Lukaku. Yes or no

[parkendkev]

Improved a hell of a lot and will score for fun with the quality of players around him at Chelsea, Boss slotter.

Yeah Andy Gray is certainly more physically imposing than Romelu Lukaku you nailed that one

Yeah.... He battered the Bayern Munich defence pretty much on his own when tackles were tackles and strikers got properly hit.

It's just funny to me when people think professional athletes have somehow gotten slower and weaker than they were 30 years ago

Made up for the big man, Chelsea will run city very, very close if he carries on playing like that.

 

[wainy]

P.s Can we please stop calling him a beast ..... He really really isn't and it's embarrassing unless you are 14 and like comic books.

Shearer, Hughes, Ferguson, Andy Gray, Sharp, were "beasts".... If I would use that phrase.

This lad has been dominated by centre halves that wouldn't have stood a chance against the players above. He has moments where he uses his physique but for the size of him he is very much lacking in aggression

Ferguson, as in Duncan Ferguson who turned up for 4 games a season?

Two different things, Ferguson could only really get up for the big teams against players that would make it a sport, see the Stam footage etc. He's still a beast in that mode regardless of stats.

Rom is the opposite, the worse the opposition the more he knows he will fill his boots, the better he plays. He would be in Jaap's pocket all day everyday. For proof see almost every match that had proper meaning, Semi finals international and domestic and a final where he scored the winning goal for the opposition.

In an ideal world you would have someone like Rom getting you to the sharp end of competitions and then have Dunc to win them. Lukaku has definitely improved but we need to see can he go up a level to be the man when it most counts.

 

[Hogwild]

Happy for Rom - wish nothing but the best for the big fella

 

[ToffeeTim]

What a player

No coincidence our recent troubles started basically after he was sold. And he was a bargain at 80m too... we got a bad deal.

Completely missed the point.

Did he really? I love the way people rewrite history with him. Played through compressed nerve in his back with arguably the worst support players we have had in recent years. Single handedly carried the fight for us

 

[TheBigIguana]

Easy to do when it's complete garbage

At the same time it's wild to criticize people for not knowing what they're talking about when you've got nothing to offer on anything ever...

I'll leave the posting of fanciful nonsense to good folk like yourself.

I'm here for casual bumming dates with like minded blokes. Never once have I pretended to like or care about football.

Be great if he can do it next week at Anfield, we need them to lose soon
