Alvaro Morata isn't the right starting striker for Chelsea, if we plan on competing in EPL and CL

Morata isn't as good as the rest of Chelsea's squad.
I've watched every minute Morata played in a Chelsea jersey and prayed for him not to turn out a flop. Most of the fans and critics praise his stats, goals scored and assists, however in my opinion he is only good to be our back up striker.
He is too soft for EPL and CL. For example, in the game vs Swansea, he fell as many times as he touched the ball and the ref didn't buy his bs. For Chelsea's #1 striker he barely made any opportunities/ good shots on target. Mo Salah scored two goals as sub in 20min....Morata did nothing the whole game. As a matter of fact, every time Tbo kicks the ball to the other half and Morata is supposed to hold up play - the same outcome occurs. The defender overpowers Morata 99% of the times, we lose the ball and that is it.
There are times where he plays on a world class level, however his inconsistency will cause Chelsea wins each and every game. Chelsea deserves a striker way better than a clumsy nice guy Morata, both in dribbling, shots, power, hold up play, runs etc. (Didier) It is crazy to think how much better our team would be if we had for example Harry Kane as a striker. I truly believe that Morata is our weakest link. Sometime, I'd even prefer playing Michy instead of AM, due to his quickness and ability to be at the right place and at the right time.
As January window coming up soon, Chelsea really needs to acquire a world class striker to have any chance in the CL..maybe Aubameyang, maybe someone else. But with Alvaro starting every game....
I honestly hope I am wrong.
In Conte we trust.
