/10

RAMIRES
One mesmeric run nearly resulted in a fine goal but was otherwise far from his best
6/10

RAUL MEIRELES
Failed to close Lavezzi down for his equaliser and coughed up possession far too often
5/10

FLORENT MALOUDA
Selected to provide energy and industry and delivered nothing of the sort
3/10

JUAN MATA
Took his goal with customary composure but his threat was largely snuffed out
6/10

DANIEL STURRIDGE
Direct running caused problems but a lack of end product was a running theme
5/10

DIDIER DROGBA
Offered more than you suspect Fernando Torres would have but that is not saying much on form
5/10

Substitutes ASHLEY COLE: Kept Chelsea in the tie with late clearance off the line. FRANK LAMPARD: Easily bypassed by Napoli’s willing runners: MICHAEL ESSIEN: Only given 20 minutes but shadow of his former self
