Hasan Salihamidzic is Bayern new sporting director

Great player for us and hopefully a great sporting director. He speaks 5 languages

Chelseafan1:
They have already won the league even b4 it started, look at the odds compared to other teams. He's tired of that league, that's why he is a part time Barca fan

About what?

diggz:
The mumu just waste time dey describe himself. Very phoolish boi.

joeace2020:
Their English sef na scatter. When you meet an agbero, motor park tout or primary school dropout my brother you have met a Chelsea fan. How do you united fans dat come here do it? These people nor dey reduce una IQ so?

nateevs:
Semantics. You attempted to use your gif to project Morata's inability to shield the ball from behind. Now you are shifting the post to claim that he did it as a sub, against Osasuna, in the last 15mins. Jeeeez!

Can he do it or not?

nateevs:
You mean these?

BlueAngel444:
And he is supposed to sense him or have an eye at his back, common that's a foul, like you said crashing at their backs. Even Messi with his anticipating ability won't shield that goal, he would break the player (that's if he knows a player is coming)...

Morata was moving very fast there

BlueAngel444:
Like shielding in Bball, but that's what Morata does, even better than Costa and Lukaku, with his back to goal playing like an attacking midfielder while Lukaku likes to run at opponents.

You do watch Neymar play right? When he falls you think he is diving, shielding n driving the ball can make you slip if you not balanced enough

pamcode:
Easy bro I am just trying to base my comment on video of his touches i watched and on past comments by Monikers who watched his games when was at Madrid cc Airmark. The General criticism was that He is featherweight and easily bullied by Defenders and in that aspect he hasn't proved his critics wrong to be Candid. But I agree with you that his play and technique is excellent, the crosses, Dribbles, pace it almost like what Hazard offers us in fact am so excited about his prospects but looking at the ruggedness of EPL he would need to muscle up.

nateevs:
Morata is here now and he needs to be utilised in the way that brings out the best in him and the players around him. No one alive argues that Morata has presence of Costa's ilk. There's no use bickering over it.

What Morata lacks in presence, I believe he makes up for in gameplay. The fact that Costa had to do it on his own at some point, in my humble opinion, is much more indicative of a problem with attacking synergy than it is a positive, (a stick) with which to flog Morata.

I wonder what all the panic is about sef. All the elite teams in Europe don't have a focal point in attack, that attempts to do everything on his own. Instead, they all play with a strong interchangeable attack/forward line, with synergy that makes them formidable as a collective unit. This is what we are gravitating towards. And I don't see the need for the alarms.

Rudiger, Hazard, Bakayoko, Sandro (perhaps), Pedro, Morata - 6 players - will be in the starting 11 come September. And none of them has played more than 60mins already this season. What's the problem gan?

hensben:
With what I saw today Morata is my headache now.

spartacus11:
U people hv started again, when he start scoring goals it will be interesting to see how u people will begin to change mouth, even kane messi Cr7 nor dey score for every match, make una pack well

diggz:
Tell me the special thing about our ucl winning team pls....I am waiting.

We are not like arsenal given ...and that is why you have a 70mil striker in your team.

Airmark you tell me the solution here? We have a record signing striker in morata and batshuayi who we bought for 35mil. Tell me what else you can do if the club says they are not buying another striker? Will you bench them both and play rudiger as a striker bcuz I am not following why you are assuming I am ok with what we hv cuz I am not complaining.

Plus cfc didn't even have the best of players when we won our ucl bruv. The team that lost to manU was way better. Even the one that lost to liverpool in semis. I think you are making a mistake by assuming we must have the best of legs in all positions to be able to excel.

Aspa conte not being happy with the squad,it is perfectly understandable. I have not seen anyone who is entirely ok or happy with the squad depth we have at the moment. I am sure you can see the challenges on ground aspa transfers. It is not just affecting cfc alone,manU,arsenal(Wenger factor too),etc. So chill and support the players we have for now instead of trying to pull them down.

@ diggz & airmark
That excerpt from Conte's press conference might mean that Conte might go ahead and buy another striker (certainly not a big money signing)

3-5-2 might be our main formation for this coming season..cause I don't think conte trusts playing morata as a lone striker.

Well, let Conte do whatever he wants

diggz:
When you say do well in the Ucl, what do you mean by do well? Do you mean win it or qualify out of the group stages or get to the semis or finals? What exactly is your expectation(s)?

I sincerely think you are missing the point here. This is not about what I believe in or not. It is strictly about the players that are available to us, and the players we are likely to start the season with.

Truly speaking,no matter what our personal preference maybe, I fully expect morata to start each match ahead of batshuayi. It is that simple for me. One can not pay that much money for a striker and he won't start every game. However, it is left for the Conte to decide if he wants to pair them or move one of them to the flanks that is,if he wants them both to start a game.

What I am tired of reading here is the bashing you specifically give to batshuayi. Everyone is aware he is not the perfect fit or replacement for Costa in the team. However, the boy has been doing is best whenever he is called upon. If he is my preferred striker, No! Except you want Remy to replace him,i can't see how you bashing batshuayi is helping anyone here.

diggz:
I don't get your qxn.

Ibime:
So Morata was softer than powderpuff?

Nothing I hate more than 6ft 2inch striker who is softer than woman's tïtties.

raumdeuter:
The 2 left legged hidden Hazard, any time he plays 9 its always doom

diggz:
Why not beg drogba or anelka? Abi....e get any particular or special thing wey Costa do for cfc wey striker never do before?

Costa can go kill himself,we are cfc and we will not just survive but we are going to do better.

raumdeuter:
You will still beg Costa last

hensben:
My hope is on Hazard and Pedro now to bring out the best in Morata. Could it be because he was played out of position, well let's hope so.

What do you think of conte playing two midfielders against a tactical side?

hensben:
I didn't watch that part. I had to go watch highlight of the match. Yeah he missed a clear chance. Morata off ball movement though. Costa's ruggedness willl be missed

BlueAngel444:
Morata should have gotten @least two full 90mins in preseason has a striker. Fingers crossed with anxiety...

Wish I could put both michy n Morata into a pot and some new super striker comes out.. @least 1 worth £58m + £33m (£91m).

Hated this match

hensben:
Batman didn't miss any clear chances. If you talk about him shooting unnecessarily when suppose to pass I will accept. I agree with you on Morata.

SIRcumalot:
na just preseason but batshuayi dey try.

SIRcumalot:
na the hand azpi use touch jovetic for head na him ref see.

jaysmallz:
That was too soft
