Butland 5 - exposed Pieters 4 - uncomfortable Indi 4 - had to play in the middle of a back 3 - where he hasn't convinced and had to lead the two either side of him. Johnson 1 - liability. Why the fuck couldn't we have kept Bards over him. Diouf 4 - pinned back. Not allowed to play his game. Fletcher 5 - tried to advance play, but between a disjointed attack and a makeshift attack, wasn't done any favours. Allen 3 - outmuscled. Again, not done any favours Sobhi 4 - thrown into the deep end. Tried, but left exposed. Jesse 4 - understandably off colour. Should have been allowed to go to his boys bedside. Choupo 4 - not given the service to test Chelsea. Shaq 5 - our only real threat, but needs players around him who can offer him the service and options he needs. Butland 5 agree but didn't think he covered himself in glory despite the fact that he didn't have to make a single save. Peiters 6 didn't do too much wrong. Best of the back 3. Indi 6 ok apart from the first where he was caught cold. Johnson 5 surprisingly ok apart from the 3rd and the last 15 minutes where he was utter wank Diouf 7 our best attacking threat Fletcher 6 steady until stitched up at centre half. Allen 5 Allen! Shaq 7 our best player and mom. Sobhi 4 totally ineffectual Jesse 2 shouldn't hgave played Chopper 6 gave it everything but no support. Crouch 7 should have started Afellay ? Why no third sub?

All 4's apart from Shaqiri. He scraped a 5 Shaqiri 5 ? FFS he ran his legs off. Ok I know that they aren't very long and everything, but even so .....

Anyone rating Fletcher higher than Diouf today seriously needs to moderate their meth intake.

Butland 5 - thought he should have done better for Morata's first and his goal from the tight angle (his 2nd?)
Indi 6 - did OK in a makeshift back three
Johnson 4 - didn't think he was terrible but his customary balls-up costs him a point
Pieters 6 - again did OK, solid enough
Diouf 6 - great effort, decent going forward, should have scored, not sure even he knows what's coming next
Ramadan 5 - a little out of his depth against a top side. Plenty of effort.
Fletcher 5 - tough going in that midfield against Kante, Bakayoko, thought he did well, but his mistake was a bad one
Allen 5 - loads of miles, tough task, held his own in there
Shaqiri 7 - good game. Best player for us. We need him firing against the teams around us.
Moting 6 - sometimes caught on the ball, but at least he was trying to make things happen
Jese 4 - give the guy a month off to get his head straight. He's never a forward in our system. Arsenal goal aside he's been poor.
Crouch 5 - the usual. We did create when he came on.
Affelay 4 - good to have him back but the system/shape went tits-up after he came on & Bruno went off

Let Jesé get his family sorted and come back then, he obviously is concerned, it's on his mind and he's having to jet back and forward he's here all season so let's cut him some slack Hughes and give him time

Butland-5- I don’t know if he could have done better for the goals but had no real protection. Diouf-6- thought he was one of our best players going forward, but his job is to defend and he didn’t do that, especially for the 4th Also missed 2 good chances. Maybe he should be our centre forward??? Johnson- 3- honestly thought he was awful. Terrible decision making, long ball with Jesé on, pass into midfield with crouch on. Think he costed us the game as if we’d have got the goal at 2-0 I think we could’ve got a point, and we looked the likely team to score. 3 of the goals came from our right side. He should’ve gone in he summer and this has to be his last game for stoke. Edwards would’ve done better. Bmi-5- not his best performance but don’t think he trusted the defenders with him. Most balls into morata went back to where they came from, did well when he chased morata all the way back. But he was our only centre half and we conceded 4. Erik-5- thought he was poor against Moses wife, but cleared up most that came into the centre. Thought he did well for someone who was playing out of position. Ramadan- 5- not a defender, if plays should be part of the front 3, out muscled. But ran at the fullbacks, which is what the fans want to see. Allen- 6- thought he had a much better game than the last couple. Got out muscled by Chelsea’s centre midfielders but made up for it with the slide tackles and last ditch tackles. Tried to drive us forward but nothing came off. Much better today from Joe. Fletcher- 5- didn’t really help us going forward today, wasn’t much better defending. Gifted them the second goal and was poor at centre half, but that’s not his position. Can’t moan at fletch for to much as I think he’s been one of our best players this season. Choupo- 6- drives us forward, looks much more affective out wide. Had a half decent shot and took on Moses. Had a pen shout aswell. Unfortuently, wingers need a striker to be in the box to cross for. And we didn’t have them today. HES NOT A CENTRE FORWARD MR HUGHES!! Shaq- 7- my man of the match. Drove at the chelsea defence. Had the confidence to try skills and some worked. MOST Crosses looked good. Had a weak shot but at least someone hit the target! Caused alonso problems all day I thought. Shaq is finally settled and stepped up as our key man. Jesé- 4- If it wasn’t for Johnson I’d say he was our worst player. Looks weak. He doesn’t close down. He doesn’t win headers. He doesn’t even challenge for them. Didn’t drive at the defence. Didn’t shoot. Why was he on the pitch. Haven’t been overly convinced in any game. Got 1 goal but has been poor since. Super Jonny Walters would’ve been better. Think he needs to be dropped sparky, surely it’s not just the fans that can see it. Crouch- 6- we didn’t use him as we should’ve. But the 2 times we did he nodded down we’ll and diouf should’ve scored. Don’t think we should start him but he still is a handful Affelay- 5- didn’t really have a chance today, the game was over and it wasn’t his fault. Some good passes and nice to see him back to some kind of fitness. Honestly think he could’ve got a point. 70th minute, if we get the goal, we draw. The first 30 minutes of the second half we was by far the better team. 3 stupid decisions costed us today. One, Johnson’s stupid mistake knocked the stuffin’ out of us. Why is he passing the ball into the middle?? Someone tell me?? Just clip the line. 2, mark Hughes? Why is Johnson playing?? Why have we taken our only centre half off the pitch. Why haven’t you trusted a young lad In souttar? Don’t put him on the bench if you don’t trust him. Why wasn’t Johnson sold and why was Bardsley kept? If you think Edwards have something special, why aren’t you playing him? It’s pathetic. And finally mike dean. We all know he love the attention. But he has to send Alonso off. He’s on a yellow card. He makes another yellow cardable offence. He’s argued with the ref. He throws the ball away. This isn’t the mike dean show. It’s a premier league game. Ridiculous! Sorry about the essay, I’m just pissed off! Haha Cant argue with any of this. Except for questioning subbing Bruno who was injured. Sticking Fletcher back there and not bringing on Souttar was headscratchingly bizarre.

Seeemed to score with his head but then put it out for a goalkick with his feet all in one move. One of those games where it just wouldn't go in. etc.

I thought Fletcher's horrible star jump at a simple nod in, when he could have walked it in with his cock was worse. Yes it was. You have to feel more than a bit sorry for Fletcher because he really did have a 'mare of a game. Before today he looked like a good signing and a massive improvement on Whelan. But today he missed a (cock) sitter, chested it down for Pedro to run onto and then got stuck with the job of defending a $100 million striker who replaced Diego Costa. Not exactly his finest hour.
