Pre season starts in 10 days, lets see if we get a manager in before then.

CHELSEA

What's the point of having a manager before the season starts?

We’ll have a new manager next week RtM

Back injury

Was that caused by all the falling over ?

Great constructive criticism

Lots of positives to build on and evolve concerning Morata...like the partnership that was quickly established/struck with Azpi.
Looked very capable linking play with Hazard and co. pre-injury.

Scored the most headed goals, which shows some extent of aerial prowess at least.
Match-winning goals.
Scored hat-trick in only his 6th league game, when was the last time a striker bagged hat-trick as early as that for us in debut season?
Infancy of career as a full-time starter.

Lost his way playing with back injury.


I don't see any with Bakayoko

There is also of course the previous of being the last player to eliminate that Madrid side in CL (2015).

Contributed to crucial/deciding CL knockout goals & assists against the likes of Monaco, Dortmund, Bayern and former club Madrid, when he started matches.
CL final equaliser to boot (which Juventus lost in the end). To show European pedigree.

How's that for "mental toughness"?

I think there's nothing more to discuss on him.

Some of us are still hopeful that he'll sort out some of those issues next season, while others have given up on him. Everyone agrees that he has talent.

Now it's about simply watching how things unfold to determine who's right. All the discussion about predicting what will happen has already taken place.
