Romelu Lukaku

[Joey66]

Trying to hard to score needs to pass as he could have created two easy goals for us today - Kone looked more confident IMO!

Bit crap today

He was but at least he looks interested and he probably isn't fit yet. Probably trying too hard to get that first goal of the season at present.

time to take him to feed the rabbits

I was disappointed today with Lukaku. Everyone else seemed to be having a great game, but he just didn't get in it enough.

I would of loved him to take that chance first time instead of taking a touch.

Come on Rom.

Not 100% yet, ball seemed to stick to him today though - really impressed with his touch and hold up play. Goals will come as long as he doesn't try too hard!

How long do we make the 'not fit' excuse for this season?

 

[Jreverton1]

Thank god he's allowed us to have one more season with him, where would we be? He needs to get a grip sharpish and be the player he has been the last few seasons rather than thinking he's better than us.

 

[d4kyxx]

I'd take 75m now for him.. Well actually no I wouldn't as we wouldn't have time to replace him, however he seriously needs to wake up if he wants to live up to the player he believes he is

 

[Khalekan]

Way too selfish today......didn't even try to increase his awareness of other players better placed to score than him as the game progressed.

Rom should been the one to go off when Kone A came on IMO.

 

[deipnosophist]

I don't think he's up to full fitness

 

[LinekersLegs]

How long do we make the 'not fit' excuse for this season?

Took him until mid September until he got his first goal when he came back from the World cup, think he had a foot injury then as well.

Personally not going to get too worried unless he is still scoreless by October.

 

[WarringtonBlue]

Still not fully fit

He'll be back to his old self soon

 

[ashwuk76]

Don't think it's so much his fitness that's the problem it's his confidence... A few times today I was screaming at him to shoot only for him to try and dribble past more players... when he's confident he would have shot a lot earlier than he did today...

I do think he gets one goal even an ugly tap in and his confidence is boosted and he will go on a run

 

[navidson]

How is it that the much derided Kone can come off the bench and look much more threatening than the £75m rated Lukaku?

 

[EFCPaul]

He'll start scoring soon, he knows Koeman wants another striker and if he doesn't start scoring then Ronald will absolutely drop him. I'd be more worried if he strutting about making zero effort like he was towards the end of last season.
