Romelu Lukaku

[diggerdestroyer]

Best striker we've had since I started following the Toffees in the late 90's.

I started in following in 83. He is the best since the 80's .

What a brilliant player, absolutely unplayable again tonight.

Could do with getting some back up in, rest that ankle.

That sounds promising enough. Give him the day off to relax. No reason whatsoever for him to be involved on saturday.

Out for the season.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Cautiously pleased. How often have we heard it is just a knock and then we haven'the seen them for months.

We need Lukaku or we are toothless. He is irreplaceable at the moment. I would love us to unearth a player of similar stature to compliment him.

I wouldn't play him until the 2nd leg. Maybe 45 minutes prior to it.

If you look back it comes straight from the kick off following their goal.

He collides with Otamendi who leaves a foot in (not maliciously) but leaves it in and catches Rom.

Reckon he'll be fine for next week with a painkiller or two.

C'mon Dave that's madness. We've got City away next week followed by Chelsea away, then Swansea at home a week after.

We cannot go into those crucial league games with Kone leading the line.

NEA about the PL, tbh.

Agreed. We won't go down and the squad should be enough to beat Dagenham. I would mix it up against City in the league as getting the result in the cup is more important currently.

The PL game against City is a game we dont need. I'd rotate as much as possible and use it as a dry run for the 2nd leg.
