Morata has a tenuous relationship with Lopetegui and, as you said, has been in horrible form. Aspas has actually been very good for Celta this year and Rodrigo has emerged as a fairly reliable presence upfront.Morata, Bellerin, Fabregas and Marcos Alonso left out of Spain's World Cup squad. Morata the only shock there really, he's the striker most suited to their style of play although in shocking form.
Shocking, shocking call, he's one of the world's best midfielders. Martinez is a clown.Martinez omits Radja Nainggolan, who immediately retires from international football, reluctantly. Quite surprised that he's left out. Looked decent in both CL semi-finals and had a decent season. Place in the squad for Sideshow Bob, though.
I actually think Costa is the next best bet ability wise as his hold up play is terrific and allows the midfielders to get to where they can wreak havoc. Rodrigo can't slow down and hold up play. Haven't seen any of Aspas really this season.Morata has a tenuous relationship with Lopetegui and, as you said, has been in horrible form.

Lopetegui also has no qualms deputising David as a false 9 against certain teams, as the dynamic positioning it allows for wreaks havoc against back five formations, for instance.
Now, if Costa would just stay off the pitch...
The problem is he can’t pass and has very little vision, which renders hold up play useless in our system. He nearly always tries to take it on himself and, when he does attempt to lay it off, the pass is nearly always poorly weighted or to the wrong player based on the current advantage. Play breaks down with him quite a lot because Spain does not play the same counterattacking tactics as Atleti.I actually think Costa is the next best bet ability wise as his hold up play is terrific and allows the midfielders to get to where they can wreak havoc.
