Alvaro Morata: Chelsea fans absolutely FUME as striker misses sitter at Burnley
ALVARO MORATA was the target of serve criticism from Chelsea fans after a massive gaffe against Burnley.
Alvaro Morata missed this sitter for Chelsea
Morata was through on goal midway through the second half but somehow put his one-on-one effort wide.
He had already missed a sitter in the first half, adding to his miserable debut Blues season to date.
Chelsea had been 1-0 up at the time and moments after Morata’s miss, Burnley drew level through Ashley Barnes.
And Blues fans were left raging online following the Spaniard’s mistake.
One fan wrote: “Morata made sure Chelsea won't go home with maximum points with that miss.”
Morata can hear the trumpet and still MISS heaven
Another put: “How many times have we seen Morata miss those kinda chances; is that guy even worth the huge money wasted on him already.”
A third wrote: “Morata miss then his team concedes. Blood on his hands”
Further Twitter followers joined in, with one supporter saying: “Defended Morata all season but can't defend that miss, jesus f****** christ…”
And one fan remarked Chelsea should have stuck with Diego Costa in the summer.
Alvaro Morata only had the goalkeeper to beat
They wrote: “All I’m saying is @diegocosta puts that in the net 9/10 times. Morata’s £70m should’ve be been spent on counselling between #Conte and #Costa god we miss that mans anger and fight”
And a final fan summed it up with: “Morata can hear the trumpet and still MISS heaven”
