Posted March 6, 201212 yr Cech 7.8 Ivanovic 7.9 Cahill 7.7 Luiz 7.7 Bertrand 7.9 Ramires* 8.3 Mikel 7.9 Meireles 8.0 Mata 8.2 Kalou 7.2 Torres 7.4 Sturridge 7.3 Lampard 6.4 Essien 6.9 Edited March 6, 201212 yr by BYRON
March 6, 201212 yr Cech - 6.5 - couple of good saves, but his kicking was awful Ivanovic - 7 - good game Cahill - 8 - solid in defence, made some excellent tackles Luiz - 9 - MOM, excellent game Bertrand - 7 - played well Ramires - 7.5 - played well, but his passing wasn't that great Mikel - 8 - did what he had to do, well Meireles - 7.5 - had a good game, great goal Mata - 7.5 - did well, but his penalty was crap. Probably wasn't helped by the Chelsea fans singing 'We want Torres' as he ran up to take it. Kalou - 7 - didn't rate him at all first half, but he improved after the break Torres - 7 - tried hard, won a penalty Sturridge - 5.5 - didn't do much, and made a total bollocks of the easiest chance of the game Lampard - 5 - didn't do a thing, don't understand why he was brought on Essien - 6 - didn't have time to do much
March 7, 201212 yr Cech 7.8 Ivanovic 7.9 Cahill 7.7 Luiz 7.7 Bertrand 7.9 Ramires* 8.3 Mikel 7.9 Meireles 8.0 Mata 8.2 Kalou 7.2 Torres 7.4 Sturridge 7.3 Lampard 6.4 Essien 6.9 These marks are out of 10 right? Way too generous. Great that we won and last night I guess that's all that really mattered but that first half was really poor. Only players for me who perhaps warrant more than a 6 were Luiz and Ramires who I agree was our MOTM.
March 7, 201212 yr Meireles - 2.5 - had a good game, great goal Sturridge - 1.5 - didn't do much, and made a total bollocks of the easiest chance of the game I was 35 minutes in before I realized Meireles was playing. Sturridge is too selfish going forward and too lazy tracking back, needs to learn the meaning of "team" - a few splitters on the bum would cure it, but I'd expect he'd sulk and want to leave

I counted the times Lampard touched the ball in his (I think 17 Minutes) twice...I wouldn't mind if the player who was in his place played better

March 7, 201212 yr Pretty good assesment for me Steve but I feel all the ratings are two points too high, I'd swap the Luiz and Cahill ratings and agree entirely otherwise, were you rating out of 12? You're probably right, I think I got a bit carried away with seeing the team play reasonably well (for a bit).
March 7, 201212 yr against a woeful brum the motm goes to ivanovic for his defencive work and his raids down the right. playing 3 defencive midfielders reminds me suspiciously of villas-boas selections. without anybody in our midfield to control the direction of the passing from defence to attack i give them all a 5 and the driving runs to bring the ball out a 5 also because they losted it and allow brum to have 51% of possession. we had more quality in attack and defence and therefore won thus a 6.5.
