Ipswich Town 2-0 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Scraping the bottom

Community player ratings from Chelsea's defeat at Portman Road

1. COLE PALMER (5.6)

Palmer hit the woodwork twice — first from a direct free kick, then with a lovely first-time shot that was tipped onto the crossbar — and if either one of those goes in, perhaps we're looking at a different outcome. Alas, we'll never know. Instead, we get the second lowest-rated game of the season overall, just ahead of the 2-0 loss at Newcastle in the League Cup.

Our dependence on the 22-year-old may not be as pronounced as it was last season, but most everything good we create still goes through him. And when he's kept quiet as he was in the final 35 minutes of the game, we often struggle.

2. FILIP JÖRGENSEN (5.5)

May have conceded twice, but the first was from a dubious penalty (against him) and the second was a bit of a gift (and a lovely finish form Omari Hutchinson). Jörgensen continues to show that he shouldn't have to wait this long between opportunities

3. Moiés Caicedo (5.4)

When in doubt, vote Moi.
