Friedel - 7 - not troubled, kept everyone calm, one moment only where Walker wanted him to come out for a cross but that's not his game, cool save from Lampard's strike.

Walker - 8 - thought he did very well defensively today up against Cole and the rotating wingers.
Gallas - 8.5 - happy to have him back, showed leadership telling players what to do and won headers up against Drogba, keeping him mostly quiet
Kaboul - 7 - wasn't troubled much and a decent surging run in the second half
Ekotto - 6.5 - happy birthday disco, but got caught out a couple of times however most of the play came down his end

Bale - 6 - stayed out left which allowed us to play centrally more although his contribution was not the best, too many shots where a lay-off would have been better. unlucky with his header against the post.
Modric - 8 - showed why Chelsea wanted him, kept the side ticking and excellent assist for VDV which was unfortunately missed
Parker - 7 - played in front of the back 4 which is what his position should always be and shielded the team well, covering all positions when players were out of them
Sandro - 6 - didn't do too much but seemed to play alongside modric in front of parker and man marked Lampard well
VDV - 8 - good game by Rafael but wish he had scored from 10 yards, didn't misplace a pass.

Ade - 8.5 - I wish his first touch was better, he would have beaten Cech one on one if it was however his hold up play was excellent, brought people into play and won almost all headers.


Livermore - 6 - took over from Sandro and carried on his job
Saha - 6 - fresh legs but not much to do.
 
Friedel - 7

Walker - 7,5
Kaboul - 6,5
Gallas - 7
BAE - 7,5

VDV - 7
Modric - 8,5
Parker - 8
Sandro - 7
Bale - 7,5

Ade - 7.5

Saha - 7.5
Livermore - 6.5
 
Friedel - 7, didn't do anything wrong
Walker - 6, not sure how he got man of the match, especially considering his almost disasterous lack of judgement on their post hitting free kick!
Gallas - 7, our best defender on the day comfortably but very lucky not to have conceded a pen.
Kaboul - 4, absolute liability. Three really bad mistakes, one that should've accumulated in a penalty and another where Parker really saved his bacon.
Ekotto - 5, maybe thinking about his birthday. Would explain why he switched off so much. Gifted Chelsea a great chance, but Parker bailed him out and is definitely owed some cake!
VDV - 7, thought he played really well today and was very disciplined
Sandro - 5, struggled to be involved and gave it away cheaply too often
Parker - 9, MOM. His first half performance alone warranted it but in the second half he was also defensively excellent. Like VDV a much more discplined performance too.
Modric 7, thought he was very poor in the first half, but absolutely outstanding in the second half
Bale 6, thought he was a threat and kept trying things. Not much came off for him today though.
Ade 6, struggled on his own up top but came into the game a lot more when Saha came on. Overall though he did waste some good possession and really should've buried the one on one.

Saha 7, made a positive impact
Livermore 6, didn't really get involved

Redknapp 8, did exactly what I said he was doing in the OMT. Play tight for 75 mins, play for the draw and then the last 10/15 mins go for it and see if you can sneak a win. Almost worked too.
 
Friedel - 6 would have liked him to come out a few times when he stayed on the line but did well enough

Walker - 7 did well going forward as well as marking back. seems to be getting more consistent defensively of late.
Gallas - 8 was a leader today. so strong in defence and his heading was sure enough to thwart any long balls they hit at us.
Kaboul - 7.5 another solid performance from him. hope the injury isn't serious
Benoit - 7 did well against any wide player that came at him and offered a little going forward

Sandro - 7 name wasn't called much but helped break up passing lanes and did all that was asked of him
Parker - 7 about the same as Sandro, didn't get forward, but again thats not his role in this team
Modric - 6 wasn't his best game yet still managed a few decent chances and opportunities for others
Bale - 7 needs to pass the ball more but was arguably our most dangerous player going forward

VdV - 6 solid, kept possession but really should have converted his chances when he had the opportunity. was the difference in 1 and 3 pts
Ade - 6.5 lost the ball countless times in 1st half, second half was a different story. did well holding up the ball when so isolated


Livermore - 6.5 not much to base it off here but wasn't a liability and got us a set piece towards the end
Saha - 6.5 again didn't have much time but won just about every long ball from Friedel and made us look more dangerous in attack
 
Can't believe some of the ratings for BAE. Made quite a few mistakes, especially around the time he got booked
 
I loved Ade's play today, but how many times this season have you thought to yourself, wow, if only he struck that a little better that would be an easy goal? even goals he scored earlier in the year were effete efforts that just happened to go in. It's like he has no confidence with his shot whatsoever.

no you got it wrong and you can't even admit it. Yes we played tight but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know we were going to play it tight going away to Chelsea. the fact is we created far more than they did playing such an ultra defensive tactic (thats what you call it yes?). They created fudge all.

