Álvaro Morata

[El P. 1,354]

Yes, Morata gets most CLEAR chances in our team. How many times did you see Morata going 1-on-1, or getting good cross/pass, and how many times Willian or Hazard?

You compare players according to what their duty in the team is, not according to where they play. Why would every team need to have their main striker/scorer playing at CF position? I mean that's just oppressive to wide strikers... (/kidding) 

Let me bring in some statistics - Salah in last season averaged 4 shots per game. Firmino averaged 2.3. So tell me now how Salah all of that chanced made by himself, lol...

EDIT: Last season - Pedro 1.8, Willian 1.5, Hazard 2.1, Morata 2.5 (take into account that he was shit most of the time so no one wanted to feed him with the ball, too)

He really has some problems with his balance. Personally I think he might have an ear infection because this shit isn't normal

Also, what's up with all the offsides. At one point he was 5 feet offside and yet he was still arguing with the ref...

FRAUD

Yes he was, this rewrritting of history with Torres is getting ridiculous.

[LAM09 7,043]

The most offsides (5) in a Prem game this season is totally unacceptable

[1chelsea 864]

Please just get a striker who can score goals. He give up so easily and like sleeping on the floor like the field is a sofa

This is sarcasm, right? Has to be.

Yes Morata was his usual uninspired and disinterested self (against Everton).

But that's NOT the story today! We played like shit and Morata was just one of the poor performances. Was also disappointed with Sarri today... too slow (to make changes) and conservative.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

More likely to get a hatrick of misses then a actual one. Especially after last week as well! Know no one was stand out today but still. He's back I guess 

[El P. 1,354]

He was in offside too many times, and he fell a bit easily sometimes. But some of those were actually almost penalty calls. I don't see any big "misses" or I don't know. Many players were rubbish in this Everton game, a lot more than Alvaro.

I'm glad Morata returned to his normal self today. Not scoring goals, and being a clown.

The sooner we get rid of him, the better. Don't want another transfer window going by and Chelsea thinking, "Morata's on the ball lately! Let's not worry about the CF position".

We aren't going to do shit in the January window, I can already sense it.

Bats has been absolute shit at Valencia, he is tracking to SIX goals in 45 games!!

We are so fucked at CF

Sarri needs to maybe move Hazard over to a Mertens role

Its about the only thing I can think of atm

this game was very disappointing at pretty much every level save Kepa and the CB's

Even Hazard looks like he is regressing

we need much more training time than we are getting

We have to try it.  Willian on the left, Hazard at CF, and Pedro on the right.  

I've been banging on about the training time.  I think we were very fortunate to get the results that we were getting at the start of the season.  We were improving, week after week, but since playing 2 matches a week for the past month or so, it's kind of stopped.  Our play is too slow and not sharp.  It's a lot of passing, but no movement, ATM.  The 3rd man runs that make up the vertical element of Sarri's vertical tiki-taka are not there yet, or when they do make the run, players aren't making the pass.

We knew it was going to be a work in progress.  Unfortunately, we won't really get that quality training time until January.

Moving Hazard up front means losing your key player and getting little in return. He's not a great finisher either... we are talking about a game where we did not create much. The best chance in the game was actually his (Eden's), and he put it wide. 

Hazard scores goals because of his overall skill, but you put him up front and he will vanish, because he will be more easily contained (lack of spaces to move into).

I know you are looking for solutions, but we have none until Jan. If the two we have aren't enough we will need to sign players. We just don't have any player in the squad who can switch to a false 9 role, IMO.
