MF: Eden Hazard – 5/10
Threatened at times, but for a player wanting to be regarded in the same bracket as the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, it is nowhere near good enough.
MF: Oscar – 5/10
Flashes of being decisive, but he lacked quality in the final third and was unable to influence the game for the hosts.
FW: Falcao – 5/10
Faces a really tough task in replacing the threat that Diego Costa offers during the Spaniard’s suspension. He will need to give Jose Mourinho more moving forward.
Substitutes
Nemanja Matic – 4/10
Came on at half time, only to return to the bench before the end. Poor performance even though it was more of a tactical change with Chelsea chasing the game.
Pedro – 5/10
The Spaniard offered a different kind of threat following his introduction, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.
Loic Remy – N/A
