I remember when I got slated for mentioning us signing Vardy before the window shut. Batshuayi offers nothing up front.
Vardy would of give us a different dimension in the champions league. His pace, work rate and finishing would have been great for rotation.

Looks like you rite Loco but Vardy is much older so.

And then he scores two goals 😂 But honestly I haven't been impressed with him.

Two goals does not hide the fact that Bats is not good enough for us and I just cannot see any improvement on the horizon. That has to be one of the worst teams we have had at the Bridge from Europe.

His first touch is what let's him down, everything just seems to bounce off of him whether it be his chest, foot or thigh. His poor touch then means he's always chasing after the ball when he could actually be taking a shot at goal if he controlled the ball instantly. Batshuyai needs to work on his touch above anything.

I think your overly harsh on the guy. He wants to impress as we all do it just has not clicked for him yet properly. He loves the club that's evident plus he has Sat on the bench for what. two years and we never hear a peep out of him. Better him than someone that will demand this and that.

I love bats and I rate him a lot. As denningtonbear said he never complains and trust loves Chelsea so better him no complaining then someone who would cause a bust up. He is strong, he has a great shot, he's tall, fast, the only thin that let's hm down is his first touch and it is evident in game that's what he needs to wrk on. He's not our number 1 striker but he's a pretty good back up . he's a better backup than what most teams have; Arsenal - Welbeck / Spurs - Llorente / Liverpool - Sturridge / Barcelona - alcacer / Madrid - don't even have a back up striker. This just shows that although he's not the best, he's better than the opponents in his position in their clubs.

From what I saw last night, Batshuayi didn't really have many chances to be fair to him. In the first half especially, there were a couple of situations in which he was just unlucky. Of course his first touch does need to improve but I don't remember too many where he ruined a goal scoring moment by it.

Batshuayi isn't quite the finished product yet. He can be very good but he needs learn to play smart more and know when to apply his hold-up play (strength) .
He has to work on his runs (behind the defence and take up some good positions), he rather prefers holding up play- using his strength at all times which isn't always smart (the effect of that is that it wastes the speed of those playing off him like Willian, Pedro and Hazard) . Don't get me wrong, his hold up play is above average but he needs to know when to apply it and when to make runs.
He should also know when to fall at times when a defender marks him closely.
BOTTOM LINE- HE WILL GET BETTER AND SMARTER WITH TIME, HARDWORK AND GOOD COACHING.
