Antonio Conte’s side were in action this evening in Austria as we beat local team Atus Ferlach 8-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly.The game gave Conte the opportunity to provide certain members of his squad with valuable minutes and it was LoicRemywho opened the scoring following good build-up play betweenJohn Mikel ObiandRubenLoftus-Cheek.A deflectedMikelstrike andRemy’s second, a fierce drive from outside the box, made it 3-0 to the Blues at half-time.There were six changes at the break as some of the players who joined up with the squad this week were introduced and one of those,Michy Batshuayi, scored with his first touch afterLoftus-Cheek’s strike was parried into his path.Another substitute,Pedro, scored twice, with Batshuayi adding his second in between the Spaniard’s strikes.Remythen completed his hat-trick, and the scoring, from an impressive Cuadrado delivery in what was a productive outing for the Blues.First half team: Blackman,Azpilicueta, Miazga, Hector,Baba Rahman,Kenedy,Mikel, Chalobah,Atsu,Loftus-Cheek,Remy.Second half team: Blackman, Cuevas,Cahill, Miazga (Chalobah),Baba, Cuadrado,Fabregas,Mikel,Pedro,Loftus-Cheek(Remy), Batshuayi.Goals: Remy(11, 41, 81),Mikel(35),Batshuayi (49, 67),Pedro(56, 76)Share this article

he scores when no one is watching. stealing the headline from Remy

highlights anywhere?

No. Behind closed doors match.

The only player I don't know is Cuevas. Anyone have info on him?

This was an interesting group of squad players participating. It doesn't sound like a testing game for the defenders - but I am interested to find out more about Miazga and Hector. Not sure which of the younger guys will make it. Jury is still out on Baba too.

In central midfield we played Mikel & Chalobah first half and Mikel & Fabregas second half. With Kante arriving, I'd have to think that Mikel will be a squad player (if he's prepared to continue there), but I'm interested to discover if Chalobah is good enough for a defensive midfield position.

Wingers - as much as he frustrates me, Pedro definitely knows how to score goals. He's a bit like Schurrle - frequently does the wrong thing, but he does have a cutting edge.
I'd like to think Conte knows how to get the best out of Cuadrado - although I haven't been impressed with the little I've seen.
I have been impressed with Kenedy - I hope this is his year to cement a place in the team. I think he has lots of potential.Speed, strength, skill - and he can play as a wing-back too. Decision making could improve - hopefully Conte can help him there.
Atsu is a strange one. He was ACON player of the tournament, but hasn't managed to cement a place in any team in the premier league. He has potential, but I'm not holding out too much hope.

RLC - he has been playing just off the striker so far. I know he has bags of potential, but he still has a lot of work to do before he convinces me that he deserves a starting position. Hopefully Conte knows best.

Strikers - I am really excited about Batshuayi. Pace, skill, strength, finishing - he's got it all.
And as terrible as Remy has been in a Chelsea shirt - he also knows how to find the back of the net. Perhaps we shouldn't judge him on last season - he was injured a lot.

However, out of all those players, I can really only see Azpi, Fabregas and Batshuayi is first team players.
