Depends if Roberto gets the job or not. So far, Nando has put more work into his performances under Roberto then with either AvB or Carlo, and i could see some buys happening in shape of Hazard, etc. but it does really depend on if he gets the job. Personally, i see no reason why he shouldn't, his work has gotten us results from the get go, and there is an admition of respect throughtout the locker-room because he is someone with a past at the club.

The motivation key: "Either you score, or i am going to let Luiz be you hair-stylist!"

Roberto really has seem to brought out another side in Nando, how many assists has he gotten under his regime? Add the three goals, and maybe there is a few more between now and the end of the season

Time for a nice reminder that we are still alive and kicking in the Premier League. We need to add some pressure at least on the fourth spot, then just giving in. Would rather lose the fourth spot with an amazing run of wins during the climax, then lying back and taking a beating.

I think Josh and Lucas can. But, Lucas isn't on loan and seems to be the only viable competition for the 'role' of being the back-up to Mata.

Was shoked to see him on the team sheet on the BBC website. Maybe he could get somemore minutes with Roberto in charge.

I am sure i read somewhere about how he is happy to have a manager that believes in him or something, which could be a main factor for his sudden rise in confidence. Hopefully this would give him more of a sharpness in hisgame, and some few goals benefit from it. I still believe he could add something - but it is more down to making his mark before the marksman sets his target.

*cough* Piazon *cough*

Mata

Torres playing well Link for the rest of the game please

Fix'd it

I will the majority of this game due to a performance i am doing, but will be looking forward to a brilliantly-written and sexy match report from our local Alex

Could be essential to our development next season, hopefully our next manager has a brain cell and gives him a chance - he could also help tempt Hazard to come as well!

With the way things are turning, it could be either or, at this moment of time - i see us played Europa football, unless in some form or another some wizard's magic is on our side and we win the Champions League. There is heart from our players when it really REALLY matters, but seems to be inconsistent enough to ensure some kind of form. Then again, i am only speculating - maybe some Wizard's magic might happen, but as things stand, we aren't going in the right direction in the two way spectrum. As for the team, hopefully if we do fail (IF being thee important word there) to qualify for CL, then the manager will be forced to test the waters with the youth, or something among those lines. We need an overhaul, but it would be the grand oppertunity for some youth to finally dip there toes into the Chelsea first team pond. Lukaku has scored a large amount of reserve goals and is way too experienced for reserve games, playing against European teams that don't have the same power as Barcalona might give them more chances.

Couldn't happen to any others guys who deserve it more! Congrats!

I would love to get Hoilett here, a brilliant prospect and would be a 'Fergie' signing, that he would sign a 'lower' player and then play him and he would trun out to be brilliant. Another player who has that potential is Victor Moses, who is easily the best player at Wigan, and he is also English which would add a little more to the transfer.

He has done brilliant so far, and if he can get Torres scoring again, i think the big mad Russian might give 'em some time longer.

Nice to see him play with some confidence!

Great support for him - seems like some fans still want him to be a success here, unlike most on here....

any chance of a highlight of the game with his goals?

So did Torres play well, or what?

The problem is that after a few games, Torres becomes complacent and his effort isn't as maximised as it was like last night. With the right tactics, yes they could play together and potentially, they could play well, but it isn't 100% guranteed that is will be the same 100% in every game!

We did seem to play a 4-4-2 diamond in the latter stages of the game, with Lamps on the left, Rambo on the right, and Malouda playing behind Nando and Didi, but soon gotten deeper. Think they could actually play together, if the midfeild is chosen right and with the right motivation- which i think under Roberto, could actually work well!

Nice to see his work rate, too bad he can't score though. Think he might need to get some tips from Kalou about that....
