Michy Batshuayi

Can visualize 2 different angles:

Conte thinking WTF Michy, why didnt you score for us? 

Board members dancing as Batshuayi stocks are going up with every game ... chance to make more profit 

 

... And the fans all confused!!!

That’s 3 angles actually, counting the confused one.

not really.. sometimes numbers and eyeballs tell different stories.Like he can score goals like a lot of other strikers out there. And he is just isn’t good enough.

 difficult to know whether Belgium will make due with either, but my money is on that neither will be good enough for them.

He's a good fit for them. He wasn't a good fit for us. Being Chelsea's striker involves a lot more than scoring goals. You cannot score forever in order to compensate the lack of power, ball control and personality that he showed here. 

I am confident that this loan will make him better. It was not a mistake at all. It was the best thing that could be done.

Agreed. Winning a title in your first year with a team that came 10th the year before sealed that deal. 

Terrible at identifying talent. Terrible man management. Poor team selections. Poor tactics. So what, he got lucky with the league when we didn’t have European fixtures, but now he is taking us backwards.

Agree with you, but we digress this is the Meechy thread mate.

He had a good game overall but also ...

 

When you sum the team values of Hamburg and Atalanta you get something like Southampton or West Ham. I am glad that he is scoring goals but I will be more impressed when he plays well against better oppositions.

Conte has done a lot of things i don't like this season but you are talking rubbish saying he got lucky with the title last time out.

Seems like Conte made Moses into what he is at RWB. Got the best out of Pedro. Took Alonso and made him an important piece. Placed Azpi at CB where he has played even better than he did as a full back. Gave Christensen a spot in the team immediately when he deserved it.

So uncovered talent with Moses and Christensen. Won the title yet has terrible man management. Team selection... he literally had to place Moses and Azpi into roles they hadn't played before when he got here and won the title.

Yeah. Again. I agree. He sucks...

Batshuayi admits that belief has been returned to his game, with Chelsea having prevented him from building up any momentum during his time in England.

“It wasn’t always easy at Chelsea. I’m now playing with a lot of confidence,” he told Sporzaafter bagging a brace in a 3-2 Europa League win for Dortmund over Atalanta on Thursday.

“Sitting on the bench, score a goal and then back to the bench is quite difficult to deal with for an attacker.”

He's a good finisher granted, but that's about all, and in a team like ours which is more defensive in it's approach, he would often be a liability, because you gotta contribute something more than that, in our teams Strikers don't have the Liberty to be just poachers.

All is said. Bats is a great young player with past achievements in Belgium and France and he will success in Germany as well. Conte preferred to humiliate him instead and eventually kicked him out as he did with Diego. Hopefully, Abramovich was not that stupid and blocked permanent move. Conte has his preferences, Morata, Bakayoko, Cahill, fair enough, but he will be accountable at the end.

And what was Conte supposed to do? Bench Costa, one of the best strikers in the world because Batshuayi scored against Brendford in the FA Cup? Or bench Morata, who's clearly a more useful player than Michy and has been consistent in his game ever since his debut? 

Batshuayi's problem is that he was not good enough to be the main striker. You cannot score sitters against Bristol and then expect to be in the first 11 the week after. He needs to become consistent, strong and to get shit done when no one else can. He had his chances to do that, but he never did. Even when he scored (like the brace against Newcastle), his display was poor, no involvement whatsoever, no strength. 

Maybe he's never going to make it here, maybe we're not a good fit for him. Who knows? But blaming Conte for not playing Bats over Costa or Morata is naive in my opinion. No manager in the world would've done that.
