No chance. I'm far too busy trying to delve through the countless, egoistic tripe in an attempt to gauge people's genuine opinions to moderate.

If I were to summarise the situation:
  • Lukaku was poor today,
  • He has been poor in numerous other games this season,
  • Rom is certainly not the finished article and has areas he needs to improve in: play with back to goal, rubber-feetitis, etc.
  • He has played well in other games,
  • He still scores goals: 15 last season and 4 already this season,
  • Only Aguero, Suarez and RVP have scored more Premier League goals over the last three seasons,
  • He is only young.
Some will think he is awful and over priced; others will think he is making a good return of goals. Most fans think he is okay and will improve.

The evidence above could easily be used to argue each point to a successful level. Maybe, just maybe, it is a little bit of each option.

Fair critical analysis of is what we want - be that good or bad. Egoistic tripe aimed at inciting other people only amuses you*; nobody else.

*By YOU I mean the person who is posting it, I am not aiming it at you personally. Well unless you're the one posting the tripe.

he was poor today but he has been turned into felliani by Martinez this season, challenging for the ball with his back to goal trying to head flick ons to no one there. that's not his game he needs through balls fed in to him from the midfield which they are not doing. We are like crabs our game is to get it out wide or if not rather than make a through ball we play it simple and safe to lukakus feet which isn't his game.

I said it all season stick an erikson, coutinho, mata or sanchez type striker behind him he'll be on about 7-8 goals right now.

We need to just trust Ross in that position and have a decent proper left winger to stretch their defence.

In a way the problem is that because we conceded so many earlier Baines and Coleman don't get forward as much and now we have no width.

Lukaku was poor today but we need to change how we're playing slightly too.

Good centre forwards do play with their backs to goal, they control balls and hold up play to bring other attacking players in

The ball bounces off this guy and the attack breaks down and we end up back defending or stretched by a counter attack

The guy is useless and his finishing is to be blunt garbage when actually on goal
