Leif 6,006 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 He's never played with so few top quality attack-minded players. If we had say, a Sanchez on the right, Morata would've banged in an extra 5 or more by now, easy. There'd be so much less pressure on him to score too, and that's important for keeping the mind fresh, considering the body + mind manifest eachother.

I agree that there's much more pressure on him to score now that he's the main man we depend on and that he'd look much better with more quality around him. But these last couple of matches he's had many clear chances that a player of his caliber should have scored. Instances where he was basically 1 v 1 against the keeper and didn't finish. I think he's just in a poor run of form right now. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we played with two out and out strikers regularly was when we had Eidur and JFH. I'm not counting Zola as he operated more like Hazard as a second striker in his latter years. Even Anelka was shoe horned out wide to accomodate "Kalouda" and Drogs. From the top of my head, Anelka/Torres, Drogs/Sheva and Drogs/Crespo were onces that were tried out. I'm not sure why we haven't given it go from the start. Can we be even more vulnerable in defense/midfield playing while playing two up top? After yesterday's horror show, I sincerely doubt it. It couldn't be any more worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blusan Alamb 295 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 “That was one of the first things I was told after turning up here," Morata told FFT in our December 2017 issue, out now. "Even the lads were begging me not to take that shirt because it was cursed, but I wanted it. “I’ve done a couple of little things to avoid the bad luck that the shirt supposedly brings. Can I tell you what I’ve done? No chance. If I did that, the curse will come back!” Read more at https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/morata-even-my-chelsea-team-mates-were-begging-me-not-take-cursed-no9-shirt-i-wanted-it#77CX2kCfR8iKzHeu.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 My GOD, what a BEAST this man is!! I haven't seen a better striker performance since the days of Drogba. Absolutely wrecked their CB's. Best header I've seen since Torres vs Aston Villa Beigl and Stats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Except for the fuck up in the last minute just before their free kick, Alvaro was absolutely phenomenal.

Popular Post! Beigl 1,387 Posted November 5, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted November 5, 2017 I am so glad that in the end we bought him and not Lukaku. Our whole team is so much better when someone with proper technique is up top. And his header was out of this world.

Milan 17,957 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Alvaro Morata has had a hand in 10 goals in his opening 10 Premier League games for Chelsea (7 goals, 3 assists) – only Diego Costa was involved in more in his first 10 for the club (11).

Popular Post! Adnane 1,101 Posted November 5, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted November 5, 2017 One goal less than the mighty Harry Kane and the GOAT Aguero, same as wonderkid G. Jesus and "Better Finisher" Lukaku. Chelsea 1 point off United and Tottenham. Still, apparently, Chelsea in crisis, Morata not good enough, missing Costa.
