I love his runs, his willingness to take on players, and his work rate. That goal was an epic fuck you to all his doubters/detractors.
It's nice that we finally have such a direct player who's goal is to run at defenders and make shit happen
But at the same time it's sad that not only is it such a strange sight after all these years, we had to wait for a kid to come along and do something nobody else has been able to, and add some direct play into our game.

The problem with llorente right now is that he cant create for himself and fails in build ups that dont involve one twos.
In this period of poor service and bad form...we need guys like morata who can make things happenon his own...badly.
If Allegri starts llorente vs Oly, we are out. As simple as that

Imagine a fast, direct winger to go along with Morata and Tevez
Just the beginning indeed

Yep we'd be mad to bench him right now. 2 goals in limited apps, and he obviously will improve big time with a steady run of starts, especially considering fat Rubinho forced him to miss most of the pre-season
Needs to start from now on, don't care what Llorente did before and how much space he used to create, because as far as this season goes he's been our most useless player. Morata on the other hand is extremely talented youngster, fantastic movement off the ball, quick, good dribbler, when given decent amount of playing time he'll deliver the goods.

He certainly has pace for it and last season he started fair amount of games on the wings.

Finally the kid shows his true colors. I like forwards like Morata, he's a very all rounded one. Explosive and not afraid of trying. We've been missing a player like him for such a long time. Adds a lot of pace and directness to our play which we're lacking badly. Right now picking between him and Llorente is a very easy choice.
I love his movement and the way he's thinking. Yes he needs to improve his decision making but if he had more support upfront he'd look even better.
Fantastic goal. Gimme more kiddo, I'm counting on you.

Let's be honest, he won't start and here is why:
-Italian coaches play it safe, esp in CL...Llorente is the sure bet as he has more "experience".
-revert back to what worked last year, even if it isn't working this year
-having a target man that's larger than the greeks will trump a striker that's actually in some kind of form
-Tevez - llorente chemistry will be the excuse. Morata hasn't played with Tevez enough and can't risk that in such an important game
-risks = ebola to Italian coaches
-------
I'm sure you can add to the list.
Morata will be on the bench.

Marchisio? :shock:
