Low on confidence -Low on work rate that's why I have no sympathy for him.

Bring back Brolin

Seriously?

Chelsea fans who go week in week out think he's been awful, commentators & pundits think he's been awful & his manager thinks he often doesn't warrant a start even when he has no other striker to play. How on earth does that make CE's opinion 'stupid'?

You need to stop believing that stats tell the whole story and, more importantly, stop being unnecessarily rude to other posters. Please.

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Meh.

I know at least 6 Chelsea ST holders who go home & away, week in, week out & they are all of the same opinion - he just isn't good enough.

To quote a few pundits/journos:

“It was a golden opportunity for Batshuayi to stake a claim for a first-team spot in the absence of summer arrival Alvaro Morata, who is out injured, but he failed to make an impact and was substituted off after just 57 minutes.
Conte has already warned him he faces competition from winger Eden Hazard and his performance on Saturday wouldn't have done him any favours.
'I said a couple of weeks ago that Batshuayi should be very disappointed that he [Conte] would rather put Hazard up there,' Wright said.
'The problem I have got with him is he is not working defenders hard enough to get some space to get a chance in the box, that's what he needs. He needs to make movements to get this space.
'When you watch him he doesn't move. His movement just doesn't have enough intensity about it, there's nothing in it. There were some fantastic balls [against Crystal Palace] but he was too late for many of them.
Wright outlined the main difference between the strikers is Abraham's movement is better
'That's what he has to do, he has to earn the space. When you look at the movement he does there's nothing in it. Those are the things where you're going to get goals if you're willing to put the work in.
'I think when a ball comes across you have just got to be willing to gamble and work hard to get the space, if he wants goals he's going to have to start working harder.”

“The Premier League champions are in the midst of a mini-crisis after successive defeats and an injury to top scorer Alvaro Morata. There are also serious questions about Morata’s understudy Michy Batshuayi ahead of their Champions League clash with Roma on Wednesday.
‘There is obviously Batshuayi but I don’t think Conte trusts him. The fact he had [Eden] Hazard on in the Man City game [at Stamford Bridge on 30 September] instead of Batshuayi, Conte doesn’t seem to have great faith in him.’ Morata was on target when Chelsea beat Atletico Madrid in their previous Champions League game Batshuayi’s poor performance at the weekend came under scrutiny after Chelsea fell to a shock 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace. But Sutton feels the Belgian deserves some sympathy with Conte failing to instil him with the confidence he needs. ‘I think he probably feels that Conte doesn’t rate him that highly,’. ‘In the game against Man City, putting Hazard on, you have to say at the weekend he looked short on confidence. A couple of times this season he hasn’t looked high on confidence and he’s not playing regularly.’”
MICHY BATSHUAYI isn’t good enough to be starting for Chelsea at the moment.
That’s according to BBC pundit Alan Shearer.
The Belgian striker started for the Blues in their FA Cup replay against Norwich this evening and bagged his 10th goal of the season when he opened the scoring after the break.
The 24-year-old has been linked with moves to Sevilla and West Ham this month as Antonio Conte reportedly doesn’t think he’s good enough to deputise for Alvaro Morata.
And Shearer agrees with the Italian, insisting that Batshuayi didn’t offer enough to prove his worth for Chelsea.
“Confidence is a huge thing in football as we know,” he said.
This guy hasn’t got any whatsoever. I know he’s not playing enough games and for a striker it’s an absolute nightmare.
“But when he gets his opportunity like he has tonight, he’s got to do more.
“There seems to be a lack of urgency about him, he’s got to be stronger there. He’s the guy up front his team are looking to build off.
“That’s a decent run, that’s what he’s got to do more of.
“They (Norwich) are playing quite a high line despite playing three at the back and there is space for him to do that and he’s not doing it often enough.
“At the minute he’s not asking enough questions of the defenders and they’re finding to too easy marking him because of a poor touch.”

As I've said numerous times, get your facts right, not your stats. Lazy comments & rebuffs made without actually checking the ground upon which you stand.

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

I'm sorry but matteo knows every player in world football and his is the only opinion that matters..

You're showing yourself to be a serial liar at this point - from the last page of the thread alone;

'To be fair to Conte, from what he has shown recently you can see why he doesn't want play him. Real shame, as I was hoping he could be the answer, but last night he looked a million miles away from being PL / CL standard'

Your claim was 'show me a Chelsea fan or pundit who has said this' - you've been shown numerous examples now - at least have the decency to admit you were wrong.
