Player Ratings 2021/22

Edouard Mendy - 6 - His performances have become calamitous, I would give Kepa another try from the start of 22/23

Kepa Arrizabalaga - 6 - Don't remember him letting us down, when he got any game time

Reece James - 8 - Really think this kid could become the Skipper. Injuries slowed him down this season, and has yet to get back to his best.

Cesar Azpilicueta - 5 - A real Chelsea legend,  unfortunately, age and speed (lack of) now hamper him, and I think he may go to Barca

Ben Chilwell - 6 - Would have been player of the year if injury had not cut his season short.

Marcos Alonso - 7 - Best Season for Marcos by far, really impressed by his application, assists and goals. Can't remember many bad performances

Thiago Silva - 9 - My Player of the Year, consistency is his by-word.  If only we had got him when he was 24 !!

Antonio Rudiger - 8 - Good Season but will miss out on Legend status because of his thirst for money, and leaving the Club at this difficult time

Malang Sarr - 3 - Simply not good enough for Chelsea

Trevoh Chalobah - 6 - A good start to his Chelsea career, needs to look at Silva's consistency

Jorginho - 6 - I love him and then hate him (penalties !!) Not his best season for us, but would still keep him

Kante - 4 - N'Golo's worst season at Chelsea. Inconsistent, plagued by injuries and looks like he has lost a yard of pace. Disappointing !

Kovacic - 7 - I still rate him highly. We look a better team when he plays, but injuries are becoming a bit of a worry.

Saul Niguez - 3 - See Malang Sarr !!

Ruben Loftus-Cheek - 5 - Both good and bad from RLC this season. Don't think he will ever be a consistent starter and may be better of moving on

Ross Barkley - 4 - Apart from the winner against Watford, I forgot we still had him. 

Mason Mount - 7 - Some great goals and the usual assists, but he seemed to lose his way a bit, got dropped and I am not certain TT rates him as highly as the fans do

Hakim Ziyech - 6- When he's on it, he can be superb, but this isn't often.  Again attitude and consistency seems to be at fault, but I would probably keep him

Callum Hudson-Odoi - 3 - Literally going backwards, wish we had taken the Deutschmarks !!

Christian Pulisic - 4 - Has lost his way at Chelsea, despite being a good player on his day. He will leave in the window.

Kai Havertz - 7 - This lad has something, but we have failed to get it out of him on a regular basis. He is a superb footballer, has skill, pace and control. We need to fin the ideal position and partner for him

Romelu Lukaku - 3 - So so poor !! Makes the Club look ridiculous for paying £95million and is literally thumbing his nose at the Club and its fans - GET RID ASAP !!

Timo Werner - 4 - I feel really let down by Timo. Still convinced that he does have ability, but he never takes the chance to show it.

 
Done mine by appearances in the league chronologically: 

Rudiger - 34 appearances (league) - 8 - centre back - largely solid , good motivator and will be hard to replace. 3 Goals scored.

Mendy - 34 appearances (league) - 7 - Gk- seemed good before AFCON and then seemed to lose confidence yet picked up before season's end.

Silva - 28  appearances (league) -8- centre back- solid and good professional. 3 Goals scored.

Mount - 27 appearances (league) - 8- Best attacker with 11 league goals yet feel England duty was a distraction and could have been even better.

Jorginho - 26 appearances (league) - 6 - Defensive midfielder with 6 goals probably all penalties and a number of assists, willing to take a card at vial moments yet                 hindered by slow pitch movement.

Alonso - 25  appearances (league) - 6 - Left wide back with 4 goals. Not expected to play so many with Chilwell joining the club. Great left foot for shots and crosses yet switches off defensively at times and is slow to get back into position.

Azpilicueta - 24 appearances (league) - 6 - Right wide back and centre back and club captain. Like with Alonso not expected to play so many. Great psychological captaincy against the Brazilians in that World Cup comp for the penalty yet also the odd uncomfortable exchange with fans.  Still a good player though has lost some speed or match stamina most noticeable in the RWB position and as the season  dragged on. 1 Goal.

James - 22 - appearances (league) - 7 - Right wide back and centre back started in just 57% of league matches due to injury. Defensively very strong and offensively has good crossing potential though not always delivered at the right pace. Towards the end of the seaon coming more infield and crosses form here might be more telling. If he can stay injury free has great potential. 5 goals.

