Sell him
Quality finishing, let's hope it carries on
This was one lethal hattrick.
That is some midfield though.
So is he good again or still shit?

Well, to be fair, he's now got to prove he can continue this form over a longer period of time. I imagine that's what his detractors will say - doesn't make them haters. But still, brilliant for him to get three goals, almost got a 4th too!
Yeah he would, but it would mean signing a player who is too good, to be spending too much time on the bench. We are going to be playing with one striker. The majority of the games will be with Rooney, so we just need a back up striker.
Depends on Swansea Sunday!
Bit difficult to draw many conclusions from this.
It's obviously fantastic that Rooney has got his finishing back. Nobody should underestimate how good that is.
However, I'll be very interested to see what he's like against another PL side next time. Brugge are a bit pants and Rooney has a lot more space than most games.

Ya that's a fair point.
Three in five so far this season. Great scoring rate, hope he keeps up his good form through the season.
Great finishing today but he needs to do this consistently.
Delighted for him after all the sniping and 'he's finished' nonsense. Not going to get carried away though, these guys are village, relatively speaking.
I think he will.
The Caf is in reverse meltdown now. Just wait until our next 0-0.He's been great tonight, to be fair. I think LVG has told him to stop dropping deep and just let the midfield deal with things. He hasn't looked this eager to score in a very long time.
one more and he can match Falcao's whole last year output 
It's not easy to score 3 goals in training so fair play to him, hope he builds on it!
Did not want him to start. Has proved many people (me included) wrong. Excellently taken goals, all of them.
4-0 Herrera, what a cracking night!
one more and he can match Falcao's whole last year output
I hope he gets 20+ games for Chelsea
Proven me wrong tonight. I thought Chicharito should've started.
Great to see him scoring again. Hope this gives him enough confidence to also be successful in the league. I don't want to diminish his success but it's still only Bruges he has scored against so I'm not getting my hopes up too much but still positive he will perform a lot better from now on.
Done very well tonight so let's start the Fellaini 9 experiment please. Keep him fresh for Sunday.
his movement and decision making has been really good. first touch is coming back aswell. He always was a fantastic finisher. Even without the goals hes done as good as can be expected from striker position
You know what Wayne? You may have just done enough to keep your place in my Fantasy team this weekend. Calm the feck down though you won't be the captain.
Baffled he didn't take the penalty. I know there's a hierarchy and all that I doubt Hernandez is on top of that.

yeah just real odd. Get his confidence back to sky high levels with a fourth should have been the obvious.
He gave it to Hernandez so he gets a goal as well. I thought that was very nice of him, shame it was missedBaffled he didn't take the penalty. I know there's a hierarchy and all that I doubt Hernandez is on top of that.
3 goals in 5 matches
Exactly what we needed from him tonight. I think many of us know that his very best days are probably gone footballing wise, but he showed tonight that he's certainly still capable of being a very good goalscorer when on form. If he can keep that up and remain fit, hopefully we won't have too many problems up front. Hopefully...
Very happy for him, hope this performance gives him bags of confidence and he can kick off right away against Swansea because we'll need him to.
Rooney is only about 18 penalty misses from being back on top of the pecking order now.Baffled he didn't take the penalty. I know there's a hierarchy and all that I doubt Hernandez is on top of that.
I hope he'll continue this in the PL. Played like a proper striker tonight finally.
He really needed a performance like that. It wasn't only his goals, he was great all over the pitch by actually contributing to attacks.
Once he started scoring, it felt like his whole game began to improve as his confidence had been boosted. Positive to see.
Played well tonight .Took his three goals very well.But i'll wait to see how he goes in the PL against Swansea.
Fantastic tonight, hopefully he can build on this performance.
