Romelu Lukaku

Think it's clear that despite his size Rom isn't and never will be a target man. He's a weird one in that he has the numbers to prove he's a top player yet he will rarely create many chances for himself nor will he hold the ball, get the team up the pitch and bring others in to play.

Is he a glorified poacher?

He's more than that. He's a counter-attacking genius. He can run a ball like no other when space is in front of him, and he's one of the five most gifted finishers in world football.

But that's about it, and it's no where near enough to play at the top level.
 
He bought a very high ball down with a delightful touch and then had it nicked off him and half the fans went crazy about his bad touch.

Leave off.

When he did get involved (very rarely) he linked up well but just didn't seem bothered like a lot of them today.

I feel that in games like today, rom is a luxury. We needed someone to bother and harass and work hard up top and rom is not our man for that.

Still wouldn't swap him for anyone.

lol What does that even mean? If him and Barkley had an ounce of savvy between them, Everton would have scored three or four at Old Trafford.

He's a ruthless finisher who has had the season of his life. Personally I think that he's going to be overlooked by the big clubs again this summer, but then stranger things have happened.
