It looks like Morata is following last year's trend of doing all he can not to score.
Pre-season friendlies 2018
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Morata 
Pen incident - Cech saves it - Morata chance - heads it over
Are you alright?How have I lived my life so far thinking that Emery is Turkish?
It's his passing though, his pick outs are brilliant.
Morata. Never change.
Hudson-Odoi is fantastic.
I am bit jealous.... Chelsea is playing really good and attractive
If Hudson-Odoi doesn't get some decent playing time this year, there has to be a lot of questions raised towards Sarri. He is an incredible talent.
Ars defense looks really bad
Bugger off Cech!
Morata has missed like 4 clear chances already.
Looking at the names in there you can tell it’s garbage.
Morata has everything apart from finishing.
Mkhitaryan still shit as ever
Morata is proper Wank
Yep, that last bit of play was about as shit as it gets.
Arsenal midfield vs Chelsea midfield = no contest.
Be much closer if Arsenal had their first choice midfielders.

Gorgeous ball by Mkhi.
It's actually scary just how poor Morata is. There's no way he's better than some of the boys down at my 5-a-side!
I am not even exaggerating, this is one of the worst performances I have seen from a striker, pre season or not.
Thank god we signed Lukaku instead.
I thought at the time it doesn't matter which but jesus christ, we'd be in proper shit had we ended up with Morata.

Morata
I hope there's not a shit load of changes at half time. This is a decent game.
That said, Tammy for Alvaro please!

Put Zola up front.
Arsenal growing into the game. Good play.
Arsenal have got "Visit Rwanda" on their shirt sleeves. That's an interesting sponsor. I didn't even think you could go there on holiday (so a great advert I guess!).
another season on the bench for Barkley it seems, the 0 impact man
Cech in god-mode today.
Mikhitaryan is lucky, that we don't have real wingers in our squad. Would like to see Özil behind Auba and Laca.
Could imagine that Lichsteiner will bench Bellerin.

Doubt it. With the season coming up, im sure Sarri will be wanting to give most of his players a full 90.
Good run by Hudson-Odoi, shame about the ball getting stuck underneath his feet a bit. Good save by Cech.
Micky
Yeah, he said prior to the game that this will more or less be the side that starts the Charity Shield.
Tammy on for Morata is just wishful thinking on my part.
Barkleys been good and has been in most of Chelsea's pre season games ive watched.
Where is Leno for Arsenal?
Enjoyed that half.
Game is a comedy of errors, Arsenal marking for Rudiger goal, Morata pen miss, his confidence looks shot, he must hate Arsenal. Aubameyang air kick, loads of other missed chances and mistakes.
Hudson-odoi looks electric, will be a great option off the Bench. Barkley neat and tidy, not exactly setting the world on fire, needs confidence.

My view on the first half.
Hudson-Odoi looks the best 17 year old I’ve seen in years. Ripped Arsenal apart. Morata is absolute dirt, giving one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen from a striker. Jorginho is the real deal.

Man, wtf happened to the Morata from the first few months after we signed him!? His head is completely gone. Confidence looks absolutely shattered even after a summer off. He looks Torres-like with his finishing.
Major issue going into the season for us if he continues like this.
