Morata is a much better striker for spain to costa.

Imagine building a technical side and your striker is Diego Costa, who is brilliant but not technical

I honestly think he is a better player. 

Not that Costa isn't a great striker, Morata is just so much more well rounded. 

Funnily enough I find it hilarious some of the commentators have mentioned Costa's hold up play being better...

I am not sure about better. Costa is a very physical player, he won us a few games ladt season where we were not playing well

Hello Rekin,

What is that stat all about? I've never heard of it.

Hi.

I assume youre being sarcastic?

I was just comparing G+A per min played, seeing as Morata vs Lukaku was such a big debate this summer. 

Anyway, not his best game tonight but another goal and if he was a bit more lucky it could have been more. Overall nice link up play a couple of times, but went down too easily as well.

Honestly other than against Burnley where I thought his overall game is decent, he has not played well for us yet 3 goals, 2 assists.

It is getting harder to judge his game

Imagine once he fully adjusts and improves. It is a good sign that he's putting up numbers while not being exactly world class. He can only get better.

If you take away those headers he just wasn't good enough in those 4 games. Seems clumsy when needs to shot, not good decision making. Hope he can improve...

He truly is the new Torres

My main worry with Morata was will he provide goals when he isn't playing that well? The answer is a resounding yes so far. Still needs to get used to the pace of the league... so I think he'll be much better next season. He came at the right age. The PL might be the proper making of him.

Hopefully because other than his goal, he has been poor.

I feel like he is still confused of what to do unlike Diego who I thought was natural from the start

Yeah he definitely seems a bit confused and too timid at times. No worries, he's gaining confidence and will adapt eventually. He will come good, you can see the potential.

Agree, he will be much better next season. This season will be a major adjustment for him. You can tell he is struggling with physicality of the league and how to combine with other player except Azpi

Better than someone, who took like 20 games to score his first goal for us!

Torres would have been bullied by Morgan all day long, but Morata didn´t lose his cool after some lost duels against Morgan and scored another brilliant header. 

[Thor 2,689]

I honestly think some of you are overreacting. You can't expect all pieces to click straight away, and I think a lot of them are clicking already in fact. 

A lot of the work is done when the camera isn't on the player as well. He caused Leicester a lot of trouble. Had a few good chances, but Morgan today was throwing himself at everything, and in this case, somehow managed to get one of his limbs behind nearly every shot. 

The game in general was quite sloppy, so some of the service coming to him wasn't great. As usual, Willian messed up a few balls that could have gone to him, and Baka messed up the counter attack with a terribly slow ball that got picked off. A better pass, and he is through on goal for another one. 

I've seen this kind of talk with every single one of our strikers in the past. Costa got it obviously. Even Drogs. They're doing plenty out there, and if they're scoring, they're doing fine. 

3 goals and 2 assists in 4 games. Not even 4 full games... If we were going to look at those numbers objectively, any way you cut it, he is flying. Speaks volumes about him and his potential as a player.
