Nando Watch is a weekly post chronicling Fernando Torres' performance during his second season at Chelsea. Considering his one goal debut season for the club, the only way he can go during this season is up. This week we'll cover week 3's match against Sunderland

Oh, Fernando. Another scoreless week has passed you by. With Didier Drogba out with a nasty injury and Juan Mata selected as the starting striker over Torres, Torres came on in the 73rd minute to replace Mata and turned in another scoreless performance for Chelsea. No worries. John Terry and Daniel Sturridge turned in the goals for this match to bring about a win for The Blues.
Another goalless appearance for Fernando Torres could spell trouble for the striker, as Andres Villas-Boas has clearly stated the Spanish striker will have to fight for his position on the squad. Also being snubbed by Spain's head coach Vincente del Bosque during the international break sends a clear message.
No one loses their talent or skill on the pitch. Torres is suffering a lack of confidence that has been evident through his time at Liverpool, the 2010 World Cup, and since his signing at Chelsea. Torres has struggled to prove his worth for The Blues, but it is early in the season still. We can only hope Torres will receive some sort of confidence boost before AVB decides he is not a valuable asset to the team after all.
Next week is another match and another chance to rack up a goal or two.
