cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 9 minutes ago, whats happening said: it's not under the radar. i get legit angry every time conte subs him out. we are the only team in the universe that regularly sub out their best player even when the score is active. like why the fuck was he rested against stoke All top strikers get replaced when the score is 3-0 or when they are injured or against lower division opposition. But in the derby match ? When the situation is red hot ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be the only Chelsea player who just does not think twice around the box and just blasts it. Like at Anfield, like against Stoke, like today in the final minute. We desperately need someone who takes the ball and shoots too. Playing short passes is good, but without a shot we are never going to score. Such a shame his shot hit the crossbar. Zappa did well. You were n't going to see that move from Moses in 25 years of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only we didnt bring necessary upgrades for wings, we also spent 110m on Morata and Bakayoko, both who seem to need upgrade half year later. I had big faith in both, but where do they have any balls? Bakayoko shown glimpses of brilliance, his tackles and turnovers and runs have been impressive but there were so many 50:50 challenges where he looked lost, unprepared or simply scared. Morata has great techical ability and great body abilities, he is tall, quite strong, fast and agile, yet he turns into one big pussy infront of goal. You can see it in his eyes when he misses the chance. Top strikers dont give a shit, they just shoot and shoot again. Problem is what he has in head he cant change. You can practice in training all day long, chance aginst Cech in real game is something else. Maybe its time to consider playing him as second striker and we buy someone like Icardi. The most awful of it all is we ditched Matic and Costa and expected to replace them, and so we could focus on another midfielder, backup striker and lwb. Now we still need those, but if Morata and Bakayoko wont work, we need improvements on those two again... About the game, apart from missing all those chances, yeah it was fucking great idea to invite arsenal bombing us for final 5min instead of organising a slow attack to push them back. Fucking hell. Just score own goal next time its gonna be quicker. So are you more impressed by Bakayoko or Morata so far. Judging by your comment you seem to have a bigger issue with Morata than Bakayoko.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 As much as Morata's finishing was beyond frustrating tonight - and he deserves to be criticized - the bigger concern here is our tendency to not take our chances - like clear chances - in the big games. Happened against United. Happened at Liverpool. And now Arsenal. Should have thrashed United but didn't. Should have beaten Liverpool but didn't. Should have thrashed Arsenal but didn't. All came down to poor finishing more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 It normally takes me an hour to calm down after a result that pisses me off and tonight is no different. We played pretty well in all honesty, Morata obviously should have scored at least 2 of those chances, but Arsenal were unlucky on the Sanchez shot and a couple others. Draw was a fair result, we do have to look over our shoulder a bit more but I'm really not that worried about securing a place in the Champions League.

And we could not have thrashed them for we did go ahead and they did not quite crumble to dust. Nevertheless the chance Morata lost after their late equalizer was a match winner of course. But whatever the nature of the game Morata's three chances is something beyond belief for a player of his -supposed- caliber. If I change my mind about Morata now, it will have to be the biggest resurrection in history since Lazarus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you say is impossible in football. We could have won 2-1, 3-2, things might be better if Morata / Cesc scored in the 1st half but what you say is impossible in this kind of game.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 You have to be cool to be a striker. I don't know if I 'm cool but I 'm not a striker. Here is a psychological test done to me once (I failed). I go to the mountains with the army for shooting practice with machine gun, together with all the other rookies. It's my turn, I approach, the trainer says "oooh, look who is here, it's my good friend", "come here boy let's give it a go". Then he suddenly changes mood -by design. He says "you clumsy idiot, son of a bitch, move fast, come on, come on, come on". I screwed it up as a result. I even did something and the m/c gun turned around and pointed at the colonel in charge of the exercise. That was a capital b**shit, 5 days in the dungeons, but I was lucky the colonel pretended to look the other way. After this I did some sh*tty shooting and left. It shows that a man without cool blood and composure is rubbish ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those had been half chances, then you can give an excuse. But they had been clear chances, which, no matter who, should have been converted. It's not just Bakayoko or Morata. Even Hazard, Fabregas, Drinkwater have all been guilty of missing them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
