A terrible first half where both teams were bad and it was like a Championship match with no abilities or attempts. Chelsea was better in the second half, but still not to grant the Blues a win.
We will rate our players after every match, here are Chelsea Insider players ratings:
Caballero: Not much to do, average. 6/10
Rudiger: Maybe the best in the defense. 7/10
Cahill: Some sloppy moments and booked. 6/10
Luiz: Awful match, as if he’s not a Chelsea player and not concentrating at all. Maybe he is thinking about leaving. Booked. 4/10
Zappacosta: A very average match, not like the few minutes he played against Arsenal. 6/10
Kenedy: Poor as well, not his best form of the previous games. He lacks the rhythm of the matches. 6/10
Drinkwater: Average as well, just walking in the midfield. 6/10
Bakayoko: Misplaced balls and still not giving what’s expected from him. 5/10
Pedro: First half bad, second half was better but couldn’t score. 6/10
Willian: Not the best Willian as well. But was the best in the attack for Chelsea. 6/10
Batshuayi: As well very poor form. Wasn’t dangerous at all in the first half, a couple of shots in the second half. Maybe like David Luiz, thinking about leaving the club. 5/10
Subs
Morata: Still out of service since Arsenal’s match. 5/10
Musonda: Tried, but can’t do anything. 5/10
Man of the match: None of Chelsea players for sure. Norwich City should be proud of not allowing the Champion of the Premier League to win and score.
Antonio Conte (manager): The 9 changes to the team didn’t help at all. Resting the players for Arsenal is a good thing, but winning an EFL Cup isn’t like staying in the FA Cup competition and winning it. 5/10
