The Big Drog 1,110 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Cech 6.5- Did well with what he had to deal with, important touch to deny Hernandez.Bosingwa 4- Awful, defensively so inadequate at this level, got forward but lost the ball far too much.Ivanovic 5.5- Decent display, had a couple of problems with attackers running at him.Terry 8- Superb in everything he did tonight, led from the back.Cole 6.5- tried to get forward when he could, solid defensively.Ramires 6.5- Did well out wide, should have won a penalty.Essien 6.5- He got better as the match went along, still not up to his own high standards.Lampard 5- It wasn't a good performance from super Frank, not good at all.Zhirkov 5- Entirely ineffective, if the choice is between him and Malouda Id rather not choose.Torres 6- Movement good, glimpses of his speed, got into great positions, unlucky to score but will still be made the scapegoat by the media because he is a high profile name.Drogba 7- The best of all of our attacking players, looked the most likely to do something special, wrongly taken off.Anelka 5- He just keeps dropping too deep.Malouda 5.5- Decent but never got at Valencia enough.Mikel 5- Wrong substitution, chasing a game in which we showed very little creativity, he is not the right man to bring on.

Ollie 4,400 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Cech 8 - Goal wasn't his fault but looked safe and handled very well. Ivan 7 - Very strong and came out of defence with the ball to try and make things happenJT 7 - Dominant, strong and Ash 6 - Normal performance from him really, did nothing wrong. Bosingwa 5 - Great speed, looked dangerous but awful final ball and can't defend. Skinned by a 38 year oldEssien 3 - Slow, awful passing, confused.comLampard 4 - RIP. Shit passing, crap shooting, looks old and cant wait to get rid of the ballRamires 7 - Lively, tried hard and showed quick feet but no helpZhirkov 2 - Didn't see himTorres 6 - Looked most likely to score and looked dangerous with the ball at his feet. Great skill too and beat a few players. It's comingDrogba 5 - Just ran into people, created nothing, bad body language, no efforts on goal, moaned, same ol' DD. Couple of good bits of skill but then fucked it up. Edited April 6, 2011 by OllieCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spuz 143 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I rate everyone as 'fucking disgrace' except for Drogba, Cech, Terry, Ivanovic and Ramires.I thought Cashley did well. Torres is trying but needs the service. Drogs needs to pick his bottom lip up sometimes or he'll trip over it.Bosingwa as an attacking threat 7.5 / 10 as a defender 1.5 / 10.

Badboy 1,526 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Petr Cech - 7Jose Bosingwa - 3 We need to sell him, i actually noticed how limited this guy is. Branislav Ivanovic - 7 He tried really had to get us back in the game. John Terry - 7 Played okAshley Cole - okMichael Essien - 6.5 He tried, its not happening for him. Ramires - 3- Not a right winger. Frank Lampard - 2 Complete and utter wank in midfield, im not bothered how many goals he scores. Yuri Zhirkov - 2 this guy was thrown in when he has hardly kicked a ball in like 2 months ? Fernando Torres - 3 He looks like a donkey on the ball but tried to get involved. Didier Drogba - 7 Best player, he was creating chances but the team was wank around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strong centreback 157 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Petr Cech 7 - Good performance from the big guyJose Bosingwa 4 - Out of position for the goal and whilst good getting forward poor in defenceBranislav Ivanovic 6- solid performanceJohn Terry 8 - lead by example unfourtunately though not many followedAshley Cole 6 - some good defensive work but attacking play was limitedRamires 7 - was a threat when on the ball and unlucky not to get the penalty late on, our best midfielder by a clear distanceMicheal Essien 5 - didnt have a good game had little impact and could have been sent offFrank Lampard 5 - like mike didnt have a good game infact had quite a bad game in all honesty, when frank has a bad game the team has a bad game as he is our main creative outletYuri Zhirkov 6 - didnt have a good nor poor game was just seemingly there, had a few good runs but besides that a game to forgetFernando Torres 7 - made good runs and was working hard to chase balls down, him and drogs do not work together up top, vastly better partnership when anelka came onDidier Drogba 6 - tale of two halfs, first was good worked hard got stuck in, second the petulance started when decisions started going against us, rightly subbed as in that mood he either raises his game and has a stormer or like last night goes off the boil and stops working for the team unfortunately it was the latter last nightSUBSFlorent Malouda 6 - provided fresh attacking impetuousNicolas Anelka 6 - lovely link up play, and id start with him and torres at OTJohn Obi Mikel 6 - see zhirkov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. 4,352 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Cech - 7 - As usual, I would say.Bosingwa - 3 - Since his come back he didn't convince me once. But now he has clearly convinced me that we should sell him in the summer. He can't defend nor cross a God damn ball (all his crosses either hit the first defender or go in the stand).Ivanovic - 6,5 - Did the job.John Terry - 7 - Like above.Ashley Cole - 6 - ditto.Essien - 3 - Abysmal.Lampard - 3 - Abysmal.Ramires - 5 - He wasn't implied in the game as usual, but still a good game from him. From the "flop" he turned into our best midfielder.Zhirkov - 5 - Not a great game at all. But I believe he hasn't been handled correctly, he should have had 20 minutes of playing time (at least) against Stoke, because we threw him in a big big game, while he hasn't played a game for a while.Drogba - 7,5 - I'm really pleased by his commitment. He can be execrable when he's doing his antics, but he was the our best player last night, and he was the one with the more motivition... During some 20 minutes, it was "Dider Drogba Vs Manutd".Torres - 5 - Well, he has done good moves here and there, but that's all.Malouda - the wrong substitution.Anelka - ?Mikel - 5 - He didn't have that much of time to show things. Though it was enough to show why he should have started the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Quite funny reading this really, such differing opinions on Torres and Drogba on who was better. I was even arguing with ppl at work today on who was better. I think ppl are just saying Torres was shit because he aint scored yet. He was good yesterday and a huge threat. Drogba provided no goalscoring threat, he was just moaning for the majority, running into players, losing the ball and failing to pick anyone out. Torres took on and beat players, had 4 or 5 efforts which almost got us the goal, a bit more luck and he woulda got 3. Drogba has the presence but he's a striker, he didn't look like one yesterday imo, his positioning was also crap. Torres' movement was better too. I dont remember a DD shot on target.

Drogba has the presence but he's a striker, he didn't look like one yesterday imo, his positioning was also crap. Torres' movement was better too. I dont remember a DD shot on target.I'm in a media blackout but I've read a view different Chelsea forums and there seems to be a split on the Torres/Drogba issue. This seems to summarize the general tone.Pro-Torres camp:Not being funny, but Drogba had one clear sight of goal and put it straight down the keeper's throat. Other than that he mis-controlled, poorly passed, or otherwise ceded possession all night. In the 10-15 minutes before the substitution he was regressing into his normal selfish, one man army routine that helps nobody. After Drogba went off, we nearly scored several times - including Torres bringing a world class save from VDS. Pro-Drogba camp:If thats how you saw it fair enough, but I disagree . I thought Drogs was far busier and posed far more of a threat than Torres. The Spaniard once again flattered to deceive. I thought Anelka made a difference when he came on and I feel that had Drogs still been on the field we would have created better chances than we did with Torres. The VDS saves were class but did not result from 'great' chances which I think Drogs/Anelka might have manufactured. It was pathetic to see Torres diving. Is he really that desperate ?
