Former Egypt and Tottenham striker Mido has claimed that Chelsea will not win major trophies if they keep playing Alvaro Morata as their main striker. Morata joined the Blues in the summer of 2017 but has since struggled to make his mark at Stamford Bridge.
The 26-year-old, who initially started this season as the second-choice striker, has recently found form but is yet to convince fans. But the Spain international, who currently overturned Olivier Giroud, has scored four goals in his last six Premier League appearances.
Meanwhile, Blues manager Maurizio Sarri, has since rewarded a starting spot in the last five games. However, Mido, who was a fan of Morata during his time at Juventus, has urged Chelsea to look for a better Plan A than sticking on Morata.
“He’s disappointing,” Mido said of Morata on talKSPORT. “I watch a lot of football in Italy and to be fair to him at Juve he played very well.” “But in Italy, the game is a little slower and he’s quick, so with his runs in behind defenders, and he’s a good finisher.”
“But I just felt the other night [against Tottenham] that the Chelsea players don’t trust him.”
“Many times he’s made his runs, but it’s like they feel that if they give him the ball he’s going to give it away. They have doubts about him.” “If you want to win something, Morata shouldn’t be your first choice, that’s my opinion.” “He’s good as a Plan B. He’s good if you plan to play direct and get long balls into the box.”
“But to be the first striker at a club like Chelsea, you need to be like [Didier] Drogba and you need to have that trust from everyone around you. I don’t think he has that.”
Chelsea will host PAOK on Thursday night in their Europa League clash ahead of their Premier League London derby with Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
