Fans saying someone else would have scored is pretty light as far as abuse goes. It can get pretty ugly when the keyboard warriors get in full swing for a player making an error. The sort of stuff that West Ham fan allegedly said to Jake Livermore is the kind of stuff you see generally.
He gets into good scoring position and links up well, he’s just dreadful in front of the goal atm. A strike of his calibre should be putting those chances away. I am not sure he likes the physicality of the game in the epl, smth he has to get used to if he wants to be a success here. Let’s hope that he is going through a rough patch atm, otherwise we may end up with another Torres in our hands.
I think the comparisons to Torres are really harsh - everything else about his game has been really promising, 4-5 poor misses in the last 2 games have started people to already question his ability, which I think is absurd.
Clearly a talented player, lacking confidence and still finding his feet in the league.
Diego Costa seem to relish scoring against Arsenal and Spurs. He was up for it in the big matches, (most of the time). Morata will have ups and downs , like any others player , very glad he is with us and he will produce the goods, already has ... I have no doubt.

It's more than harsh, it's beyond stupid and anyone who makes that comparison show a lack of even basic understanding of the game.
Yeah true. There was a time when Torres was actually good at finishing. To compare him to a carthorse is harsh.

You have Lukaku and Rashford so are in no position to lecture us on poor strikers.

His finishing has been rubbish pretty much the whole of this season. Before the Stoke game it was already a big issue. Even the Man U game, where he was good, he wasted 2 easy chances. It's just that the last two matches he's had a lot more chances to miss.
The game where he scored a hat trick seems to be the exepction rather than the norm in terms of his shooting ability.
I love Morata. I know his finishing was awful yesterday, but it is entirely about confidence. He is a great player, with great touch, and he'll start scoring again soon. He's still really young, and this is his first year in England, and he's still getting used to the physical nature of the league. We've had some really terrible strikers at Chelsea over the past 10-15 years (Kezman, Shevchenko, Torres, even Drogba on his return), but I am confident that Morata is not in that category. He'll be a star and prove everyone wrong - personally I'm delighted he's at Chelsea.

Rashford is 19, played on the wing the entire seasons and still nearly has the same amount as morata.
Lukaku has more. so whlst being chit, is still better.

I don't care if he's 19, he isn't good enough and has Welbeck/Oscar mark 2 written all over him.
I don't care if Lukaku has scored more, based on goal record alone many average Joe's would be better than Bergkamp and Drogba.

thats because there were a lot better than those two.

By your logic above everyone who had a better goal record was. Oh and as for Rashford being close to Morata, the Spaniards 4 goals behind already having played 44 games less
Morattas whole career goals total is an embarassment.
Then what does that say for Rashford considering he's so close to overhauling him in the league with 44 games to spare