You got it wrong. You saw the team selection and moaned about it being a defeatist atitude by Arry and now you're somehow trying to claim you knew this was gonna happen all along?
 
One goal on either side would have made such a difference to the ratings that will appear on here today. On one hand, it was a boring game with some heart in the mouth moments at the wrong end. On the other, we dominated possession for large chunks of the game and had all of the best chances.

Friedel - 7 - No real saves to make, looked composed and reassuring at the back

Walker - 8 - MOTM for me, solid in defence and helped support the attack, unlucky not to score too
Gallas - 7 - A couple of nervy moments, but generally quite good and stepped up as a leader to the defence
Kaboul - 7 - Also pretty solid
Assou-Ekotto - 7 - Good

Parker - 7 - Made it very difficult for Chelsea to break us down
Sandro - 6 - Good defensively but offered nothing going forward when he tried
Modric - 7 - A few nice moments of trickery and good possession football

VdV - 7 - Some nice passing, but missed the best chance of the game
Adebayor - 7 - Also missed a sitter, but his hold up play was very good
Bale - 6 - Kept Chelsea on their toes, but no end product from him today

Subs:
Saha and Livermore - 6 - Ok
 
Friedel - 6

Walker - 7 defended the whole right side well
Gallas - 8 The real captain today led from defences
Kaboul - 7 solid
Benoit - 7 did very well against Ramires after a shaky start

Sandro - 7 Solid and made it difficult for chelsea to play
Parker - 7 disciplined and won the ball well
Modric - 7 Got better as the game went on and found a lot of space
Bale - 7.5 Our best attacking threat, chelsea were scared whenever he had the ball and he dribbled very well in tight spaces.

VdV - 8 kept possession well, dictated our play and was bossing the midfield
Ade - 7 Isolated abit but did well


Livermore - 6 - did well when he came on, no time to do much but he contributed towards our fight well
Saha - 6 not much time and lost the ball a few times but nothing of the horror shows of late
 
Moonlit doesn't rate Walker, Kaboul and BAE oh and guess what? a 6,4,and 5 rating.

i'm sure you've stated sandro is overrated on here too?
 
I can't believe these ratings for Bale. He's become so self-obsessed and today he hardly passed the ball; instead he just took shots from 40 yards out
 
Friedel- 6 Fine, apart from that free kick from Mata where he was nowhere.

Walker- 6 Solid at the back, but wasteful in possesion

Gallas- 8 A leader, solid, especially that his opponent was Drogba

Kaboul- 7 Good solid game.

Assou ekotto 7 Good passing and solid at the back

Parker- 7 Much better from him. Kept it simple.

Sandro- 6 Didnt really see much of him. Needs to play week in week out to be at his best.

Modric- 8 Fantastic control and passing. His pass in the 2nd half for adebayor deserved a goal.

Van der Vaart- 6 Looks fitter but cannot play 90 minutes. should have scored.

Bale- 7 Wasteful shooting but fine header onto the crossbar. Good runs worried them.

Adebayor 6- Bad first half, better second half. should have scored after beating Cech. Good hold up play but frustating at times.

didn't see what you saw regarding Parker. was good, but a 9?

and how was Kaboul so bad to give him a 4? thought it ended in a nil-nil draw?
 
Friedel - 7 - Solid

Walker - 7 - Apart from 1 defensive error where he passed the ball to Drogba,very good and unlucky with his chance
Gallas - 7.5 - Provided defensive stability,covered very well for Kaboul on a couple of occasions
Kaboul - 6 - Few mistakes,average
Assou-Ekotto - 7 - Solid

Parker - 7.5 -Ran his socks off,covered the ground very well,helped our defence-THATS the Parker I wanna see always
Sandro - 6 - Provided a bit more defensive stability,but mostly anonymous
Modric - 8 -MoM - It wasen't a performance where he totaly dominated with more than 100 passes and touches,but as soon as he realised what he needs to do,he provided 4 clear cut chances for us.Very good set pieces and possession game

VdV - 6.5 - He tries,but just like Kranjcar,RM/RW is simply not his position and should have done better with the chance he had.Set pieces were good
Adebayor - 7.5 - Very good hold up play,dribbling and anticipation.Sloppy touch and possession sometimes,if he scored his chance,then he would have gotten mom
Bale - 6 - Selfish and drifted inside too much
