Romelu Lukaku

[Huyton Layne]

Never got the ball sent to his feet. Barkley had more than one opportunity to try to play him through and held onto the ball too long.

Kev had a good game, but generally isn't looking to set up Rom. As soon as Del came on, Rom got his first chance.

As unpopular as it is, Kone is a better player to play with Rom than Kev.

Never gonna agree ever sorry. Kone is gash and had a purple patch. Kev in 13/14 had 9 assists, 5 of which were to Rom.

Well the manager has had all January to bring another forward in to lighten the load but apparently thinks having only 1 reliable striker is fine. Why spend £4 mil on Byram when we could have put it on Austin.

At a guess because Austin didn't want to come. @Alan Whittle was saying that Crystal Palace tried quite hard but he wanted to move to Southampton - he'd have probably got a despite probably being able to play as first choice for them.

Agree we need another striker to provide cover but the same thing applies to right back too.

No coincidence he has struggled a bit more since Kone has been out of the team. Get someone up with him and watch the goals start to roll in again

Jordan Rhodes is that man now.

Lukaku needs service. Look how out of sorts he was yesterday. Usually, Chelsea is a big bugaboo for him anyway. First half we essentially played a couple of men short with him being one.

How are those New Years resolutions working out for you Goat?

Am guessing the "strict diet + sleep routine" you didn't even attempt this year? x
