Romelu Lukaku

[paulbefc]

Yep. Looked tidy on the deck. Got into some good positions for the most part, had Ross and Kev off him.

Still should've made a few more runs in behind (there was a through ball from Ross he was on his heels for).

Also denied a goal by a top class save and got Barkley in for a one-on-one. But we didn't get the result we wanted and he's a high-profile player that's often linked with moves away, so he was of course terrible.

First half he was playing well but second half was a disaster. His touch keeps frustrating me, its so bad.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Its a sad state of affairs but without this mans goals we would be in a relegation fight without any of the required fight in most of our squad.

I knock Lukaku quite a lot, but I saw glimpses of what it is I'd like to see him doing tonight. No goals, but when we lost possession today, it was rarely his fault and his movement looked better.

Wow

 

[Prevenger17]

Wow

Yes?

 

[marsh]

Yes?

Not like you to be nice about Lukaku?

 

[blulouie]

Looked great 1st half.

Reverted to type 2nd half.

Ole rubber shins

I'll give credit where it's due, I thought he did good tonight. I still don't rate the lad and, barring the addition of some incredibly patient and creative midfielder that mightn't even exist, I'd like to see him moved on in the summer. But he showed touches and decisions that I haven't really seen from him since the West Ham game.

Same. Things actually stuck tonight, didn't score but looked to link up at least.

 

[Huyton Layne]

This Cantona stat is dumb as.
Cantona played 171 games, Lukaku has played 167.
Cantona was a number 10 and scored about 70 in England so Lukaku is equal there but Cantona had 56 assists and Rom has 24. Comparing these two players is stupid.

 

[deipnosophist]

Needs to be more clinical in front of goal, but his all round game, his touch and control, more than compensate.

They both talked their fair share of [Poor language removed] like, another comparable.

I`m going to say it as I`m pissed, but I so often want to say to people at the match - why do you think he is lazy? Is it because he is not caucasian.
