Chelsea hero Nevin: Willian, Jorginho reborn under Lampard

Chelsea hero Pat Nevin says Willian and Jorginho are "reborn" under Frank Lampard.

The Scot also credited the work rate of Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham for helping the Blues win their last three out of four games.

"There is a great affinity being built between our fans and the players just now," Nevin told the official Chelsea website.

"We know the initial reasons; this is Frank's team so we are bound to be on board, the kids coming through are our kids so once again we are onside. 'But look around and consider everyone else and the obvious work-rate and spirit from them, it has been superb this season even during the tougher times.

"Take Jorginho, the statistics alone will tell you about his incredible work-rate but it is his passion for every tackle and every chase that shines almost as much as his ability on the ball. Willian obviously is reborn as well but try thinking of someone in the group that isn't giving everything for every moment, it is impossible.

"Tammy Abraham works until his legs run out and is often replaced but that is a positive sign that he is giving everything, not a negative one that he is playing badly. 'There looks as though there are two Mason Mounts on the field most weeks as he seems to have the ability to turn up everywhere. On top of that have a look at the attitude of those coming off the bench. None of the subs are giving anything less than everything they have, whether it is for 30 minutes or 10."
