Michy Batshuayi

Another player who gets too much credit for simply being a likable guy.  Michy is hysterical on social media and well liked by his teammates but he’s simply not good enough.  The difficult thing here is that Chelsea manager Antonio Conte clearly doesn’t rate him very highly so he can’t be that overrated.

It’s simple in this scenario: Michy Batshuayi has been atrocious in every game he has played against top-level competition.  His goal numbers are inflated by the fact that he scored a large amount of goals in a match against Nottingham Forest.

Against bigger and better teams though he has been a horror show.  Honestly it doesn’t make sense.  He’s fast, strong and committed and yet for some reason just a black hole of misplaced passes and poor control when he’s on the pitch.  This one is mainly a shame.
