Chelsea 3-1 Sporting Lisbon: Initial reaction and community player ratings form

Another successful European night at Stamford Bridge.  Back on the trail of fun and winning!

A few thoughts:

• Mikel scores when he wants.
• Filipe Luis was quite good in the first half, I felt, but he was distinctly subpar in the second.
• Diego Costa was quite poor for most of the first half, but improved as the game went along.
• Everybody else: job well done.
• Zouma's continuing to improve with every passing game.
• Big fan of the 4-3-3; the midfield trio of Matic-Mikel-Cesc was enjoyable.
• Ruben Loftus-Cheek!  Ten minutes on his Chelsea debut; lots of composed touches, one not so composed (the first one).  One tremendous interception and one heavy foul suffered.  And one offside.  Good times.
