That's true but there was games when Torres was generally a disaster, like the net would be half empty and all he'd have to do is touch it and it would end up smashing his shin and flying over the bar or something. I doubt we'll ever have to experience shit like that again although tonight was pretty bad for Alvaro. Really if he'd scored at least one it wouldnt have been that bad, think last one was most difficult cause it has to come down, its obvious hes not confident after the other two but even then he just needed to lift it over Cech. Costa would have got 2 out of 3 at least. Amblève. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Stop using his "positioning and movement" as some kind of excuse or a way to justify him, he was SHIT. I could maybe overlook this if it was a freak occurence, but he does it almost every fucking game! That's not good enough! His artsy-fartsy fancy-pants link-up and movement mean fuck all if he's not on the end to put them in. Depressing stuff really.

Milan 17,957 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 In other matches when he missed his sitter, we at least won the game. But tonight, and against Atletico, he cost us big, big, big time. Not acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really stop using those excuses because he gets into those positions more than any other striker in the league. To do that is a great skill. It's just that when he gets there he shits his pants. Confidence must be at rock bottom right now. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 His finishing is poor but wow, now some fans saying he should be a super-sub and Batshuayi is better than him. Ridiculous. Couldn't make it up. He needs extra work on the training pitch but apart from that his movement is better than any striker we have had for a long while. His movement causes havoc for defenders. If only his runs and ability to get into one on ones matched his finishing, then he would be on tons of goals. Frustrating, however let's back him and support him. He will get his striking boots sorted with time. OneMoSalah, Pizy, Fernando and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's yet to play a run of games for us since joining us, but people like yourself have written him off as if he's in Morata's shoes. We'll be out of the top 4 before he gets any sort of boots on at this rate Amblève. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't involved in our goals as far as I can remember and the chances he got he choked making all this movement pointless.

Frustrating, however let's back him and support him. He will get his striking boots sorted with time. I agree but also disagree He is crazily inconsistent with his movement. His link-up play around the box is tidy, however he makes some very blind runs and often even crowds out the player on the ball. Costa didn't move all that much but he inhabited space quite often... he was intelligent inasmuch as he often stayed still, making space by default as defenders were drawn to the ball. Morata needs to learn do the same. I'll look back at some of my posts tonight when I'm less angry and cringe, but boy, he's got some fucking serious making up to do.

Look how Benzema has got in a much easier league, fuck all. He just was in teams that had very good strikers at the time. I like Bats and have given support numerous times but please don't tell me Bats is better than Morata. Morata is a much better striker. You only have to see the difference between when Bats has started this season and Morata. Like I said, I have always said Bats needs consecutive games but stating he is better than Morata is just knee-jerk rubbish, I am sorry.

DDA 9,941 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 His good movement???? He ran in a straight line through the big space between Arsenals center backs. I would expect a striker playing for Notts County to run into that space. Seriously, how anyone can try to defend Moratas performance today is beyond me.

When you're the main striker of a top club like Chelsea and have been bought for a record transfer . People atleast expect him to put 1 out of 3 1v1's. That isn't too much to ask from him is it.

I never said he was outright better than him & should be starting every game. Horses for courses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
