Hopefully he'll come back a more confident player than what he was slowly becoming after Conte's lack of trust in him.
Why did Conte hate him so much. He's a goal scorer. Much more prolific than Morata
He's just scored another!
Conte will be gone by the time he’s back in the summer. Maybe a new manager will give him more a chance.
Could possibly be Conte's Salah/KDB moment. Hopefully he doesn't become disillusioned with the club after his treatment by Conte
2nd goal ruled offside I believe
Guessing Dortmund don’t have a purchase option at the end then
Pretty incredible debut, say what you like about his touch etc. but you can't deny he has end product.

Been saying that Bats would probably smash it if he went elsewhere and became first choice striker. He'll score plenty of goals for Dortmund this season. Whether he would want to come back to us this summer is highly debatable.

He had a 2nd disallowed, but then scored another that stood in the 2nd half. His best contribution to the game.
I like Michy and watched nearly all the game, but to be honest Köln's marking and defending were almost non-existent. It was the kind of oppo you'd dream of for a début. Dortmund's not much better, btw.
The opening goal was as easy as it gets. The one he had ruled offside would proobably have stood without VAR, but he strayed into an offside position when all he had to do was stay in line as he was totally unmarked again.
His second was deffo his best piece of work on the night.
The assist is one of those that just tots up the stats. Sideways pass to Schürrle 40 yards out on the counter. Looked a bit clumsy on a couple of breaks that could've ended better for BvB too.
All in all, excellent return for a début though, and bodes well for him considering Yarmolenko has looked terrible for them too.

I see you are tying to minimize his efforts today. How many clear cut chances has Morata lost recently? I have always maintained it 's not fair to criticize someone the coach doesn't give a chance.
Silly to let him go with Giroud who's barely played all season.
Our January signings have all been out with big injuries and none of them are ready to come straight in to the side which is a problem

Unless you watched the game, then you're just second guessing.
I doubt you did, because that's a pretty fair appraisal of how it went.
Morata didn't play by the way.
Fair play to him...he needs a break...seems the opposition are very poor though
People slagging off Bats all season and now they love him!
Need a change in scenario and looks like he is making the most of it. Obviously Michy knows where the goal is and if the play is suited to his style he will deliver.
