He's great in the air, but that for me isn't his strongest attribute.

He's fantastic at playing with his back to goal, something we so desperately need with the way we play. Costa was good at scoring goals when we needed them but he wasn't Didier, he couldn't link up with the players, he couldn't take defenders out the game with his back to goal, Morata has been doing this very well. This game he was superb at doing exactly that, I'm so glad we signed him. 

I was a fan of Costa, but he was frustrating, he couldn't link up with Hazard, Pedro, Willian or Fabregas, it was painful at times when he would continuously lose the ball, especially on counter attacks. I haven't even seen Morata frustrate me like this, he might miss some sitters but he creates chances, he just needs to keep his head up more when it's going tough, Costa always gave it 100% when on the pitch.

    He got a shoeing in the first 5 minutes, then played all fired up, maybe Cahill should give him a good dig in the tunnel pre-match to fire him up...

    Ha ha, I used to play rugby with a huge bloke who was as soft as a kitten of the pitch, he played prop and the 2nd rower behind him would smack him one in the first scrum to fire him up, he didn't realise it was his teammates bopping him one for years and not the opposition.

    His feet are a worry. He gets in great positions, but seems to get the ball caught up in his feet a little too often. Hopefully that'll sort itself out.

    No denying the magnificence of his head though. He gets great power on his headers...and all he needs is a Dave to deliver the ball to him on a silver platter.

    Just watching the game back and it really was an excellent centre forward performance from morata. Probably the best I've seen from our centre forward, since costa at city last season. 

    Unbelievable with his back to goal, link up play was world class, and he really put himself about, which he hasn't been doing doing well enough recently. 

    I think he just needs to shoot on sight a little bit more, instead of trying to work am extra yard.

    I still can't believe that this was an actual excuse for an injury. Asensio should have just asked to keep that one secret.

    He is injured or not ? 

    And for the rumor from PSG, I think that it's false, already the player said he is pleased for having signed to Chelsea, more he has his friends spanish at Chelsea.
