"Joao Pedro is enjoying life under Liam Rosenior. The versatile Brazil forward was excellent after coming on at half-time against West Ham. Joao Pedro, who has five goals in his last five games, helped Chelsea complete their comeback from 2-0 down by scoring his side's first and then creating Enzo Fernandez's stoppage-time winner. Chelsea chose well when they beat Newcastle to the signing of the 24-year-old from Brighton last summer."
"Joao Pedro was excellent at the Club World Cup, but despite dealing with fitness issues has still has 12 goals in all competitions this season. Capable of playing as either a No 9 or a No 10, the Brazilian was important for Enzo Maresca but has improved since the Italian's departure. I've had very, very good conversations with him already, probably four in my office, Rosenior said last week. I think he's sick of my office, where I've said to him If you play with intensity with your quality, the quality comes out'."
Joao Pedro has hit strong form under Liam Rosenior, scoring five goals in five matches and contributing to Chelsea's comeback versus West Ham with a goal and a created stoppage-time winner. The 24-year-old, signed from Brighton after interest from Newcastle, has 12 goals this season despite fitness issues and can operate as a No 9 or No 10. Rosenior has repeatedly urged greater intensity paired with quality, which appears to be prompting improvement. At Arsenal, Noni Madueke replaced Bukayo Saka and assisted, while Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus scored in a 4-0 win that eased pressure on the forwards.
