Remy is blessed with extraordinary pace too. He could have gone on to become a great striker if he had managed to not get injured every other game and learned the offside rule. I would only agree on Sturridge. Other players you mentioned didn't really impress me with their pace. Sure they are not slow, but nothing amazing. I don't count Jimmy because I didn't watch him a lot. Morata will do well, just you see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morata will do well, just you see Anelka definitely was always one of our faster strikers and still had that burst of acceleration and pace even if he was nearing the end of his prime with us. Jimbo was more a brute (albeit a different one from Drogba) but also had a way of freeing himself quickly for his abnormally powerful shots.. But Morata does remind me a lot of Atleti V1/Liverpool's Torres, the way he went for the header and his running the channels to beat the offside trap...

akgw13 867 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I am drooling at the thought of him linking up with Hazard and Pedro. He single handedly turned that game around when he came on. Looks like we made the right purchase for our team. He is a must start. Spectacular effort from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that's what I meant with his pace mate, Torres style of explosion to score. I didn't say we always had slow strikers, but I don't remember either one of our strikers for quite some times exploding like that. Great quality to have in Morata, it will be really good for counter attacks and important CL games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Rekin 835 Posted August 20, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted August 20, 2017 I saw a lot of criticism of Morata but come on.. The missed header was really bad sure, but even the best strikers miss sitters. Other than that, what could he really have done? Last season against good opponents we counter-attacked in force, but in this game we barely had any attacks at all. Morata usually had two players on him instantly, and no support. We had no consistent possession of the ball during the whole game, and every attampt at an attack came from a long ball where the defenders were well prepared. He actually helped out a lot with his defensive headers, but going forward he was extremely isolated. Strikers have different profiles. Morata is no Benteke, he is great when you coordinate an attack, where there are options and space, not when your main contribution is supposed to be holding the ball against either midfielders such as Dembele/Wanyama or central defenders in your back. We basically had Willian and Morata up front, and Willian was the link-up player. I find it amazing that we even got the attacks we have. Today was extremely defensive.

Rapkun 668 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm his biggest fan but he clearly needs time to adapt. Today was not the easiest game for him to do that. Give him time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his body you can tell he is not ready for epl. That is not true. His balance and hold up play is very good and second half he improved his hold up play. Morata posed a lot more problems second half on the ball too. Made a couple vital headed clearances and also ran the channels well and created couple good opportunities. Was amazing the way he outpaced Alderwerield and nearly carved out a goalscoring opportunity. Looking forward to seeing him play against Everton when for 1 game he will actually have better service. First game, he was playing with a 10 man team. Today he was isolated against a team dominating much of the ball. He will score goals for fun once he is being fed the ball more. Espec when Hazard is back. DDA, The Skipper and Tomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tautvix 1,321 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 In the game like this only Drogba would have done something more... But Morata should have scored from that header anyway... !Hazard! and Dimitr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! yuvala 2,167 Posted August 20, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted August 20, 2017 We should really wait untill he has some "normal" games under his belt.. last game was 10 men and in this one we had like 30% possesion with Willian probably the only player in that team able to provide something. xPetrCechx, King11Didier, Dimitr and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Sicarius 610 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 He did best what he can do when we start match with 3dm's. Him and Willian was our only attack players(not count Alonso/Moses). I'm sure that with weaker opponent he will do more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
