Ruud Gulit in his post-match reaction following Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Newcastle on Sunday stated that he felt sorry for Chelsea’s center forward Alvaro Morata.

Despite having 75% of possession, Alvaro Morata had to feed from the scraps in the game. The home team which deployed negative football tactics were able to hold the Blues for over 76 minutes until Eden Hazard opened the scoring. The Blues were pegged back as Joselu levelled the games, and had to dig deep to secure a victory in the game as a DeAndre Yedlin’s own goal three minutes from time settled the game.

Chelsea legend Ruud Gulit however, was not impressed with the club’s performance. As a pundit on the match of the day, he gave reasons why the London club struggled and why he pity Morata.

“They had 80 per cent possession but they didn't do anything with it,” said Gullit. “I didn't think they played that well and one of the reasons was the way they used the ball”. “They all wanted to play through the center of the pitch and it was so easy for Newcastle to defend”. “They couldn't find any space. Azpilicueta should have used the width of the pitch more but he was scared to”. “And it happened the whole time. 80 per cent possession! “Get the ball out to the wing and get a good cross in”.

Morata was substituted 20 minutes in the second interval after just 20 touches of the ball. “Morata, I feel sorry for him because with this type of possession you can't score goals,” Gullit added. “They needed to stretch the opposition by having players high up the pitch which they eventually realized”. “All of a sudden they started getting good crosses in but by that point Morata had been taken off”.

Chelsea currently remains on nine points with Liverpool and Watford.

Let him come to ARSE-NAL

Lol. We warned him not to join that racist club called Chelsea but he never listen.

H

Sorry Morata.

Chelsea did their best. Newcastle were out to play a frustrating, non-entertaining, defensive and cowardice style of football. We saw the same style of game last season when we played against Crystal Palace (Game ended 0-0).
A team that opts for a draw in their ''HOME" at the beginning of a season should be banned by FIFA. That was the most boring game I've watched in a while.
Even Rondon and Murphy that I was looking out for were forced to be defenders.
I understand most of their players were on injury, but that should't be an excuse for fielding ALL your players as defenders na!!
Anyway the 3 points was well deserved and we broke another record 84% ball possession!!!
84% - C'mon! Who does that?

We don't have a striker

we are taking him to our women team very soon. hazard should start upfront now that we are no longer using longball

Moratta needs to play for a club that plays fluid football. Maybe Arsenal.

One word for sari

That's his problem

Newcastle learnt the negative football ⚽ (bus parking) from Mourihno when he was in Chelsea

Chased out costa for this bench warmer
