Chelsea :: Fudbal ~ Kladionica ~ Fantasy ~ Navijaci

Petr Cech (2): There is no word to describe just how bad a man once considered world class in his position was tonight. He was so nervous and hapless you'd have been forgiven for thinking he was on Liverpool's side. Shaky from crosses, culpable for the first two goals and left an open goal that could have killed his side's chances early in the second half.

Branislav Ivanovic (6): Conceded a penalty for something that, while bad for the game, everyone usually gets away with. Made some good saving challenges, could and perhaps should have even had a penalty himself. Solid.

Ricardo Carvalho (4): A light but careless shove gave away the free kick that conceded the first goal. His no nonsense defending came in handy from time to time, but he was generally a step or two too slow. His failure to head away Riera's cross late on was unforgivable and when Kuyt scored, it could have cost the Blues the tie.

Alex (7.5): He was a little careless and slow, particularly in the first half, but the significance of his thunderbolt free kick cannot be underestimated. It was exceptional and it was the most significant goal of the game.

Ashley Cole (6): Lost possession too often early on, but should not have been booked when he was. Was rarely threatened down the flank and handled himself reasonably well.

Michael Essien (6): Showed good energy as always, but in the first half in particular, he showed just why he is best running and shooting - not passing. He gave away the ball far, far too often. Made a vital goal-line clearance at the death.

Michael Ballack (6): He was Captain Invisible for most of the game, cropping up late on to miss a great chance but then play a beautifully deft pass to set up a goal minutes later. That one moment validated his presence on the pitch, because no one else in Chelsea's team could have produced that pass at that moment.

Frank Lampard {8}: Had a good free kick early on, but his deliveries were poor thereafter and he lacked composure on the edge of the area. That soon changed: late on he scored two - one a little scrappy, one first time, game-killing and delectable.

Salomon Kalou (5): Was a decent wide presence at times and put in one good cross, but was substituted in the first half after Chelsea went 2-0 down.

Didier Drogba (9): An absolute titan. The strength, power and will of two men. The Man of the Match. His effort in the first half could not be faulted - he wanted it more than any of his team-mates and showed no nerves. He had a good free kick and may be credited with the first goal but otherwise played a big part in creating the third and fourth as well. Remarkable.

Florent Malouda (6): Had an awful first half but when given a little more time and space in the second he played a couple of good passes and made some promising runs, but never really got going.

Nicolas Anelka {8}: Well, you can only applaud Guus Hiddink's decision to bring him on as early as he did, even if Kalou's substitution was forced due to injury. He was more eager to play directly from the right hand side and his hopeful cross created the first Chelsea goal, he also set up the fourth.
