#5 Frank Lampard got his team selection horribly wrong
With matches flowing thick and fast, it was up to Lampard to rotate his main players while also keeping the crucial home game against LOSC Lille in mind.

Having rested Jorginho against Villa, he should have brought the pivot right back at the centre of the park. The Italian's balls over the top, awareness and overall ability to control the game would have been a viable option to undo Everton's midfield package. Kovacic on the other hand, deserved a big rest.
Willian should have paved way for Callum Hudson-Odoi, who since return from the minor injury, hasn't been involved in the thick of action much.
The same goes with Fikayo Tomori, who for unknown reasons, has now not featured in back to back fixtures. Emerson's attacking instincts and sharp deliveries were dearly missed as well. Some of these senior boys could have dropped to the bench and popped right back into it against Lille.
The substitutions too, came way too late. When there was no real carving done by the Chelsea forward line, no real inspiration, why did the gaffer have to wait till the 70th minute to haul Willian off?
Perhaps, with more December schedules and work requirements, an inexperienced Lampard will learn.
