He isn't really a "nice" striker either....check his yellow card stats for us last season.

Aren't they mostly for simulation?

Not sure, but his general level of play seems to have regressed.

I know his touch was never great, but nothing seems to be working for him atm..including decision making..

Completely different player to the one that was with us up to fall 2017.

Since Morata is here for another year, lets try to support him a little bit. I know its hard and he has not helped his case in 2018 but lets just blindly believe and maybe he will pull it off!

1) 2017 Morata had 12 goals before NYE.

2) No longer playing as an isolated over matched target man.

3) Sarri system of movement and passing suits him better than Contes

4) Proper midfield linking with the attackers now so they aren't as isolated  

5) Full summer to get healthy + happy at home with birth of his twins.

6) Strikers are pure confidence players, we saw confidence Morata(2017) and no confidence (2018) an early goal this season could bring back his 2017 form!

 

I am not a Morata fan boy, I am not ignoring his recent form, I am simply trying to be positive and support one of our players who needs it.

I agree, but he needs to work on his finishing with feet, around 10 of 12 goals came from headers and like 5 of them were assisted by azpi. I hope he can get his confidence back and adapt to sarri's system. Lets hope having one of the best midfields in England will help him with that.

I think he will improve in a more attacking set up with Sarri.

Good performance by him today. Worked hard, led the line well.

It was certainly an improvement

[communicate 2,703]

Led the line quite well, still not strong enough. Go to the gym please.

[Abreu03 292]

What's wrong with this guy? IS SO FUCKING SHIT.

Ok. He was never a good player, but he is currently at the 'Torres level'.