Kante - 21 - appearances (league) - 6 - Midfielder - Season interrupted by injuries. More tactical fouls committed and losing possession yet still has the ability to break opposition lines by timing and speed of breaks. 

Christensen - 17 - appearances (league) - 6 - centre back - Season interrupted by injuries. Had some decent performances and more resilient to strong attackers than previously yet not committed to the club. No goals.

Chalobah - 17 - appearances (league) - 6 - centre back - Break through season, some decent performances though struggled against faster smaller wide forwards. Shows good potential if can improve further. 

Kovacic - 16 -  appearances (league) - 7- midfielder - Injuries prevented more playing time, best midfielder we have, good dribbling ability to break defensive lines and speed to challenge opposition midfielders. 

Lukaku - 16 -  appearances (league) - 5- Striker -  injured at start of season and then appeared unhappy with services. When service was good he was not clinical. Still scored 8 goals.

Werner - 15 - appearances (league) - 5 - Attacker -  Worked hard yet finishing was very poor apart for a couple of occasions. Towards the end of the season appeared less committed. Would be surprsed if he is stil at SB next year. 4 goals.

Part two to come.

 
Part Two - Players under 15 League Appearances

Done mine by appearances in the league chronologically: 

Ziyech - 14 League Appearances - 5 - midfielder -  4 Goals. Plays either wide on the right or wide on the left. Attitude has been questioned at times though at other times has worked hard for the team. Often shoots by cutting in from the right and shooting from his left. Has scored some decent goals yet most are tame or not accurate enough.

Pulisic - 13 - League Appearances - 6 - attacker - 6 goals. One of our best finishers in the box yet tends to fade in matches and this season has been injured or not preferred at times.

Loftus-Cheek - 13 - League Appearance - 5- midfielder - 0 goals. Played in several positions, defensive mid, RWB, central midfield and even striker. Does not sparkle in any yet is certainly not a striker. Due to injury crisis has become a squad utility player.

Hudson-Odoi - 11 - League Appearances - 6 - attacker -  1 goal. Has been used as a RWB and also as a left sided attacker and sometimes an attacker on the right. Currently seen as more of a provider than a goal scorer. Injuries have impacted his season badly and it remains to be seen where his best position will be. 

Chilwell - 6 - League Appearances - 7 - left wide back - 3 goals. Fantastic start before incurring a bad injury that kept him out until the last day of the season. Unlike Alonso was quick and also good offensively. If he recovers fully from his injury he will strengthen the team immensely.

Sarr - 6 - League Appearances - 5 - Centre back and left wide back. Has deputised as a left back or left wide back not able to be offensive in this role so far. With a good preseason he might improve though otherwise will likely be a squad option. No goals.

Niguez - 5 - League Appearance - 5 - Loanee midfielder also used a LWB. Didn't excel in any way yet also was not terrible.

Kepa - 4 - League Appearances - 6 - Goal Keeper. Only really played when Mendy not available. Has done ok though Mendy is better at dealing with crosses and set pieces.

Kenedy - 1 - League Appearances - 5 -  left sided player. Has some quality yet inconsistent.

Barkley - 1 - League Appearances- 6 - attacker. 1 goal. Only appeared right at the end of the season and scored and won a corner. Also scored his penalty in a cup shootout. The only consideration is he has played well several times before and then his form has dropped after one good showing.

NB - missed Havert

Havertz - 22 - League Appearances - 6 - striker. 8 goals. Played in several positions, midfield, attacker and false No.9. Best position was false no.9. His movement is very good and is good linking up with players. He has scored some magnificent goals and also missed several chances in some games. His seaosn has alos been reduced by injury and health. 

Tuchel - Manager - 8 - Club had the highest number of matches in the season and was impacted by COV-iD, Sanctions and a heavy first team depletion by injury. Handled the media who were hostile at times very well.  Sometimes he seemed to make the wrong subs or team picks yet more often picked the best team available.

 He was also going through a divorce from his wife. 

 
I checked our last two seasons where we won the league

11 and 9 players played 25 or over league matches yet in this one just 5 players played 25 or more league matches.
