Forgive me the following cathartic exercise.....
Howard 4 - should have been put off, gets a point extra for standing up to Costa
Seamus 7- one assist and after a slow start, always kept trying to get us on the front foot
Baines 6- decent. Form has improved
Jagielka 3 - has given us many good days but was dire. Dip in form really concerning
Distin 5 - better than his partner but not good
McCarthy 6 - decent apart from Hazard ripping him a new one for the OG
Barry 5 - struggled against pace of Chelsea breaks
McGeady - 6.5 - very unlucky to be taken off. Passing was an eye opener
Mirallas 8 - quality performance from start to finish
Naismith 8 - his finishing is like Lineker at his peak. His work rate like Cahill at his peak.MOM
Lukaku 5 - unlucky with header off bar but struggled to assert himself
Subs Etoo 7 - will be first choice striker by Halloween
Basic - didn't cost us points - let's hope he learns from it
