He knows that the coach has faith in him, he has got his spot and now he will pay back by scoring goals. Scored one already, second was disallowed due to offside. 

I'm happy for him that he started in that way, can't wait for more.

Yeah but you can't just be a poacher and score sh*t loads of goals unless you fit the classic criteria of looking like a football player in between scoring the goals.

Of course, by saying scoring goals I meant just a small part of it. Of course that there are more things for him to do, but goals are basic for a striker.

You wont see Alvaro wrap his left foot around a shot like that.

To be fair coco is really hard to do that after being floored by a vicious cough from the defender...

Actually i was being sarcastic, Lineker and some on here have this notion that just being a poacher who scores heavily is not enough in the modern game. I think they have drunk too much wine myself.

The striker is made to score goals, there are simple strikers that know where to be at the right time and put the leg, or be a creative striker that can create things and finish with a goal as well. I think having both of this strikers would be the best, you will have more options in your gameplan, more ideas for different counter attacks. But overall, when your striker scores them goals and wins you games, there is no reason to complain.

Good on Michy. Great feint towards goal to make space for the finish. 

Hope he scores a mountain of goals, but that he also learns to hold the ball up and contrubute to play.

Michy fact:

Michy has played in 55 games, 1952 minutes for Chelsea (mainly as sub) . And as yet has never been booked for us.

Batshuayi tries to create space/make himself available for Pulisic but runs into an offside position, Dortmund concede possession, Koln score.

And then scores again lol

He's got his second

It's not just about scoring goals, he's all round play needs to improve significantly. Too many times he produces a poor first touch, and has problems holding the ball up. Needs an all round good spell with Dortmund. No need for him here if he just scores tap ins every now and then but does nothing else. Great start for him and BVB.

Bizarre you don’t judge forwards on their goals anymore.

Was he supposed to be marking the bloke that just scored for Koln?

Shocking defending by Batshuayi, just stood there like a lemon...

Watch him go and score again lol

Love the little Dortmund fan's Batman beanie! They've taken to Michy already!

Not a bad finish from Shirley there. This is so open.

Now now he is our player you got to give him the benefit of the doubt here...

Who said anything about 20+ goals. He'd only ever get them if he played week in week out for City. Or maybe for anyone other than Chelsea. Oh well.
