Álvaro Morata

[LAM09 6,777]

Been here almost 6 months and hasn't changed one point. He should be used as an impact sub for the rest of the season and nothing more.

Even my ageing grandmother can stand her ground better than Morata!

That's the thing I don't get. Has no one - be it the coaching team or players - tell him about the need of being physically tougher and stand his ground during challenges? He's been here long enough and yet, he's still doing the same thing every game. Must be frustrating for the players to see him go down every time when we're trying to build attacks. A light breeze of wind is probably even enough to take him down!

It's on him at this point. More interested in posting Insta posts than his career.

He's like a 16-year-old lovesick boy in an adult's body!

Am I the only one who's seen him pick it up in the 2nd half? If that goal wasn't wrongfully cancelled, he'd get some credit, tough angle to score from.

His physicality is frustrating nonetheless, but I'm still rooting for him. Although if he doesn't improve by next season, I'll give up hope.

Thats where my patience will definitely end up....next season..

Seems that way. Certainly has the mental state of one

I've still yet to see definite proof that his goal was onside despite everybody on here claiming it was.

It was clearly shown during the match towards the end.

Didn't see it. The replays that I saw on my stream showed he was slightly offside, or at least so it looked to me and the commentators.

No idea where the ball is in that picture [emoji102]

Thanks, didn't see this one. Without the line it looked like his left foot was slightly over.

This was the official match footage.  They don't show the line until the moment the ball was passed.

It was a joke in regards to another post

In the same seat sort of. Always said we should give him a season to bed in. Next season we’ll truly see what he’s made of. Things aren’t looking great at the moment after a really good start though.

Lukaku's issue has always been goals in big fixtures, apparently this was his first goal for United against a top 6 team and that I'm not surprised about one bit. Wasn't really a game for CFs today, Lukaku got going in bursts but again not really consistent throughout the match. 

Yeah it was, by Lukaku is still well on his way to scoring probably 30 in all comps this season with around 10 assists. That’s a respectable output. I’m afraid Morata won’t even hit 20 goals this season.
