#2 Flop: Jose Fonte

While Lille's problems in goal continued, they forgot to stick to the basics, as seen in recent weeks since the start of the new term.

Jose Fonte, while good on the ball and during set pieces, made a couple of horrifying errors that were enough to grant Chelsea a goal.

He struggled to keep pace with the speed at which the Blues moved the ball during some stages of the game, and was left in no man's land with regard to the shape of the back four. Sometimes way too ahead, sometimes not close enough to his partner.

For the first goal scored by Abraham too, he signaled an offside trap to his fellow defenders, but forgot to move ahead in time himself. As a result, Abraham was quickly played in and from there on, the Lille defenders had absolutely no chance.

Poor, poor decision making from the former Southampton center-half.
