He's going to be a great player for Chelsea, but I'm not jealous. We have Lukaku.
Thought he was moving to United, didn'tErr what?
Really nice goal, reminded me a bit of that great goal from Ruud against Fulham all those years ago...but not as good.This is good analysis and deserves a shout - Thierry Henry on Morata's 2nd goal
That is true but the game wouldn't be the same without the hostility of rivalries. It is always fun to hate rival teams and their players.Clubs that are sporting rivals. It's only a game, no need to be so hostile surely.
It doesn't matter much when the result is what it is. Besides he's scored some goals on his left foot before, no real deficiency there.Good balance and footwork, but that's ultimately due to the fact he believes his technique on his left foot isn't good enough.
If a two-footed player had slotted it in simply with his left, nobody would have said anything. I'm hesitant to heap too much praise because it was a manoeuvre made to mask a deficiency. It was nice enough for what it was, though.
I think that analysis was more about Thierry Henry than Alvaro Morata.
Not quite. Conte wanted Morata, the board wanted Lukaku. That's most likely the reason we never had Lukaku wrapped up early or made a proper bid, as the club knew they were going to offload Costa about 9 months ago.Also, Conte wanted Lukaku ahead of Morata. I'm sure he's happy he got Morata, as are Chelsea fans, but it's still worth remembering this point.
I didn't say it wasn't a goal. It was. It was also nice. Just not worthy of too much praise.It doesn't matter much when the result is what it is. Besides he's scored some goals on his left foot before, no real deficiency there.
Look at the technique of this left foot hit:Good balance and footwork, but that's ultimately due to the fact he believes his technique on his left foot isn't good enough.

There is no deficiency though, why would you say that ?I didn't say it wasn't a goal. It was. It was also nice. Just not worthy of too much praise.
Coming off a bit bitter with the first statement and this.I didn't say it wasn't a goal. It was. It was also nice. Just not worthy of too much praise.
From what I have seen they will both do very well. Wasn't too sure on either but they are better than I thought. Good business by both clubs.He's going to be a great player for Chelsea, but I'm not jealous. We have Lukaku.
He was amazing tonight. He never complains and brings so much to the team.Another good performance tonight, loves a big game!
Yeah he was quality today, fought for everything and bullied there defence at times. His technical ability for someone his size is stupid, so many times his control surprised me how good it was.He was amazing tonight. He never complains and brings so much to the team.
maybe Real Madrid included a buy back clause explaining why chelsea got him for so damn cheapHe will probably end up going back to Madrid (if he continues this form) in a season or two.
That’s actually a pretty good comparison, they’re quite alike stylistically although Morata is obviously a lot bigger.He is the faster Spanish Raul.
Hamstring injury. The player himself posted on Instagram a picture of himself in training, saying he was aiming to be back for our next game. Hope we don't rush him back too soon.I like him. He's injured, isn't he? @duffer any idea how long he's out for?
Thanks bud.Hamstring injury. The player himself posted on Instagram a picture of himself in training, saying he was aiming to be back for our next game. Hope we don't rush him back too soon.
I wanted to ask for the same reasonThanks bud.
I thought I read minimum of 4 weeks tbh. But that's good news. I was asking because he's in my FF team![]()

I've seen conflicting reports from the Spanish national team. Here's hoping we do the sensible thing and play Batshuayi against Palace; if he can't make hay against the likes of them then there really is no hope for him.Hamstring injury.

Thats very good news. Sad to see a great strike in the EPL be out for a long period of time. It's a shame Aguero was very injury prone.It appears he will only miss palace and potentially Roma, but should be fit soon which is great news!
Not really seeing it. He's saying he should have never left Juventus to return to Real Madrid. Considering that we went from basically being the main striker at Juventus to being a bench warmer at Madrid, I'd agree with his retrospective assessment. He's not saying that he wants to return to Italy now, but that'd he'd like to return one day. Nothing wrong with that. It's absolutely fine to prefer Madrid or Torino to London, especially if you're a boy from the Med, yet still be settled in London in terms of working.He is already wanting a return to Italy? Surely his ahead ain't at Chelsea. Could be a Di Maria situation
