Have to agree.
There is a difference between bravery and stupidity and this substitution to me was absolutely the latter.

He's utter pig wank piss SELL.
If he'd had the option and another sub to use (eg. Mirallas, Del for Valencia), I'd have took Lukaku off for DCL and thrown him up top for last 25 mins. At least we'd have had someone who moves, presses and can head a ball there
Doesn't look ready for the first team.

@Mikey_Fitzgerald can you give some examples of young strikers coming into a derby game in their 2nd substitute appearance when their team is being dominated against and sent to play in a defensive right sided role please...
Then show how its improved them as players?
Im confident both myself and @mkrudden would bow down to your knowledge if you can show this...

Who knows?? It would be different if we could see him up front...

haha Zat, bloody hell. Whilst I agree with you here, both you and @Mikey_Fitzgerald are good posters. Let's debate this sensibly.
Plus i'm not bowing to anyone who rates Leigh Griffiths

Take a look at his post to me....attempting to belittle my support of the youngsters in the face of my hatred of koeman.
The boy hasnt thought this through...
Could well be right Zat, probably worthwhile keeping him around the first team and giving him some minutes here and there, and as you say, play him up front.

Too early to tell if he is a quality player or not. But the fact that we are playing him shows how weak our squad is.
Playing an attacking player on the wing is hardly a crazy or unseen thing to do be doing. It's been happening for decades
At the end of the day, we get the club we deserve
Either commit to something or don't, but don't pick and choose when it suits
I don't care if it's slightly out of position, I'm not going to roast a manager for giving a kid a chance
Our squad is depleted and he had little other options due to injuries elsewhere
Yes, he could have played Kev, and I would have been fine with it if he had, but I'm not going to slate him for not doing so
I'm happy he gave DCL a chance, it was a brave move and fair play to him
You can have a go at Koeman for certain things, such as him constantly leaving Davies out for instance, but this is not one of them and only someone who didn't have it out for him could see that

Oh, and btw Zat, clearly some nerves have been touched if you want to result to name calling
If you don't like me calling you out on your blatant hypocrisy, feel free to stick me on ignore, because you've shown today that getting in to Koeman is far more important than actually backing the kids, and quite honestly that's thoroughly disappointing
Mrk, we've got no beef pal, good luck to ya!

@Zatara
Your whole point falls flat on its face due to the fact that you haven't got a clue what DCL is capable of as you have never really seen him play, unlike the manager who sees him daily and i'm pretty sure has an idea of his capabilities.
You think he chucked him on there for a laugh? You think he is making it up as he goes along?
He maybe thought the lad could offer a bit of something and take a bit of the pressure off us and perhaps try and worry them and put them on the back foot for a while.
It didn't work, you live and learn.
