Cech - 8
Probably the hardest he's had to work in net a long time, some world class saves tonight IMO.

Ivan - 7
Was pretty meh until the last 20 minutes, but then made two great tackles and set up Oscar well - maybe still life on Ivan yet
Luiz - 6
Some shaky moments tonight, but he didn't have a shocker tonigh, which some people would have you believe. Thought he dealt with Willian quite well too, like he dealth with Lennon well last weekend.
Terry - 6
Seemed to struggle with the pace of Shakthar's attack. Wasn't too great today.
Cole - 6.5
Texiera didn't get much out of him at LB, and he made a real effort to get forward in the first half. Slightly unlucky for the first goal.

Mikel - 7.5
Thought he was our best outfield player, nothing rarely got past him in midfield and his passing was pretty quick and sharp. A good show of how to play the DM role.
Ramires - 7
Thought he also had a pretty good game once he moved to CM. Passing seems better there, and his pacy breaks are a breath of fresh air.

Oscar - 6
Worked hard but touch and passing was off, was under pressure from Shakthar's midfield all night. Set up Torres for a good chance and got a goal(top scorer in CL) but his performance as a whole wasn't great.
Mata - 6.5
Quite tidy with the ball but not as influential as he has been in recent games. Thought he needed to drive into the box more.
Hazard - 5.5
Had some great turns and nice dribbles but also a couple of bad lost passes - one that ended up in the second goal. Would have been absolutely criticised if it was mikel/Luiz. Also needs to work on his finishing.

Torres - 5.5
Pretty meh, was struggling all night really imo. Never really got into the game.

Subs :-
Lampard - NA
Sturridge - 6
Within 20 minutes set up Hazard for a 1 on 1 and was involved in the goal, but actual performance wasn't massively influential.
