When the ball goes to the wing with this side, I really wonder what the players think is going to happen if they keep doing the same thing over and over, waiting, dwelling, waiting.  Do we just need better center midfielders for interplay, or is Hazard just doing the wrong thing repeatedly?

Clearly nothing happens between Hazard and Matic. goes nowhere.

Hazard has got the ball on numerous occasions and slowed play down instead of driving at players. We have pinched the ball a number of times in that half in key areas for certain players to slow down the tempo instead of driving at people.

Delighted to be winning 1-0 but the lack of drive, energy and commitment from some is very plain to see.

You're right in saying we don't know what happens in training but if he impressed during the week, he'd receive chances in games. Instead we don't see him for weeks/months and if we see him, it's usually a short cameo.

I think he needs to go out on loan and learn how to truly compete. Let him go somewhere, secure a place in the first XI, keep it and perform the required level (at the very least).

I guess you´re right. I always get worried when our young talents join the loan army. It tends to become a loop of 3 years in loan and then they leave.

Traore's development only confirms my belief of Loftus-Cheek simply failing to impress, in training and on the pitch. He's hailed by many fans as the next big thing but he's done nothing to deserve such immense praise. Traore on the otherhand has impressed and he's been given chances because of it. Loftus-Cheek still has a way to go. His talent is obvious but he's still lacking mentally and tactically. That's my view anyway.

Traore has really surprised me. I never thought he'd have any kind of impact here. And I think that would've been the case under Mourinho. Hiddink took a chance, Traore took it and Chelsea seem to be reaping the rewards.

That goal was a thing of beauty. Great quick thinking, good control and a wicked shot. Poor defending tbh but he took them by surprise. You don't expect that from a striker, especially one so young. He should be proud of that.

I can only hope this is the start of something wonderful. Chelsea possess some precocious talent. Would be a shame if they didn't realise their potential at this club. Their club. Our club.

Win this and make it four in a row, boys. Come on, Chels

People used to bang on about Josh mceachran, now playing for Brentford? People like to hype up young players so much you'd think they were their own child.

Matic?? 

Matic played well enough, recover a few loose balls.  Good pass to traore 

Not so sure. Had a spell where he lost the ball 3 consecutive times trying a simple pass.

Also, he has been absolutely bossed by Imbula.

Him being given too much at such a young age messed him up. This is why I was slightly irritated about the reported wages he was getting. Hopefully he keeps level headed.
