Romelu Lukaku

[blulouie]

Just imagine what he'll be like when Yarmolenko comes

 

[toffeejack]

Oh and extra points for the back flip!!!! Beagrie!!!!

can't believe he didn't celebrate against his old team. ffs!

Superb second half today. Feel like he plays better when he has all 3 of Ross, Gerry and Kone around him. They'd be who I start in the derby.

Was mince first half today and showed why he cost £28m in the second.

This just about nails it.

It could be said.
If he's not scoring then the fume factor is governed only by the limit of your patience and if we actually win the game where he's doing his Big Vic Impression.
When he's in 'Vic Mode' it isn't knee jerk to moan, or as some would try to tell you Un-Evertonian, not exactly the 'k' word but not far off.

It's more a case of stating the bloomin obvious

If he isn't scoring, he's seems to be strolling, most times he couldn't trap a bag of cement.
I think we will just have to put up with him until, if we can, get some one better.

The same general Idea applies to Martinez; he's good, he's bad, all's well and good when we have games like last night.

Most away goals for #efc in calendar year: 22 (Dean 1928), 21 (Dean 1927), 20 (Dean 1931), 15 (Latchford 1977), 14 (Lukaku, 2015)

Some stat that - and a few more away games to go this year!

get a guy that can deliver it in the box and ROM becomes a monster. his entire game gets better with the confidence.

he's ace.

Got that goal and things started clicking for him. Very much a confidence player IMO.
Reliable slotter too, love Rom me x

I have the feeling that when we play fast, he becomes the unstoppable beast. It's when we play slowly (which we still do too often) that his faults come to the surface. It doesn't even matter whether Kone is by his side (although they complement each other) or we play with wingers.

Play quickly and all of a sudden he can hold up a ball or flip it aside and score.

....critical that he didn't lead the line well, critical that he didn't demand that 2nd half free kick off Barkley but he's gold dust because he scores goals.

He should indeed take the freekicks (unless Mirallas is on). His are far more dangerous because he puts some force behind them.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Just like the Barkley thread this, loads of brain donors kicking off about Lukaku being made to eat their words

In a nutshell.

He scores goals.

He sets up goals.

Fine by me.

Aye, I thought that free kick was better set up for a leftie.

It's hard to say Naismith has to be dropped for the derby considering his habit of scoring in big games, but Kone and Del seem to be that much sought-after "service" for Lukaku. I would like to think Deulofeu has made himself undroppable for the derby, looks a really special player.
