Lukaku

[riddick]

Perhaps but you also leave yourself very vulnerable to a fast counterattack.

It might be worth trying, it is just the one time I remember us doing it was against Crystal Palace at home last season and that has given me panic attacks even thinking about doing it again

oh good lord that was an awful awful day...

It was.

The only thing that makes it slighly more bearable was they did even worse to our loveable neighbours!

What was your appraisal of Origi from last night @hafnia, now you've seen him for about 3 games like?

Good - very impressed. Put it this way a 19 year old was the only player who tried to offer them something, he just happened to be on the wrong side.

Be about 8-9th time I've seen him now. Every time I've seen him I've been impressed with his pace, control, skill and strength. For 19 he has all the hallmarks of a top forward.

He was anonymous last night.... May as well have been sat next to me. Hibbo was laughing at him.

Must have just been me who noticed his excellent work rate on minimal service. When he did get the ball played to him his touch is very good, excellent speed and plays with his head up.

I don't need to see a good team performance to judge a player, you can learn more when someone is in a team being outplayed.

But hey! this is the "let's not worry about spending £28m on Rom because......" Thread. We don't need to worry about a Liverpool player here.

 

[Titus Bramble]

I don't remember seeing his name on the scoresheet. A £28m striker should be banging them in. Into November and he has 4 goals in all competitions.

Jesus.

Is this before or after you take into account the crucial parts of the build up to our first and third goal he played or the goal he wrongly he had disallowed?

We all know you don't rate him but even @davek gives Naismith credit where it's due (mostly).

 

[SerenityNigh]

It does seem a bit counterproductive to play with two holding midfielders against teams that sit back and defend.

If I remember correctly, Barry and McCarthy were alternately pushing very deep in the middle, and McCarthy was instrumental in at least one goal.

Receive the ball... stall the play... then try to beat Hibbert outside before a poor cross or Hibbert making the tackle.

To be fair, I saw him try something new at least once late in the match, but that didn't seem to be a great match by Origi.

LOL.

He's the Belgian Welbeck. Lukaku at his worst is 50 times the player Origi will ever be.

NEC boy your really starting to get me rather upset and angry with your guff

At the age Origi is now (19) Rom was at West Brom where he slotted 17 Premier League goals.

 

[JAYTALITY]

Like the way that Baines acknowledged it, as soon as Naismith scored Baines pointed at Rom as if to say you set that up Also as he celebrating with Naismith, as soon as Lukaku ran up he again pointed at him and gave him a lot of attention.

I always notice little things like this as they happen on the field but people always acuse me of making up stories. By the time I prove myself right, if I am lucky enough to get a replay they don't care. No one listens to me whaaaa whaaaa

 

[Baines' left foot]

I didn't notice Origi at all last night.

I was buzzing off Lukaku though. Fecking love him.

One of the lads at work looks like him too.

I'll listen Jaytality - I love those sort of on field moments.
