Chelsea players’ ratings vs Derby County
Chelsea played host to coach Frank Lampard led Derby County side last night in the fourth round of the Carabao League.
The game showed a lot of weakness in the Blues defense – which is likely to be the next area coach Maurizio Sarri will have to look into.
Chelsea won the game with three goals to two but it was a hard win for the Blues as most of the players were not spectacular and really look confused in the first half.

Caballero 6: he put a lot of pressure on the Blues defense but made some saves.
Zappacosta 6: he is the only defender that performed above average but he also created some spaces for Derby County to penetrate.
Gary Cahill 4: he and Christensen didn’t work together at the back, there was too much space.
Christensen 3: Maurizio Sarri was not happy with him as he did a poor job.
Emerson 3: he always wanted to move forward to join the attack but defensively he was poor.
