Chelsea crash out of the FA Cup with embarrassing performance against Brighton

Chelsea fall out of the FA Cup at an early stage, at the hands of Brighton, who came into the game off the back of a 7-0 defeat.

Totally and utterly embarrassing, here’s my player ratings from tonight’s 2-1 defeat :

Robert Sanchez – 5

No positives to take from him, no convincingly good moments. Just generally a night to forget for everyone. His passing accuracy numbers were poor, again.

Malo Gusto – 4

Really poor tonight, and I actually thought he just seemed weak all over. Won just one of 10 ground duels and didn’t offer any sort of threat going forward.

Tosin Adarabioyo – 5

Hard to find any positives in a defence that looked shaky throughout the game. A high nine clearances made tonight from Tosin, and he wasn’t too bad in the passing department. No higher than a five though. Hardly anyone deserves that.

Trevoh Chalobah – 5

Much the same as Tosin. A fair few clearances but nothing else to add.

Marc Cucurella – 5

A more reasonable performance than many, I would suggest, but given the defeat I’m sticking with a five.

Moises Caicedo – 7

As always, our best performer by a disgustingly large distance. It feels like he’s the only player that actually shows an ounce of effort weekly right now. 11/14 ground duels won, 93% pass completion too and resisted Brighton’s press better than anyone else did.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 5

Dull and ordinary. As I’ve always said, I have absolutely nothing against him, I just don’t think he offers us anything at all.

Pedro Neto – 4

Expected he might have kicked on after aiding our improvement on Monday. But no, just a whole lot of nothing this evening, no threat at all.

Cole Palmer – 5

He did “score” bit didn’t get much into the game after that. Not his night and it’s becoming a bit regular at the moment.

Jadon Sancho – 4

Same as Neto, just really poor. Didn’t offer a major threat to Brighton throughout the game, we’re lacking badly out wide.

Christopher Nkunku – 4

So, so so poor. Hardly involved in the game, made nothing of even the half-chances he was given. Poor.

Substitutes:

Tyrique George – N/A

Noni Madueke – N/A

Enzo Fernandez – 6

At least looked like he wanted to make things happen. Not enough though.

Enzo Maresca – 4

I don’t know where we go from here. We looked void of any real ideas tonight, we had nothing about us and a lot of that ultimately reflects on the manager. Something desperately needs improving or else this rut will continue.
