OPINION
Chelsea fans have taken on Alvaro Morata as a bit of a whipping boy for criticism this season, with the Spain international really struggling with his form. The same happened again on Sunday after their 2-0 win over Fulham at Stamford Bridge, with many fans destroying the striker for his substitute appearance. Morata was only on the pitch for a short while but still managed to miss a bit of a sitter against the Cottagers. The ball broke to him about six yards out after a save from Sergio Rico but he spooned his effort over the bar, not even managing to put his effort anywhere close. You can sadly tell that Morata is massively lacking confidence this season amid his poor run of form, and that needs to change soon if he is to salvage his Chelsea career. The likelihood is that Maurizio Sarri will look to bring in another striker either in January or the summer, and Morata needs to up his game if he is to keep his spot in the squad when that happens.
