The league goals count even if we finish 11th, so should cup goals. Whether we win or not is irrelevant.

Rom is ace and is getting better, the one thing he has in our favor is a poor touch/layoff. That works for us, because if he trapped the ball well and laid it off to roughly the correct part of the pitch he's aiming at, our great striker becomes someone elses great striker.
Though I don't think he wouldn't do well in Chelsea or Arsenals squad because they play intricate passing and he would do more harm than good when it reaches him, for most CL teams, he would be just a decent player..
I disagree when Martinez said that we should build the team around Barkley though, I think it should be built around Rom, and we should define our tactics on how to get the ball in front of Lukaku when he is facing the goal.
As a player, he's actually not that great, as a striker though, there are few better in the prem. Shot, header, run round the keeper you expect him to score when he gets a chance.

Ridiculous that the grauniad excluded him from their 'team of the year (so far)'.
yeah, saw that...bit odd as even objectively anyone can see he's having a storming season...my player of the year for us so far.
That's kinda my point, mate. The Bundesliga is a strong league.

I always have counted all goals, as they are actual games.
Until he bags 30 goals a season he's not worth that kind of money.

He's already there abouts.

L O L good one
Never understood this. Rom got 20 last season overall - why does it matter how many were in the league? We faced tougher opposition in Europe than some of the teams we played in the league.

A goal is a goal.

*Fires James up for a pre-emptive strike
"ON HIS DAY" he is everything that he looks he should be, a powerful bullying centre forward who dominates the defence. His finishing when on form is top notch - up there with the best.
For me some people have tended to get far too carried away with him - I struggle with the level of his "not really bothered today" performances.
People blow a fuse when he is called lazy, but I struggle to find a more apropriate word. Other people don't look for a word to describe those performances - they look to criticise tactics, his service, whether he has played too much.
Ross gets called everything under the sun yet Rom escapes criticism.
Case and point for me was the Liverpool game, he was isolated a lot in that game but his attitude was absolutely spot on, therefore he was immense - possibly the most complete "strikers performance" I have seen in a long time and one I wasn't expecting off him. My question is - why not all the time - or at least more of the time? There really is no explaining some of his games, you actualy would be forgiven for thinking that someone had drugged him.
Of recent I have seen a better level of consistency, touch and more importantly "work rate/attitude" - if this continues then the sky is the limit for the lad.

Cos, it doesn't count for my fantasy pl team mate
Got to keep it up though mate. If he bags 30, then you can start talking about 55m+ realistically.
