zakhov 253 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Needs to realize he's better off as a super sub against top flight teams. Sure he can bag goals against minnows but seems to lack the basic elements of being a striker. Hold up play is poor, doesn't press or be a nuisance to opposition defenders..it's really easy to take him out of the game. Should recall Abraham in Jan, we just can't cut it with him backing up Morata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah let’s recall somebody who’s played almost every game at Swansea to sit on the bench and only play 10-20 mins a game or if Morata, a player with a pretty good record with injuries, gets injured. I agree we need someone else but wouldn’t want to see Tammys development ruined for the sake of 10 games a season instead of 35-40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it would be somewhat silly/irresponsible/cruel to recall the latter and expect him to do well whenever Morata isn't playing. More beneficial long term if he stays where he is right now.

Styles 9,790 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I would genuinely rather have a 40 year old Drogba lead the line. The Burnley game told us everything. This guy is pure trash. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, but I'm not sure we should buy somebody else as It'll hurt Tammy's chances further next season. It's either now or never and it's up to Conte and Tammy. But for heaven's sake, just give him a chance. He might end up like Chalobah or Ake if he knows there's going to be another striker in our books and him going further down the pecking order. Bats is a decent striker (I personally think he's better if he plays alongside another striker) but up front on his own? The way he was taken out of the game was eerily similar to the Burnley game on opening day. If only we played Qarabag and Forest every week.

King11Didier 916 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 People were qustioning me when I said we need 3rd stiker and said that Morata and Bars are more than enough for the season. Yeah, sure, I can see now... I just hope Morata can come back 100% fit as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conte doesn’t rate Batshuayi, that much was clear when he pretty much refused to start him during Diego’s half year absence. Don’t like Conte’s treatment of Batshuayi at all. So do you still insist on the treatment thing? Bats is a fucking shit player + Conte never asked to join the team at the first place. Conte is a top manager and Bats is a funny kid being in a place he doesn't belong, earning money he doesn't deserve. I wouldn't be nice to him either. Shitty player.

Polo7 3,496 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Barely touched the ball yet he screams when he sees the sub board. Great on Twitter and awful on the field. Sell asap. Reddish-Blue and 11Drogba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,907 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He's currently a good poacher from inside the box but that's about it. He needs a good season long loan at a decent sized club to develop his all around game. The drop off in quality between our strikers is too big for a club like this. City have two strikers in Jesus and Aguero who will each probably score 20 and United have Lukaku and soon Zlatan who can do the same. If Morata goes out for a lengthy period we're fucked. Yet another failure by the board this past summer. communicate, Blusan Alamb and 11Drogba 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Belgian reacted poorly when he was substituted early in the second half. “I didn’t see this,” Conte said. “But it is normal to be angry after a bad performance – but every player had a bad performance.” Conte was evasive when asked if he has faith in Batshuayi’s ability. “I trust in every player and try to give everyone the opportunity to take the chance. But also because we have Morata and then Batshuayi. The performance of the whole team was bad. Not one or two players.” Blusan Alamb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what he’s like in training etc. then I expected too much from Michy I guess, and Conte’s right - looks like Michy is better off somewhere else where he’ll play all the time.

the wes 7,212 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 When you are playing in a team like Chelsea your movement has to be first-class up front but there was no real dynamic movement anywhere for someone to find him.

He's better off playing week in week out (like Christensen) then coming back and 'waiting' for injuries like Ake last season. Surely we can find a stop-gap for a season or two...
