raumdeuter: Hazard is our main creator not our main goal threat. If you remove Pens from his game, he's averaging 8-9 goals a season. Every team has a point man, and his supporting cast. Hazard is one of the best supporters in the business though we've been begging him to move from supporting cast to Star man for the last 2 seasons. Costa was our point man, and so his replacement has to be pointman ready. We don't need a supporter to play 9. |

Alvaro Morata had less than 20 minutes to prove his mettle against Arsenal and while many choose to criticise him for missing a penalty kick, the knowledgeable ones are looking at some qualities he exuded during the game. For Chelsea legend Pat Nevin, he was happy with the way the striker manages to peel off defenders in the Box 18. Nevin wrote in his column in the official Chelsea website: “With very few chances falling Michy Batshuayi’s way, the introduction of Alvaro Morata piqued the interest of most viewers. Once again sitting among other ex-players, I was keen to gauge the reaction. Geoff Hurst, who apparently had quite a good day at Wembley once, noted our new striker’s movement. He did have one chance at the back right-hand post, but the impressive thing was the peeling away from his marker which created the opportunity in the first place. “It was the second time he did it in the game, and there is no doubt whatsoever that if he continues to move with that intelligence then Cesc Fabregas, David Luiz, Hazard, Willian, Pedro and the rest will pick him out and the chances will continue to come, hopefully along with the goals.” raumdeuter: ![]() afrodoc2: |

I still think 4-2-4 is the way,that way we have 4 goal scorers on the pitch Better still 4-3-3 |

nateevs: I think this is succinct enough. A technique that enhances a goal-scoring system, SIMPLE! It's funny how these lot put you on a leash. The last time you tried explaining a concept, the term 'shekpe keeper' was coined. Now this - 'First touch'. Why evils? 1 Like 1 Share

timbros: You have been clamouring for morata since God-knows-when. You confirmed that morata's first touch is top notch, unlike lukaku's. That line had nothing to do with trolling. Just accept you hailed morata for his superb first touch which emaprince didnt know of. We will see if morata is better than lukaku in scoring goals too this season, which is the primary duty of a striker. timbros: 2 Likes 1 Share |

airmark: And the Benzema that benched him, how many league goals did Benzema score? This is not logical, Marking out one striker and marking out 2 others plus striker which one is easier to do?. If you have one arrow head who shoulders the bulk of the goal, then opponents will injure him or double team him, But if you have 3 potent players who can score when one is marked the others will score. Morata will score but he will never score 30 goals a season and the 2014/15 season you mentioned Costa. Costa missed 6 games in that time and Hazard delivered 2 goals in 6 games. 1 of those goals was from a penalty situation. Is that what you call deliver? |

raumdeuter: I just freed Nihilist because I have little time for "I told you so" comments. Few games into last season, I was the first to explain the concept of the 3-4-3 and how I thought it was a brilliant system and how it enabled us score goals. Nihilist went on record saying that the goals were through luck and also stated that he wanted Conte out. It is easy to travel the wide road. 3 Likes |

Nihilstjnr: If Hazard is your main creator then he also failed at that because he delivered 5 league assists all season last year and 7 in all comps when he was relieved of the so called Mourinho defensive duties. Maybe playing with a non typical 9 is what will bring out the best in Hazard because seeing his output for Belgium where he plays with Lukaku, points to it that Hazard and Lukaku probably dont gell There isnt a like for like replacement for what Costa brings and since you all refused to manage Costa or beg him then you have to do without the Costa-like striker. To play as a main striker in a non 442 formation is hard as you have to most cases battle 2 defenders and still score. |

In 2004/2005 season, we had Duff-drogba-joe cole upfront and the trio were goal machines. We also had robben...then you add lampard behind them. Goal contribution was collective. This is what we want now..though it wont be with willians of this world. I trust pedro to deliver to some extent. Then Hazard really need to step up too. |

airmark: Whenever the discussion was Lukaku vs Morata, I always go Morata>Lukaku. And that's not about to change. I have had countless debates with Nihilist regarding Lukaku vs Morata....And that is where you are digging up those posts. I repeat Morata>>Lukaku. BUT that doesn't mean if we had an opportunity to sign Ronaldo or Messi I will still clamour for Morata. I am responsible for what I type but you, you are solely responsible for what you understand. And my first question to diggz was 'Who started the first touch talk?' Can you honestly tell yourself that that my comment is the FIRST time you see talk of first touch in this thread? |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by airmark(m): 5:11pm On Aug 08, 2017 |
raumdeuter: To you hazard stepping up, is about scoring alone as if he was the striker that replaced costa, later you will be adding goals and assists together to rate players. In the absence of costa in that season, hazard was instrumental to a point shared at city, with an assist. A goal in a 2-1 victory away to villa, assist for that lone goal victory at qpr, the winning goal against manchester utd, the lone goal against crystal palace. Take away his influence as a winger in those matches, city would have won the league before costa returned. However, hazard cant guarantee higher numbers of goals when he returns from injury, the striker we bought for 70m should. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nihilstjnr: So Morata has done the unseen right? Like Messi never ballooned a chance unmarked? What is the real point here? In another argument, I am sure you will be arguing that Morata did not expect that the last Arsenal defender wouldn't touch that ball. I am surprised no one has talked about this as a possibility. The shock is not that he ballooned the chance. For me, the shock was that the ball reached him. No one in that position would have thought it. I cannot help but wonder what the consistent criticism of Morata is about, without a decent sample of empirical/visual evidence of him being crap, in a Chelsea shirt. Can someone please help with coming up with a new way of saying "Why the phuck can we not give him a chance......a decent run at the very least, before we start slaughtering him?" Jeez! |
