Brilliant that we have several names to choose from tonight. Take your pick.

Where's the John Obi option?  I demand my right to vote!

I'd love to give it to Shuurle for a decent performance but Mata had a great game and Ramires just has to get the vote...he attacks he defends, I think he'd run back to the dressing room and get the rest of the boys shin pads if they forgot them, his little dink finishes make a mockery of his poor first touch.

Ramires for me, was superb all game in both attack and defence. Schurrle played well but he was facing a RB who didn't even know what day it was nevermind his defensive duties. 

Ramires.

 

Let's close this thread before somebody embarrasses themselves.

I voted Schurrle

Same as Chippy, would love to give it to Schurrle as he was fantastic and has come in for some unfair criticism by dickheads that expect players to score hattricks on their debut. He showed what he can do tonight, and worked incredibly hard.

 

However, Ramires was on another planet. Superb performance in every aspect.

I'm torn between Mata, Schurrle and Ramires as each put in an excellent performance tonight. Schurrle was remarkably dangerous with his incessant running, and made a great defensive contribution, however his passing and finishing were fairly poor. Mata was brilliant as ever and omnipresent in attack, but I think I will have to give it to Ramires, who made the difference not only with his goalscoring but in winning back the ball time and again which enabled us to keep control of the game.

Schurrle or Ramires, they were both great tonight. I want to see Ramires keep it up though, too many times we have seen him play really well and then have a run of average games for us.

Going to give my vote to Schurrle, stepped up in Hazard's absence and was causing problems all night and had a big hand in two of the goals.

It makes me wonder why we haven't seen this side of Hazard this season. Everything Schurrle was doing tonight i have been waiting to see from Hazard all season. Hes a better finisher and passer than Schurrle so i don't understand why Hazard isn't performing at the same level. Maybe it's because it's still early in the season. He did play in petty much all of our friendlies though so really Hazard should be match fit by now.

Ramires, impeccable work-rate all match long, deserved his two goals. Has proven to be an important player for the club since his arrival, even though he usually goes unnoticed.

Rambo coming to the rescue

remember the S.A.H.B any body ?

Brilliant that we have several names to choose from tonight. Take your pick.

well imo there were two, three at the most to choose from and no that does not include lampard even though he scored! ramires a player who as recently as last season was having his existence in the team questioned by some on here (they know who they are). Very happy for schurrle also,im always glad when a player who has been at the club for two minutes (and has been prematurely condemned as not being  'chelsea quality' by some) plays well.

I still question it, but then he will put in a performance like tonight. He's got to keep putting in the performances though and stop having all these off days.

Ramires for me. Run all night and two well taken goals. Well played Mata, Schurrle and Lamps also.

Schurrle breezed past the RB all night long but Ramires the star for sure.

Schurrle

Schurrle for providing that attacking impetus. He's a great counterattacking player. Doesn't mind a left-footed cross, unlike Hazard.

Ramires for me 

 

Impeccable work rate and determination throughout... Schurrle would be close second!

Thought Mata, Luiz, and Schurrle all did well but Ramires gets it for me. Proved again just how important he is to our side last night.

That turn by Schurrle to spring open the break for the 3rd goal was simply brilliant. I doubt many defenders could have stopped him on that play. Zie German has my vote.

Ramires.

Ramires over Schurrle.  Two goals and an excellent all round display.  Schurrle was good but he was up against a comedy fullback.

Schurrle for me, special mentions for Ramires and Mata.
