Álvaro Morata

[LAM09 7,043]

Thing is - if he is not good enough for playing as a lone striker, he isn't good enough for our starting XI. That way he would take place for someone creative who could actually feed Giroud with good balls (currently it's Barkley, even Fabregas in some cases, we all know he rarely plays in 3-4-3 formation, only in 3-5-2...)

Morata is only effective when he plays alongside Hazard. He should never be our leading CF when Conte goes with a front 3.

I hope we can see Giroud and Morata in the same lineup someday  

Yeah i would be bold against Barcelona and play Giroud+Morata+Hazard , fudge it not many think we have any hope might as well give it a go , Getafe&Espanyol have got a draw recently!

Getting subbed on and getting booked for yelling at the ref seems like a thing for him now.

He's been picking far too many stupid yellow cards this season. Almost as if he's trying to get himself sent off!

Probably the frustration getting to him knowing he's been below standard.

Does he think his cool getting these pointless yellow cards...

Terrible cameo. I don't think he held up one single ball tonight, certainly didn't offer our last 2 lines any relief at all.

The yellow card was trademark-Morata, though, so at least he's got that going for him.

Pure frustration for a bloke who is currently way out of his depth.

He makes such a dumb impression when he whines more than plays. He is more concentrated on talking than being useful on the pitch. Next time he comes on the pitch Conte should tape his mouth shut.

But that's his only moving parts

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

I think he has to start sunday if he's realistically to remain here.

 

You don't spend big money on a guy who doesnt start against the best teams now.

We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes and the club cannot disclose, but he could and should be working on bulking up a bit - done a thousand times before.

either way Giroud and morata must not be feeling full of confidence at the moment.

had Diego been here and he would have started against barca. So much for the false nine BS when you have an in form striker...
