Chelsea FC Draw With Newcastle: Chelsea Player Ratings

ASMIR BEGOVIC. 6. <p>Wasn’t as good as he has been in games past. However, still made some pretty impressive saves throughout the game.</p>. GK. Bosnia-Herzegovina

Serbia. BRANISLAV IVANOVIC. 3. <p>Another week, another awful game from Ivanovic. I wasn’t impressed at all. His communication and movement with Zouma seemed off all game long and of course caused Chelsea’s downfall when Ayoze Perez was gifted a chance which he took impressively.</p>. RB

England. GARY CAHILL. 5. <p>Cahill made me miss Terry throughout the game. I never felt like he was leading the back line nor did he seem capable of preventing either of the two Newcastle goals. I can only wonder what the club captain was thinking while sat on the bench.</p>. CB

6. <p>I was hoping Zouma would follow-up his good performance last week with another solid outing. Unfortunately, he wasn’t in the least bit impressive from any point of view but was not exceptionally poor either. Certainly performed better than his centre-back partner so I would be surprised if he were to make way for Terry in the Porto game.</p>. CB. France. KURT ZOUMA

7. <p>Azpilicueta continues to be the only Chelsea defender who is worth much for a solid game. A classic performance from Cesar who was probably the sole player to come away with his reputation intact after the appalling first half Blues display.</p>. LB. Spain. CESAR AZPILICUETA
