hoping him to slot 20 PL goals next season minimum with him finally getting a good rest, no world cup and time to heal the injuries and the impending possibility we're going to buy a proper playmaker.

overall his game has improved over the season, in different ways he has become a more well rounded striker.

Fully expect 15-20 goals from him next season now though. Premier league goals.

I agree. For the people giving him stick go watch some of the matches from the first few months. He had cement legs and no control or touch. He still is not perfect but he is showing that he is working on his deficiencies and showing improvement. Once we get an actual 10 then you will see the goal totals jump up.

There are still some areas he can improve on. I hope he still works on his first touch and passing. Would like him to become more of a threat in the air and on set pieces. Most of all he needs to learn how to F*CKING TIME HIS RUNS. There are little excuses for some of his offsides.

I think the timing of his runs will come with age. He obviously needs to improve on that but it's not always his fault, the lack of a creative player in our team means that he often receives the ball too late after making a good run.

I believe so too. Lukaku you can tell is a student of the game and will work on this issue. I expect improvement. There have been also plenty of great runs he made where we just don't have a player that can make the necessary pass. We need to find someone in the David Silva mold more than anything else IMO.
 
any vines for the goal the stream I had on went of in the last minute
I didn't even know till about 10 mins after we won ffs was about to go to bed
annoyed too. FFS STREAMZ. or highlights anywere?
 
He's been awful and still managed to get 20 goals, half of which were in Europa league like but still he has something about him cos I've never seen anybody be as abysmal and score so many.

Just read that Lukaku now has more goals in all competitions this season than Diego Costa. Great stat.

Played 16 more games like.

Of course, pointing that out will now make me a "Lukaku hater". Same as pointing out that the "leading scorer since Cottee" ignores that Cottee didn't play in Europe and that it's a false stat as Yakubu scored 21 in one season in eight fewer games, averaging a better than 1 in 2 record too.

The nerve of him scoring loads of goals in Europe.

His stats deffo show him as a better player than what he has been for us, anybody watching the games would have to agree.
