There was a disappointing ending to our midweek Premier League fixture, when two lapses by Chelsea allowed Leeds United to fight-back from two goals down to leave the points shared at the final whistle.

Despite that, Rosenior had already explained at the end of the game that outside of the brief spell which resulted in Leeds’ two goals, he had seen positive signs this Chelsea side are beginning to display the football he wants to see from them on the pitch.

One of those positives to take away from a tough evening at Stamford Bridge was the performance of Joao Pedro, who scored a brilliant first goal and earned the penalty for Cole Palmer to slot in our second from the spot.

That took the Brazilian to 21 goal involvements so far in his debut season with the Blues, his 13 goals and eight assists in all competitions both the highest in our squad. With four goals and four assists across our last five Premier League games alone, Joao Pedro is certainly catching the eye at the moment.

‘He’s a top player, he always has been,’ said Rosenior. ‘Speaking to the guys, I know how hard the club worked to bring him here, because he had that potential and he’s now starting to show that.

‘Some of the play, some of the movement and the patterns during the first half were everything I wanted to see. Joao suits the way I want to play down to the ground.

‘Even at the end, his energy levels to create the chances for himself in the second half that he did, he’s really unfortunate with the header [that hit the crossbar]. He’s showing an energy, intensity and quality of a really high level.’

There were also further signs of the growing relationship between Joao Pedro and Palmer, as they combined for both our goals. There were more than a few similarities between the first and the Brazilian's goal against Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup final. It wasn’t just those two players’ performances that Rosenior was able to take positives from, though.

Our head coach was also keen to highlight the link-up play involving several players in our attacks against Leeds as examples of what he wants to see from his team, even if his main emotion after the game remained one of frustration.

‘It wasn’t just those two,’ he continued. ‘Enzo [Fernandez] and Estevao [Willian], Andrey [Santos] and Moi [Caicedo] in midfield, Malo Gusto’s runs from the back line, Pedro Neto was combining with Malo and Moi in the second half. I want them all to collect and combine, that’s the way I want to play.

‘In the first half some of the moments were really enjoyable to watch. That’s why it’s so frustrating that I’m not talking about that more because we should have three points in our pocket and be talking about the positives from that performance.

‘Anything can happen in football when you don’t take care of key moments, that’s why we watch the game, but I hope people can see the progression already, considering we’ve played 10 games in 32 days.

‘There’s a change in the things I want to see, but what I really want to see is three points on the board every week.’

There are no points on offer in Chelsea’s next match, when we travel away to Hull City in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday evening, but the task Rosenior gives his players will be clear. Build on those combinations, cut out the moments which cost us against Leeds and book our place in the last 16 of club football’s oldest knockout competition.
