Chelsea would be making a big mistake offloading Michy Batshuayi

Crystal Palace – a team that had, until that point, failed to score a goal let alone win a match – has quickly prompted rumours that the Belgian will be axed in January.

Michy Batshuayi was called upon to fill in the gap of injured striker Morata, but it wasn't one of his best matches.

His stats vs Crystal Palace: Minutes played: 56 Shots on goal: 0 Chances created: 0 Passes attempted: 13 Pass success: 69% Touches: 19 Aerial duels won: 3 Possession lost: 7

At that point, he had touched the ball just 19 times – the least amount of any player on the pitch – and failed to register a single shot on goal. It was unquestionably a dreadful performance, and one that has fuelled reports he will pay the price come January.

Conte On Batshuayi ‘I think if you compare Michy with last season he has improved a lot and he understood this league because it is not simple. He understood our style of football but he is another young player and he is working very hard to improve. This season he is finding many opportunities to play in the Champions League, in the league, to come on during the game, and to start the game. 

If you remember last season he had few opportunities to play but this season he is playing a lot and the most important thing is to show he is improving. Also don’t forget as a striker I can utilise Hazard. Last season we played two games with Hazard as a No.9, alongside Willian and Pedro. If I see a game where this is the solution I am ready to do that again but Michy is deserving to have opportunities to show he can play.’
