CM) Ramires, 5
Endlessly ran as usual, but missed a golden opportunity to score in the first period when he headed straight at Cech.
CM) Nemanja Matic, 6
Not quite up to his levels of last season yet, but it still early days for the former Benfica man.
CAM) Cesc Fabregas, 7
Tried his best against a fine Arsenal midfield, and should have had an assist with one great pass to Eden Hazard which the Belgian wasted.
LM) Eden Hazard, 3
Was peripheral throughout the match, and will need to improve as the Blues rely so heavily on his creativity.
RM) Willian, 4
Similar to Hazard, and perhaps a new winger is need to provide competition for the pair at Stamford Bridge.
