The lad is still getting stick for taking a shoulder to the jaw. The media really can be a joke

He's more than comfortable on the deck as well, I don't see him as purely a target man, looks to have a decent all round game. Let's hope he develops into the real deal.The only thing I'm perhaps slightly concerned about is that we'd be encouraged to play more route one based on his presence up top. Fair enough, use him as an out ball when we need it, but we need to treat him like any other striker who prefers being played in with the ball to feet.
I thought his performance on Monday was a real coming of age performance, he had their back three rattled, he had Kompany 'taking on for the team'as he just couldn't cope with him.To be fair to the kid, he worked as hard as Straq did and also displayed actual pace and skill.
At least as good...probably better at holdup play compared to Rom. Seems to actually have depth perception.

Yeah playing route one too much would be a concern, reality is though he's not yet the first choice striker that we will build our game around as Lukaku has been in the past few seasons so should not result in a complete change of style.The only thing I'm perhaps slightly concerned about is that we'd be encouraged to play more route one based on his presence up top.

Didn't realise how quick he was until Monday night.
He's got real potential, but he's young and will undoubtedly have games which will bring the 'gash' shouts back in between his good games.
Can see him getting 10 league goals this season - already has a couple of assists
