Álvaro Morata

[Pizy 18,368]

Immedietly strikes you after watching Costa for so long and Batshuayi recently how silky Morata is on the ball. Proper footballer rather than a battering ram. Goal scorer but also a creator.

We have to make sure not to get carried away, but damn did he look excellent.

Assuming you're talking about the offside goal? May need to watch the replay again but think Christensen's shot was going a tad wide. At least it's good that he attacked the ball though. Too often we have seen players just stand still and not gamble on a shot/pass/cross in situations like that.

Totally agree am not making much judgment of this team until hazard and bakayoko are in the team. Rudigur should start his passing range is outstanding.

I am out of the words, my God! This defeat would be so bad if it wasn't for his performance!

My takeaway from those videos is that I need to watch more football games with French commentary.

What can I say? I love Moratita

Indeed. 

My biggest hope is he evolves into something like RVP.

Well done lad. Amazing how fast he is, when Willian made the cross, he just appeared out of somewhere and smacked it in. Really happy to have such a pacy forward, we lacked that since...mm...did we ever have a pacy forward?

Looks like the aerial threat we've been missing for quite some time... looking good indeed!

If only we had players who can deliver him balls.... Alonso is a great crosser but does not have the acceleration to beat his marker to get one in whilst Moses has that acceleration but can't cross. Pedro, Willian and Hazard do not usually play crosses, that leaves Azpi.

Oh really? And yeah agreed. Anyway good signs, Michy still needs work but I guess Remy is here to fill the third striker void lol? 

Anyway best of shitty situation allowed Morata, Christensen and Rudiger to make solid debuts.

Should have been torres. But he was never the same after that injury.

Sturridge had blistering pace.

AlsoEto'o Hasselbaink, Anelka, Kalou were quite nippy. Remy is blessed with extraordinary pace too. He could have gone on to become a great striker if he had managed to not get injured every other game and learned the offside rule.

Loved his performance, effort and attitude. Not the mentally weak boy we feared he was. bounced back from that penalty miss immediately. He might very well be the man we need. Lets hope he can start next match, score again and put his doubters to shame. 

A-fuckin-men
