Lukaku

[Kiwi]

Wonder who we had as strikers before Lukaku like?
Consistency at scoring goals in the Premier League is something distinctively hard to find

 

[Groucho]

Lukaku is better than both Origi and Benteke.

The entire side had had a crap season, there's not much more to it.

@james baldwin - may I ask exactly what you expected from Lukaku this season? Baring in mind Everton have been absolute turd, and he's still a kid really.


No wind up. Just curious.

 

[sageyefc]

Laziness is not his problem. He just fails to apply his athletic gifts

7 goals actually im

6 goals in the league, with less starts than Lukaku. Maybe English is not your strong point because I never typed Origi was better this season. Fact, I made it clear he wasn't.

You said he has a better goal ratio than rom. Hes scored 14 goals in his entire club career

 

[Goat]

Origi this season has been considered pretty underwhelming for Lille, but even he has a better goals to games ratio than Rom. Still, I don't consider him an upgrade at all. Yes, he has quicker feet and is better technically, but I don't believe he's better than Lukaku.

Sticking with a Belgian theme, Batshuayi I will , definitely. and Benteke too. Benteke is simply a better all round player.

Origi 6 in 25 a goal every 4.16 games
Lukaku 8 in 29 a goal every 3.625 games.

If your gonna come on here spouting RAWK tosh, at least make it accurate.

Exactly. He's the best striker we've had in god knows how many years and people still whinge.

How is 8 goals in 30 games 182 mins/goal?

I didnt cherry pick competitions to suit an agenda thats probably why.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

This is not constructive - whatever team he may support, he has an accurate point.

He's spouting utter nonsense. He's saying that Origi's scored goals at a better rate than Lukaku.

18 in 42 or 7 in 36?

James could do with using his brain.

No what you did was blatantly ignore a valid competition that a significant impact on the 'success' of a season in order to further an agenda.

I was referring to 8 PL goals being not good enough.

Which it isn't.

Well considering every cup we were in has
significant impact on the success of our season I hardly see how putting how many goals he got in a competitions as cherry picking

You can't on one hand dismiss Lukaku's goals in Europe because of "questionable opposition", and then on the other champion Origi's 7 special goals in the bloody French league!

Talk about selective stat pulling to suit your argument

 

[Goat]

For the record, Diego Costa has scored 0 goals in 5 European games, you might wanna think about getting your own jarg strikers sorted before you come on here Jimmy lad.

Good point.

I like Lukaku but I really did expect more PL goals, if I'm honest.

But is it the sole measure of success as a striker?
Hardly
Lukaku has got goals in a relatively decent competion, one we were knocked out of playing a full strength team.
European performance is a measure of the success of the season as well as performance in the league.
He blatantly disregarded it because it didn't fit the point he's trying to make.
