Romelu Lukaku

[orly]

He's proved me wrong to a certain extent but my point about the way the team is set up remains and possibly has the effect of over estimating his present overall contribution

'Certain extent'? He's got 15 league goals in 19 league games and has run himself into the floor recently

But Kev I love you.

This actual season:

As I said his goals have removed many of my doubts and he certainly looks a lot more committed but the point I am making is about the team setup and strangely enough you seem less eager to discuss that than engage in petty point scoring

When you say "certain extent" Kev do you really mean "one of the best Everton strikers we've seen and he's only 22"?

Oh Kev don't be like that with me. I'm just providing a service, keeping lids honest. That's all.

You know I still wanna hug you x

He's taken full advantage of the way the team has been set up hats off to him and I wouldn't expect anything less.

Do you think this reflects our manager developing the player mate?

Easily one of the best strikers in the league.

Players feeding strikers in the world of football? Well i never!

I'd give you a point if Rom would be shooting all those balls to the moon instead. Mind you having seen Rom's second goal in the last match i get the sense that Rom still had some work of his own to do too.

I think it reflects a striker on form who is taking advantage of a situation that's tantamount to deliberate defensive sabotage of our own team by the manager

You're in a real corner here, Kev. Why not just admit you got one or two things wrong and set your story straight?

I'll admit he's a striker with a lot of strengths which until this season I hadn't seen on any consistent basis - like almost everyone in fact.

My point is whether he would bang them in so freely at another side not set up the way we are and if in fact if we do tighten up whether or not it would affect his form.

Despite being 22 and having a scoring ratio of 1 in 2 lads lets face it he's not good enough...
