Took limited chances with his distribution after the nightmare in Paris.<\/p>\n Faced a tough task all afternoon up against Chelsea academy graduate Rio Ngumoha, and struggled defensively as he managed the responsibilities of the wing-back role.<\/p>\n Played his part in a clever free-kick routine that levelled the game, and overall looked more confident at the back than he has in a while.<\/p>\n How much Chelsea have missed Levi Colwill. A commanding display at the heart of defence in his first start of the season.<\/p>\n Impressed in the wide centre-back role. Something a potential new manager will have been intrigued by.<\/p>\n Arguably Chelsea\u2019s most dangerous player going forwards in a very advanced wing-back role. Gave off vibes of Jeremie Frimpong in Xabi Alonso\u2019s fantastic Bayer Leverkusen side.<\/p>\n Preferred to Romeo Lavia, Andrey Santos was a bit of a non-factor at times, with the game passing him by for large sections. Replaced on the hour for Reece James.<\/p>\n Looked closer to the player who dominated the middle of the park in the early part of the season. Still hope that version of Moises Caicedo has not been lost.<\/p>\n Devilish free-kick completely caught Liverpool out to level the game, and could\u2019ve made it two for himself straight after.<\/p>\n Fernandez took a while to warm into the game, but started to dictate tempo alongside the Chelsea midfield.<\/p>\n Kept picking the ball up in pockets that he excels in, allowing Chelsea to look a more creative force than in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Was unlucky to see a fine strike ruled out for an offside in the build-up.<\/p>\n Lead the line well but ultimately struggled to carve out a genuine chance for himself in an end-to-end game.<\/p>\n Slotted straight into the Chelsea midfield upon his arrival to proceedings, the position we could expect him to start on the FA Cup final.<\/p>\nWho was your Man of the Match vs Liverpool?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
