A game like this is also really a struggle for Morata. When he's surrounded and bullied by yo multiple people. 

This is definitely a Giroud match.

Agreed. His pace and mobility isn't going to matter much when their backs literally don't even come up for corners or free kicks. He had one opportunity when they came up and now they've gone back to ultra defensive.

This lot will be very hard to break down, but we have the tools to do it. Hopefully they will tire out and we get a moment of Eden inspiration

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

I think a different type of player is needed in midfield in a Kante-Jorginho-Third guy partnership.  I dont think Kovacic is different enough for him to be a good fit in such a set up.

What the hell is wrong with Hazard?
This his attitude of refusing to shoot is annoying. That should have been a shot and a goal there!!!

No idea why he decides against shooting so often

thats why Hazard will never be in the Ballon D'or conversation like Messi and Ronaldo, he's too nice when in shooting positions, Real will be frustrated as fuck if they want goals from Eden, he will in no way replace Ronaldo there

Games like this is when you need super attacking FB.

He just doesn't have a ruthless streak, for better or worse.

its really a shame because he has that in his locker, he could be more ruthless if he wanted, but for some reason he's not, its strange considering how ruthless he was at Lille, i know its the french league but still...

[Milan 17,835]

Don't we have better dead ball takers than Hazard? He is awful in those situations

Exactly. His reluctancy holds him back

[blues.bridge 340]

morata miss a shoot ans save a goal on azpi, great performance... for newcaste!!!

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

Terrible touch by Morata.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Come On!

i dont know if playing for defensive minded managers ( Conte, Mou ) has hindered his form in front of goal, but it might be the case. with Sarri there is a good chance he can produce Mertens numbers, but if he's too reluctant to shoot its no use

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

I dont know how I feel about Kante playing such an advanced role....

[Milan 17,835]

Kante of the right wing. Please no.

I think it's unlikely he'll change his ways despite the change.

 

Time will tell, though

 

[Milan 17,835]

you gotta be shitting me, no foul on Azpi...

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

Lol they are legitimately not getting a yellow today are they?
