He basically can't shoot, which isn't ideal. Until we get a striker in it might be an idea to start Lookman on one of the flanks as at least he knows where the net is.

Lookman has one league goal. I'm not sure why he has this status in the minds of lots of our fans. Our threat yesterday disappeared when he came on. He needs to do far more.
 
He’s a proper footballer and you can never have too many of those in your team
When he gets up to speed with the league he will be immense.
Only David Silva has produce more chances from open play per 90 minutes this season
 

Think he needs to be given a bit more than half a season before we can properly judge him, to be honest. Personally, I think he's a little cracker who will cause many problems for a lot of teams we play and, at times, will frustrate our own fans.
 

If he didn’t slip so often we’d be talking about how world class he is. Just needs to quit choking when he gets into a good area. Same with Theo

Erm, not sure on that Tim.

We offered nothing for the first 15 of the second half. It's not that Walcott going off changed that, but we had a lot more threat after Lookman came on. Silva himself said we controlled the game from the 65 minute mark (which is true, until the very last minutes, of course).

He played well when he came on and deserves a go.

I'm not a Walcott hater at all and thought he played well yesterday, but now the games are piling up we use our squad.

Lookman also scared them sh*****s any time he had the ball. His first run he skipped past four players and set up a chance for Gylfi to shoot.
 
His link up play in midfield is fantastic but he currently can't find the composure in and around the area to create anything meaningful. If Lookman is going to get his chance, and he should, I'd put him in for Bernard.

Because defenders are petrified of him, he's 21 years old and this season he looks a completely different prospect after his loan spell than he did over the last few seasons. He's a naturally gifted player and if he comes good on his natural talent, he'll be excellent.
 
I likes him a lot. Only worry is we need a proper striker, and it’s tough to see where both he and Richarlison fit into a team with a new striker.

He will be the cover for Richarlison and Sigurdsson. It's a squad game now and if either of them get injured or lose form bringing Bernard in will not lower the quality. Next season with European football there will be plenty of games for everyone and by then he should be completely up to speed. Who would have thought we would have two high class Brazilians competing for a position we've come a long way!
