Romelu Lukaku

[Abertonian]

One thing I have noticed especially tonight is Lukaku dropping deep for the ball, and also playing with his back to goal again.

Can't fault Lennon and he deserves to be starting, but I just think Lukaku looks more dangerous when Del is playing out wide.

I agree, I think he really relishes that partnership with del. It does make us a bit too one dimensional at times imho. Such a pity that del and lennon both play on the right - Everton that!

20 league goals... he's already beaten 20 for the season total.

In a sporadically functioning side.

He's absolute boss.

Yes league goals, don't think he'll have much problem getting there.

And Del is so one footed.

He does, very much so.

I do think it's a kind of needs must at the moment though and like you said, Lennon can't really be dropped given his form. Team selection vs W.Ham will be very interesting. It's a huge game really, though I do always trust RM's selections - though his subs do worry me on occasions.

Outside chance of making the 30 goal mark this season. Luis Suarez scored 31 in 13/14 for Liverpool.

get him and ross signed to new 5 year deals asap mr moshiri please.

 

[FTY]

The lad desperately wants to be top scorer.

I think that's gonna give us a really strong second half of the season.

I love rom

He had a REALLY poor run, but his talent will ultimately win over. You can't start a season as well as he did though. I couldn't think of a better striker in the league when he was on his run. He was literally unstoppable.

What? He had a short spell of not scoring...it happens.

Not a REALLY poor run.

Not a REALLY poor run.

And while Lennon has been playing well and solidifying our defense, it's no surprise Rom's "poor" run of form coincides when Deulefeu is on the bench? How many goals does he get from Del?

Rom has scored in 3 of the last four games with Aaron on the pitch. Aaron's only got two...the slacker.
