5Q REVIEW: What to learn from last weeks draw with Chelsea – RDA sits down with Pride Of London to discuss all!

Question 3
Anthony Martial makes it 2-1 and United sit back, Sarri brings Morata off for Giroud, right call to get back into it?
@Travtical (PoL): This game was probably more made for Morata than Giroud. That being said, every time we say that, Morata proves us wrong. Make no mistake, it is not just his fault, but he does seem a bust more often than not. Giroud can add some steel and a reference point up top but he really isn’t scoring either. The only real thought was that whenever Sarri swaps his strikers in games, it usually works. So we had hope that stayed true.
@ol14__ (RDA): Yes. For me, Morata was Chelsea’s worst player. The number of times he either lost the ball or went to ground when receiving the ball into feet with his back to goal was ridiculous. Having said that, he was up against United’s inform centre-half who pocketed another target man.
When you’re the solo frontman, the ball needs to stick, with Morata nor Lukaku it did not. Giroud has been in top form this season and his link up with Hazard could have damaged United more in the first half.
