Michy Batshuayi

[El P. 1,354]

We need new striker in January.

[Tautvix 1,321]

Michy is the reason we must have bought a striker...

No offence to the guy but that was very very poor.

[Abreu03 292]

He's not a striker. Second striker, maybe. That's the reality.
 
It's not useful for the team.

Honestly, how have we allowed ourselves to go into the season, with the Champions League this time, with only 2 strikers? Such poor planning!

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Very poor performance again. Michy Is such a lamp-post up front, just standing still making the opposing CB's job that much easier. He needs to desperately stop pinning his CB's because he's not winning those physical battles and his 1-touch flick ons are constantly getting blocked.

Has got to start coming deep if he wants to link-up play and get in behind. Because It's just too easy for the opposition right now.

Get ready for False 9 Eden Hazard when Morata eventually has to miss a game and the opponent is not Qarabag level quality. 

Desperately need a 2nd Striker that Conte can rely upon.

I expect Costa to play at some point before moving on.

[blueblood22 50]

he need hours and hours of work in the jym and stop expecting the ref to give him every call...

For me, he has to go in January and if not he wont have any sort of future here next year if he is going to play that poorly against that level of opposition.

Sloppy on the ball, can't run in behind defences or even make obvious runs off the ball? Also does he not look extremely slow?

It is a big season for him this year but if he continues to get chances up to January and plays that poorly he'll be off before he knows it. Let's hope Costa comes back and gets his arse in gear incase Morata gets injured.

If we let him go in January, who on earth are we going to get? No one is going to sell us their best striker mid-season unless we pay silly money.

You're being really optimistic there. Costa has been hell bent on doing every thing he can to leave for Atletico and Conte has offered no suggestion whatsoever that he'll welcome him back to the team. And not to mention, whenever Conte gets asked about Costa in his press conference, the questions get swatted away by Steve Atkins.

Barca have 2 strikers, Real have 1, Juventus have 2, Bayern have 1, City have 2..
