He's gonna bench Llorente I think.

Yes it needs to happen.

If you recall Conte's Juve, he limited Tevez to a more SS role playing closer to our 9, that's why the pair understood each other so well, many 1-2's suggesting both were always involved in our goals, directly or not.

With Allegri's system (AND without Pirlo) Tevez has more freedom and is playing like a true number 10, not "attached" to the other striker anymore and Dictating everything going forward. Llorente as an individual hasn't the best of skills and ends up being isolated, lacking services and really can't do much about it.

Without good crosses or the team closing the gap between the mid and Llorente, he'll find it ever so hard to turn things around and adapt to it. It's very likely Morata, given that he keeps it up, will bench Llorente.

Man, what a difficult thing to say for me as a llorente fanboy, but seriously, morata's technique and speed will help us much more right now that we are playing a football with movement instead of relying with longballs

 

[JCK]

I like his grinta and his header was fantastic.

 

[MikeM]

Still Morata's performances are coming when we are ahead and the other team is open. I'd like to see him from the start to see how he copes in a different situation.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Fantastic goal, hopefully the first of many.

I think the time will come for that. It looks either way that he is ready to start a match instead of Llorente.

 

[Hydde]

I think he will do fine. He has the tools to work with.
What I want is more unpredictability in our build up, and llorente seems to be struggling a lot now that theres a lot more going on around him

After our next two games. Atletico and Roma are no fixtures we should use to experiment.

Llorente has offered next to nothing in the majority of the games this season. He has been trying to hold up play, only to lose possession constantly. I rather play Morata who can actually run at defenses

 

[jukazem]

Very happy about his goal but a bit disappointed that he isn't getting minutes yet, less than 60 minutes so far this season I think.

[Tevez10]

His speed and technique
He can take on, any defender.

Exactly.

Sometime, things should just eb done without thinking much about it. Its clear Llorente is struggling right noww...and morata seems to be fine and at ease with the ball at his feet at the very elast.

Fer´s ball control right now is being abysmal for some unknown erason

I don't think he has lost possession constantly. In fact, today he even did well to hold possession and feed Licht who assisted a goal.

And Morata can only run at defenses when there is space to run. In the first 30 minutes of today's match, there was no running at Atalanta's defence.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Great that he has finally got off the mark with his first goal for us Here's to many more, Alvaro!

 

[Red]

Morata might appear to do more than Llorente if he was to play in his place.

But I think you would suddenly, magically, coincidentally, find that Tevez had much less space in which to operate than he has so far this season.
