Romelu Lukaku

[jinkyali]

The problem with Rom is that his sluggish play indirectly cost us the first goal today. Loses the ball, they break n tap in.

For all his goals he has major flaws in his game. Probably why he is playing for a mid table team compared to a Bayern or UTD.

The point I was making was, yes sell him, but we are allowed to bring other players into the club!! A good barometer of how good a striker he is, will be to ask people who support different clubs would they take him for their current forwards. I have acquaintances who support city, Liverpool and United (no brainers here as they just scoff at the thought) however I have a mate who supports west brom and another who supports boro and neither of them would swap him for rondon or negredo respectively and both are very knowledgeable about football. I think that says it all

Your mates are lying or too proud

And I wouldn't blame him.

For a club with high ambition we are terrible on the pitch. Anyone good will want to leave here, anyone who doesn't want to leave is why we are doing so badly.

I wouldn't blame him either. And yes, the rest of your post is spot on.

I bet he's fed up playing for us in such a poor team.

That said, I reckon he would score even more goals if he shot first time instead of always taking an extra touch, so he's not quite the finished article in my opinion.

As are you

I think that goal was his fault as he gave it away so easy to get the Watford move started.

OK. But that still leaves ten players to stop the goal, most of whom are actually only on the pitch to try to do just that. (and failing miserably)

I reckon he's out of here as early as January.

We can only hope. We'll never have a functional unit while he's still a player at this club

Without him we would almost certainly be fighting to stay up, the one really good player we have got, anyone who does not get that knows little about footy....imo

... or we'd have a player who can link play up instead, play better football as a team and be much better off.

i support FC Romelu first and foremost and it's been a good season with 9 goals. At this rate we will get at least 20 to make it another successful season

Everton are crap anyway

Lets find us a Asa Hartford and Denis Stracqualursi, that will do it.

Must be one of the few players playing at the top level who can't control a throw in. Far too many flaws in his game for him to ever be a top striker at a top side.

I am so, so glad people noticed this (finally).

It happens all the time. He has the ball and a Conference standard striker would distribute it; hence why the team joins the attack, reasonably expecting a chance to come up.

But he gives it away unbelievably easy and we're countered.

And that's Lukaku. Every game, over and over again, and that's why we look horrible going forward.

For all of his lethal finishing he doesn't work hard enough, his movement is often poor. So he needs workers around him and the ball into feet, not flying above his noggin.

That's the last thing he needs - he can't control a ball.

He needs someone doing that work for him and for him to be running the line, like he did for the first goal.

But in the modern game that really is a luxury player no top side can afford.
