Costa didn't even score more than 20 in the league in a season

Diego went weeks without scoring. There were loads on here shouting for his blood.

Exactly and hes been the best striker we've had here in years. Just shows how easily fans turn on a player for next to fuck all.

Literally a game in and you guys are complaining about him like it is the end of the world. Won't even give him any chance to play in the system.

But I can understand the grief hes getting too tho.

Its not only this 1 game in. Peeps are adding it on to before. Seeing no improvement on the goal front. And they're looking at the money he cost and feeling like we been conned.

I dunno whether Sarri really does have faith in him or hes just got his back. But I got Sarris back so will give the guy some breathing space, Hoping he will get the boost from Kovacics presence..

Do you remember Drogba when he first came? Probably not, as you were a united fan then.

So you’ve only known Chelsea in the good days. Spoilt fans nowadays. Fucking toxic.

Good god. Suspended for a week. It's your third warning in the forum. You're walking a fine line after this...

Most big team actually prefer their striker to be able to link up first. It is basically the bare minimum requirement, if your link up play is bad you won't even play.  It doesn't matter if you are a good finisher. Michy is our best finisher yet he is loaned to Valencia, Sturridge was pool best finisher but firmino start ahead of him, benzema is still real main striker. 

If they missed every damn sitter like Morata, they wouldnt play either.

Cant say for others but I stood by Diego all the time. Even now lol. 

Why? Because he proved he is quality and simply went through rough patch like every striker. I knew he has that ability.

Unlike Morata who did very little last year. Even when he was scoring with head, dont forget his finishing with feet was crap 90% of time, but we let it go because he scored with head. And he kept falling down and complained, playing style that most people dont like. Costa was complaining too, but he provoked the opponents, which often helped us. Morata simply complains fo little pushes and gets cards for no point.

When/if he has great season like Diego had, trust me I wont shit on Morata either if he goes through a bad patch. I know better players need time to recover. But as of now, Morata was average last season and below average since turn of the year. And he gets game after game, but no improvement. 

Just pointing out facts, during games I support all our players, but if they play bad week in week out, obviously I will start complaining.

I've got a feeling he will score against Arsenal on Saturday and get his mojo back ...1st game at the bridge 2018/19 have to keep optimistic and positive or it will be a long season

I'd be happy if he did. We could use him getting a few

But might have more chance of the wee baldy man putting one in maybe lol

Wednesday night in here, saw a lot of activity in Morata thread. Did he score?

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

Why don't you knockers give him another chance.

Anyways we aint got anyone else, so you'll just have to like it or lump it.

LOL But there are options we havent tried yet

Giroud or Pedro/Eden - Cant see why a false 9 wouldnt work with our midfield.

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

Well Hazard has no intentions of playing there false nine that is, you see waht he thought of it under Conte.

And Pedro fucking hell bud give me a break.

And then World Cup winner Giroud, and you think that's and improvement on Morata.

Yeah the perfect hat trick, left foot ,right foot ,header ,all screamers , took the match day ball home lol

[Vesper 28,787]

I am all in on Morata until January window, he needs to come good in a big way. I am going to just be patient, as we really have no choice, I dont think Giroud is anywhere near good enough and Abraham looks a bust. Flat track bully in Championship, shit in EPL.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

Arsenal were always Morata's bogey team.

Failed a penalty in the Community shield last year, another in this year's pre-season friendly, and missed those chances in the Capital one cup semi final.

If scoring against any one team would lift a weight off his shoulders, I would think its Arsenal
