Lukaku. Yes or no

Don't bite lads. Don't bite!

If I wanted to play devil's advocate you could argue that his Champs League goals (aside from PSG and Barca) have all come against second tier oppo. As for bagging goals against 7th place Lazio - who have shipped a few goals this season - and whilst Serie A teams are famed for being hard to break down with great defensive organisation, it's tough to judge if his performances in the league are not up against world class defenders. Quick look at his Serie A goalscoring record. Not a lot of goals against top 4-5 teams is there? And aside from a brace against a then-11th in the table Napoli, all of his multi-goal games come against dodgy teams.

Was speaking to my mate not long ago after Lukaku bossed England in the Nations League or whatever. How good he looked in that match over 90 mins - totally unplayable - albeit switching between Declan Rice and Harry Maguire - he had a field day. Easy to forget that he is only just approaching his peak years. He will be judged based on what he does in the next 3-4 years I reckon.

But goals are goals, can't argue against the record

It does tend to be harder to score against teams that are better but his record is fine by any metric imo

Has Cenk Tosun scored against anyone any good ?

It does doesn't it. Which is why those who do tend to be better

You're confusing me saying he's not World Class with me saying that he's rubbish but 21st Century life is binary so fairplay

He scored a decent one the other week, or month, havnt a clue.

No idea who against though.

 

[Seathestars]

On ability yes

On impact / service to the club Lukaku hands down.

Would you let him bang your Mrs if he came back

Tubey reckons he’d miss

Tubey reckons he’d miss

That first touch would spoil the whole thing

 

[Seathestars]

I reckon he’s the best finisher I’ve seen at Goodison besides Lineker.
Just a pity about his ego, we could go places with him

 

[marsh]

hello buddy here is one trick pony Lukaku in his most recent game hanging round the goal against some cow milkers called lazio.

Tosun could do that easy hahahahahaha

 

[marsh]

No wonder we couldn't get rid of Cenk, apparently we wanted about 80m for him

 

[AndyC]

The only possible reason I can see for someone rating Tosun over Lukaku as a footballer is race related. I've had a look through some of your posts on Saha and Yakubu too and it doesn't look good.

Knock it off with the racist accusations !!!

 

[paulbefc]

I think even Cenk Tosun himself would be in tears laughing at this, as I currently am.

Sensational.

And now adds a goal to the assist.

Big game, big performance from the big man.
