Álvaro Morata

[Jase 43,479]

A tad dodgy with his touches today, looked uncertain, ran out of the steam in the second half again. On the positive side, got another goal and an assist and link up the play pretty decent at times. Still a work in progress but there are promising signs.

Anyone still think he is Kezman 4.0?

What do you mean?

[Jase 43,479]

And all with his head

[Blusan Alamb 295]

He was average, but got a goal and an assist.

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Average performance but still a well taken goal and assist. Once he is fully fit and embedded in the team he will take some stopping. Fast, good movement and link ipnplay, great in the air, good on the ball. There are not many strikers like this out there.

[termninja 5,290]

Average game in terms of playing football, but hell yeah I'll take that always if it means he's gonna score and make an assist  Needs to improve his fitness a lot I think, but it's good that he's impacting games this early in his Chelsea career, media vultures will not make Torres comparisons to put pressure on him now.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Morata's movement in the box is pure quality. You can tell he's trained with some of the best strikers in the game, Ronaldo for example; They way Morata attacks the ball on crosses really remind me of Ronaldo's movement in similar situations.

I had my doubts but I think he'll become a top striker, if he isn't there or on the brink of it. Fast, strong, good link-up play and decent at holding the ball - he can improve in this aspect -, and very solid finishing.

I can't wait till he plays with Eden. Eden to break his goal tally for the club once again, imagine what he's capable of in terms of numbers when he has a striker who won't screw up a simple one-two almost every time. The Belgian thrives on link-up play.

I feel that he wouldnt be effective in a single striker setup ... However, he will thrive with a 2 striker strategy or along side a attacking midfielder who wouldnt drift behind to defend. He has good movement in the box and eye for goal but he cant do a Costa for us if that is the expectation.  

[Special Juan 27,424]

He's one of those players that might be quiet for 70 minutes and then a ball behind or over the top and he scores, his movement is excellent.

He's unselfish, he's good at what he does and he is a lethal threat in the air.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He's clearly still adjusting to the league (though the ref today was practically taking the piss all the fouls he was not giving him). He's also still also building chemistry and learning how to linkup with his new teammates.

But his movement is absolutely world class, inside and outside the box. And the way he attacks the ball with his head could be taught in academies. 

Definitely need to see him contributing more, but can't complain with 2 goals and 2 assists in his first two home games! 

[Tomo 21,733]

Morata, Hazard and Pedro together will be mesmeric.

That! Nothing new with us but I certainly felt Jon Moss didn't give us anything because he thought Morata was looking for the foul every single time he went down.

[Jase 43,479]

A curious sight.

 

[Last Sicarius 610]

Finally, after Drogba we have player whoes can score with head. Our crosses will end with goals more times.

He must adapt to league but he has instinct in box <3
