Different scenarios where you are on opposite sides of the fence because one backs your argument, and one doesn't.

No they are completely different scenarios involving completely different players.

When Morata scores goals in both legs of a Champions League last 16 game vs Juventus, both legs of a Champions League quarter final vs Liverpool, an FA Semi final vs Arsenal, an FA Cup final against Everton and the final Champions League group stage game against whoever it was to get Chelsea through to the Champions League knockout stage in the first place, then I'll give him some credit. But comparing Morata's big game scoring record to the great man, nah, I'm not having that. Morata has a looooooooooooooong way to go before I'm ever gonna even think about comparing him to Didier furrrking Drogba.

"When Morata scores goals in both legs of a Champions League last 16 game vs Juventus, both legs of a Champions League quarter final vs Liverpool, an FA Semi final vs Arsenal, an FA Cup final against Everton"
He's scored in both legs of a semi final followed by the final.
He's scored in an FA Cup semi final.
Not very good at this are you?

"I'm not having that. Morata has a looooooooooooooong way to go before I'm ever gonna even think about comparing him to Didier furrrking Drogba."

This isn't about comparing the two, it's exposing your quite frankly ludicrous double standards and how you switch between opinions depending on what suits your argument.

And you love Drogba so much that you openly admitted you would have been happy had Real won the 2012 CL and denied him his last chance of winning the trophy

He's scored in both legs of a semi final followed by the final.
----------------------------
Not for Chelsea he hasn't.

He's scored in an FA Cup semi final.
--------------------------
Cool, so did Giroud. Not quite got Drogba's big game influence, do they?

--------------------------------
I don't get what you're trying to say. The argument about Anelka vs Drogba is a completely different one to the argument about Lukaku vs Morata. Drogba is not Morata and Anelka is not Lukaku.

It's worse than when he said drawing at home to Liverpool is failure but refused to admit being smashed at home to Spurs was

Goals aren't everything, but they matter?

Can you not understand there's a difference between saying something matter and saying something is the be all and end all? Do you not see that there's something in between something not mattering at all and something being the be and end all?

You use number and only numbers to claim Lukaku is better than Morata and especially Salah is better than Hazard.

Then when the numbers argument falls against a player you actually like, you backtrack quicker than Nigel Farage when the Brexit result is announced.

So do you admit now that being smashed at home to Spurs is failure?

No, I say a player is better than the other, such as Lukaku being better than Morata, and I use their numbers to back that up. If a player has more to offer, like Drogba clearly had over Anelka, then of course I'll say that player is better even if they did score less goals. I know Drogba scored less goals than many other strikers in Premier League history, but I still rate him higher than almost all of them.

But just because in that specific case, Drogba does have more to offer than other strikers who scored more goals, doesn't mean that Morata does, he's a completely different striker. I'm aware he scored in the FA Cup semi final last season. It was a goal to put us 2-0 up against Southampton. Would you say that goal is of equal importance to Drogba's semi final goal in the season you mentioned which put us 2-1 up against Arsenal and was the matchwinning goal? I wouldn't. You're the one who's looking for a one size fits all approach to comparing football players and it just doesn't work like that.

Im tempted to make a list of forwards vastly superior to Lukaku that dont score as many really just for Wahl bantz.
Wahl (or stretty) , who is better?

Lukaku or Dybala?

I don't think I've ever struggled to understand anything sheriff has sad on this site and I've been a member on here for years. It really points to you having a mental deficiency more than anything pranay.

Nick...I might inject the odd bit of banter or irony....this may throw him somewhat

He's hard work though aint he...

Did you not read my comment? I'm aware that it's possible for a striker to score less than Lukaku and be better than him. Morata is not though.

What's Lukaku better at?

What's Morata better than Lukaku at?

Aside from falling over and missing one on ones.

Could you answer the question please?

Lukaku scores more goals and is a much better finisher, he's stronger, far better movement as well.

Looks like Lukaku has caught up on one on one misses as well.

Far better movement

Lukaku is static and whines like a baby when he doesn't get the perfect ball.

He doesnt have better movement at all, that's filler, his movement is awful.

In light of your earlier post to me strike rates are moot.

Morata is better at everything that involves technique.

I'll give you Lukaku being stronger but I prefer technique personally.
