Lukaku vs Morata

Page 9 of 29

posted on 7/11/18

ACTUAL comparison of goals by competitions

PL: Morata 16 goals in 41 apps, Lukaku 20 goals in 44 apps
CL: Morata 1 in 7, Lukaku 5 in 11
FA Cup: Morata 2 in 6, Lukaku 5 in 6
Carling Cup: Morata 1 in 5, Lukaku, 0 in 3
International Record: Morata 13 in 25, Lukaku 45 in 79

All of Morata's ratios are bad, he only has 25 caps and 13 goals internationally compared to Lukaku's 79 and 45 respectively and Morata is OLDER than Lukaku.

That's an actual comparison rather than cherry picking stats that support what you're trying to say.

In the PL, Lukaku has scored 1.25x the amount of goals Morata has scored in approx 1.07x the amount of apps,so that record isn't as close as you wrongly think as well.

Pranay still having a nightmare

Why would you not use how many goals they each scored in one full season?
------------------------------------------------
Use it if you want but then I suggest you change your article to just comparing them last season instead of comparing them overall as you've stated.

Just compared them overall using every competition instead of just one.

If morata or lukaku was injured all year would you compare by season?

Surely comparing goals per game is the smartest thing to do as has been stated by superb and everyone else above?

For example if someone scores 17 goals in 34 games and misses some(ACON,Injury,rested) surely it's as comparable as 20 in 40 games.

They're both average players anyway. Lukaku's technical ability for a pro footballer is atrocious.

Literally just done that. I'll copy paste it if you can't read up a few centimetres?

IN BOTH SEASONS, in all competitions:

"ACTUAL comparison of goals by competitions

PL: Morata 16 goals in 41 apps, Lukaku 20 goals in 44 apps
CL: Morata 1 in 7, Lukaku 5 in 11
FA Cup: Morata 2 in 6, Lukaku 5 in 6
Carling Cup: Morata 1 in 5, Lukaku, 0 in 3

And still shown that their stats are very comparable

How are they comparable?

PL: Morata ratio 0.39, Lukaku ratio 0.45
Champions League: Morata 0.14, Lukaku 0.45
FA Cup: Morata 0.33, Lukaku 0.83
Carling Cup: Morata 0.20, Lukaku 0.00

Internationally: Morata 0.52, Lukaku 0.57
(But here it's worth pointing out Lukaku has significantly more caps and thus goals than Morata despite being younger - can't argue it's due to Spain having better strikers since in the past few years they've have only really Diego Costa as an outstanding striker and he was out of favour for a while)

How many of those are starts though. Can you do that with starts, or by minutes. That's the fairest way to do it pranay.

posted on 7/11/18

Are you furrrking for real? I give you stats per game and now you want me somehow go and find exactly how many minutes they've played?

If the stats favoured Morata, would you then ask me to go find how minutes they'd played?

posted on 7/11/18

Yeah probably, cos I don't particularly rate morata.

Just feel it's the fairest way to do it, as you stated him and giroud have chopped and changed a lot this and end of last season.

I'd prefer us to play Giroud.

posted on 7/11/18

The best thing here is that as time passes and Morata's little purple patch at the start of last season becomes an increasingly smaller fraction of his total time at Chelsea, the stats for him will get worse and worse whereas Lukaku's ratios will remain fairly constant I would think.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So Morata was replaced because he wasn't good enough then - and that's something that's supposed to help him in this comparison?

posted on 7/11/18

PL: Morata ratio 0.39, Lukaku ratio 0.45 = very comparable.

Internationally: Morata 0.52, Lukaku 0.57 = very comparable.

The CL and domestic cup comparison is taken from a spread of much fewer games so is less relevant.

Erik can you imagine if Chelsea signed Nabil Fekir of Lyon,Mauro Icardi of Inter Milan and Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli,it would be world class especially with those three and Hazard plus Kante in the team.We would become one of the favourites to win Champions League at least on paper.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Erik already imagines a lot of things...that's his trouble
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing you type ever makes sense to me
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That makes perfect sense to me...you're a deluded numpty

----------------------------------------------------------------------
And you decide what's relevant? So we can't talk about Morata's 1 in 7 CL goals vs Lukaku's 5 in 11?

And internationally, why does Morata have significantly less caps (13 goals in 25 caps) compared to Lukaku (45 goals in 79 caps)?

posted on 7/11/18

That's crazy, the only stat which is unfair to talk about is ironically the only stat in Morata's favour since Lukaku has only played 3 carling cup games (and I'd bet without checking that he didn't start all of those games)

Erik you're mistaking me for someone whose defending morata when i'm not, it's just your so up lukaku's ass that you cannot see that. like I say i'm not a massive fan of morata.

He was dropped last year because he wasn't good enough, and had a back injury.

Their records look comparable though, and by minutes would give us the best comparison.

posted on 7/11/18

Quite obvious why morata has less caps than lukaku. Lukaku is Belgians only striker really. Morata has had several Spanish strikers to contend with including costa.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
in 5 different categories Lukaku comes up best in 4 of them and comfortably best in 2 of those 4. Morata comes out best in the one with the smallest number of games and such the most unreliable ratio.

It's quite obvious that Lukaku wins this. You're clutching at straws when the answer is clear to anyone that isn't either angry at me or simply biased about their own player.

Who are the other several Spanish strikers? Wasn't Costa dropped by Spain at one point as well?

Erik knows this...he's being a fackin bell...he's up against bats and Benteke. ..I'd fancy my chances again them

He also said Lukaku is better than Aguero the other day

I'd argue that competing with Dries Mertens for a place for Belgium is harder than competing with Diego Costa for a place for Spain as well.
