morata is not a target man... that would have been lukaku.

morata is a player who will, hopefully, enable his attacking teammates to do more and score more.

that lukaku cannot do.

point being that the club made a choice on how to play rather than on merely picking one striker vs another.

Morata is the type of striker that most people on here have been talking about when slagging off Costa. Give him time, he will come good.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Costa was and will still really perfect for us. Not sure about Lukaku.

He needs to get that 1st goal under his belt quick the longer morata doesn't get a goal the more he will started to lose his confidence so Mr conte please started with him against Burnley

This thread is beyond pathetic. People are actually calling him Torres #2 for 20 minutes of play where he was completely isolated upfront and a penalty he missed. What would you expect Morata to do in this situation? He did all he could in winning multiple headers - which Costa never did - and he was unfortunate that he missed a penalty, which everyone does. 

In fact I found that he was quite good given the circumstance he was in. He's just been super unlucky this pre season. Getting played out on the wing a lot and the one time he gets to be a lone forward he is so isolated because the team is down a man and is parking the bus. 

Not to mention some on this forum are calling him out for his 'weak mentality'. What nonsense.  Is that solely because he's good looking? Because the boy has a very good record in the Champions League and has overall proved himself to be a big performer in big games. Apparently 20 minutes isolated upfront is a more accurate sample size than his record in the past 3 seasons.

You don't belong here with your sensible and well thought out posts.

This, after the amount of complained i heard about costa last season now we have a striker who is good in the air unlike costa, has good touch unlike costa, does not lose control of the ball a lot unlike Costa, yet we are stil complaining

The last Spanish striker we signed was Costa and scored his debut goal against Burnley, our first game is against Burnley Morata.....

Main thing I hope Morata does well is create good link up play with Hazard. That's Costa's biggest drawback in this team, the amount of times he would mess up a 1-2 with Hazard or make the wrong decision in their build up play was tiresome. Not since Eto'o have we had a striker who was on the same level as Hazard when it came to making opportunities for one another. We'll obviously miss the physicality in-you-face attitude of Costa but I'm happy to forego those if it means Hazard, Pedro, Willian and Morata are scoring a proportionate amount to see us succeed. 

I dream to see goals like this where our CF is on song with our more naturally creative and decisive players.

So tl;dr: Idc if Morata doesn't score 30 goals a season as long as he makes the team more fluid and suited to Hazard

I also see people were complaining about his miss in the CS.  Personally, I thought it was a very difficult chance.  If that's disappointing, then what would happen if he did this:

[Adnane 1,101]

He also confirmed that he wasn't aware of Conte's interest in him this summer, and that Chelsea directly became his preference when he knew.

Great attitude there. Hopefully it could paid off, and he can succeed here.
