This season he's been pretty poor I agree. He should at most be given some time on the bench but should definitely be considered our starting CF unless another player shows something special.

no because llorente does not suit this team.

we dont cross enough and we don't play counter attacking football.

also llrente is midtable level forward.

Not that I don't know you're trolling, but how is Llorente depending on counter attacks?

Also, it's not like he had an amazing second half of a season last year.

He has started 9 games. In those games he has done nothing. I'm not against him I like the guy a lot but there is no reason he should be starting
Well yeah, I'm not arguing against that, but saying there is no reason to say he has never shown anything to prove he's worthy to start for Juve. That's quite a bit of a hyperbole.

I'm not sold on Morata yet. He seems very eager to please, has got some pace, has had some nice moments and he got a nice goal with that header. He needs to calm down though. I get the impression he's trying too hard to prove himself. Compare him to somebody like Pereyra who came with little to no expectation and has slotted right into the team without anybody really noticing that Vidal wasn't playing. [freud] Maybe that weight of expectation is something Morata is struggling with? [/freud] We've seen him come on and be very hot headed in games which are practically decided. Hopefully it's something that will go away with time and isn't an indication what he's a provincial-type player

I do agree that Llorente is struggling for goals (however, he is opening up space for Tevez who is using that space to score the goals Llorente isn't) and that Morata needs more game time. Rotate them, sure. But there's no need to disregard Llorente's performances last year in favour of our shiny new toy who has only scored one goal for us in his career.

Biggest difference between Morata and Pereyra is age. Morata is practically a kid, so naturally he is uber pumped up, plus he is competing against his own national teammate who has an impressive first campaign with us. Imagine being 19,20,21 years old and signing for Juventus and the team bringing you knowing you will play, you want to make your mark as quickly as possible.

Pereyra doesn't get benched for not scoring, strikers do. There is more to Pereyra's game that can be analyzed by Allegri. But looking at Llorente, he can be doing other things well but if the goals aren't coming the red flags get raised. Tevez also needs someone upfront that he can combo with and Llorente isn't the most competent with the ball at his feet, perhaps Morata can add that to the attack?

Good points well made.
