My opinion on players: Cech - friggin best GK in the world right now. Seems back to his best self like before the injury. Great reaction time, good on going out to centres and very confident overall. Just magnificent. - 7 Ivanovic - wall in the defence, although he did few mistakes today - 7 Terry - captain, leader, legend. Still looking good, pushing us forward, never complaining, classy display from classy player. - 7 Cole - didn't really pay much attention to him. Looked good on going forward, sometimes he was missed at the back imo, tried to find a net too much sometimes - 6 Bosingwa - didn't pay much attention to him either although he was visible and fast going back. Good display - 6 Mikel - beast in the midfield. You can all complain, he dominates teams. Great ball control and strong to keep the ball. Surely was missed - 7 Essien - shaky display, seemed lost at the beginning, found himself later though. Had few good runs up front, not a display I would expect from him. Needs a hairdryer or bench. - 5 Ramires - I'm starting to absolutely love him. Running his ass off, working hard and trying to find a goal or a pass. He was everywhere on the pitch and I see a bit of Maka in him. He needs some bulking up though, because they out muscled him at occasions. Good goal, hope it's a beggining for more to come. - 8 Malouda - IMO he wasn't visible today enough, although he did fight for every ball. Good performance as usual. Love his partnership with Cole on the wing, they work together great. Good goal and contribution to other scores. - 6 Anelka - good to see him at least trying to shoot. Good pace running for the long balls but he seems to lose his old killer instinct. Wasted too many chances, but looked better than recent performances in league. Maybe a goal will boost his confidence up. - 6 Drogba - finally Drogba as we know him. Absolute beast, great goal and contribution. Easily MOTM. When he finally decides to move his ass a bit we see other Chelsea. Nice abs. Hope he can keep it up and work on his pace a little bit because I think JT would win 100m run with him. And try to do something else when you take a free kick, because everyone knows what you're going to do Didier. - 9 Josh -a lot of passes, not very creative today but he could use more minutes. Despire his posture didn't get pushed off the ball too much. Hope he gets more chances because he looks like our number one prospect at the moment. - 6 Kalou - invisible. He came on and that's the last time I saw him. Don't know if he tried to shoot or run or if he was even there. - 5
