Give Alvaro Mor praise, Sarri

-

MAURIZIO SARRI deserves huge credit for getting Alvaro Morata scoring again – and the player deserves a pat on the back, too.

But there’s something not quite right in the chemistry between the pair (left).

I didn’t like Sarri saying Morata was fragile on Sunday after his double in the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.

What you need your manager telling people is, ‘He was exceptiona­l, he looks like a man mountain again.

‘The Premier League should beware of him now because this is the Morata Chelsea bought in the first place’. It reminded me of the time John Gregory barracked me for not scoring a hat-trick rather than praising me for scoring twice in a training session at Aston Villa.

When the barriers you have to jump over are made bigger, it can feel like you’re fighting a losing battle.
