It's just an inference from the facts, not exactly nonsensical. It depends on your assessment of Lukaku thus far, if you think it's been merely substandard as opposed to the adjective I used - calamitous - then you wouldn't so easily draw the conclusion I did. But from my view, Lukaku has been the worst performer consistently throughout the season, and with his confidence clearly shot he seems to be getting worse game-on-game. That first 45, for example, I remember one good cross, one oor shot, and 90% of his passes misplaced. Everything is breaking down when it gets to him, instead of being conducted through him. He was a marquee signing for a ridiculous fee, you can expect an unsure start, but he is supposed to be the star and he is in fact the worst player on the pitch. We don't look like scoring with him upfront. He should be hauled off now. But it would be too much of an about-face to contemplate dropping him unceremoniously now.... but it needs to be done

I can now see why jose took the money ran
Mate, what are you talking about? He's barely been able to trap the ball, what difference does it make where anybody else is? And regardless, I've not seen him fail any difficult balls. They've all been painfully simple 5/10 yard layoffs. The support couldn't get any closer.
I loved today how Naismith and Lukaku were trying to win flick-on's whilst the other player was a good 15 yards away.

Still confident he'll come good.

Yarmolenko ? Yes please
He looks to be playing heavy to me. There is a world of difference than how he played last season. He is playing like he has sandbags around his legs at the min.
