Chelsea Player Ratings: Chelsea's attacking sluggishness limited them to a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest before the international break

Malo Gusto – 6.5/10

Today he was deployed as an invert in the middle, which was not bad, but he wasn’t particularly impressive. He tried to cross the ball and create chances for his teammates, but he wasn’t very accurate.

Wesley Fofana – 6.5/10

Made a record 7 clearances in the โปรโมชั่น ufabet game, had both good and bad tackles, but unfortunately he was too flashy towards the end of the game and was booked, meaning he won’t be able to play in the next game at Liverpool.

Levi Colwill – 7/10

He carried Chelsea‘s defense quite a bit today, and had a number of long passes up front. His most notable highlight was his diving into the box to block a Forest shot, saving the team from a crucial goal.

Marc Cucurella – 6.5/10

He didn’t play particularly well, but had some impressive moments of following up and not letting go. His offensive game today was average and didn’t help the team much.

Moises Caicedo – 6.5/10

He fought hard and never gave up, as is his style. However, he was slow to enter the game, causing him to foul and get a yellow card. He was not creative in his attacking game today because Forest players were very deep in defense.

Enzo Fernandez – 6.5/10

He was moved up high on the left and didn’t really play well. -He also didn’t connect well with Sancho. He was useful today in passing the ball around the opponent’s penalty area. But he still performed below expectations.

Noni Madueke – 7.5/10

Must be praised for scoring the equaliser and for his danger in getting to the far post to create chances, but his poor decision-making in the final third is still there.

Cole Palmer – 7.5/10

Made a crucial assist to help the team equalise. Today he dropped deep to receive the ball and tried to pass the ball from deep, but was not very effective. When he broke away to face the goal, his shot was unfortunately saved.

Jadon Sancho – 6.5/10

When faced with opponents who drop deep, Sancho doesn’t seem to be very good at defending. Today, he didn’t show his best form. However, he has the advantage of being able to keep the ball with him very firmly.

Nicholas Jackson – 6/10

Today he looked dismal in form, his first touch was not as smooth as usual, and he did not look very fit and could not compete with Forest’s defenders. However, he had to be praised for using his speed to squeeze the ball until James Ward-Prowse was willing to give up a foul and get sent off.
