Romelu Lukaku

[Norwegian Cow]

You are just picking 1 game, you need to factor in all games to work out a predicted ratio, that's all he is doing. Not saying he WILL score, just saying at the rate he is going he will get X amount.

The more games you use, the more accurate the predicted outcome.

this + 1

I think he will get between 15-20 in the league personally, barring injuries.

I'd be ecstatic with 20+

Just not a fan of projected figures, football is played on grass, not on a calculator.

Its very telling it was a MURICAN who brought "stats" to the table.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

that he is on pace for 24 league goals cant be debated. However, it is highly unlikely that the math will be correct as he will probably be out for x amount of games with injury and have spells with fewer or more goals.

It's worth pointing out that very few strikers have such a return at such a young age as rom at such a consistent rate. And of those that did (I.e. Owen) he has not suffered a comparable injury that has meant long stretches out. The one risk we have is overplaying him and I'm worried we might see burnout in Christmas or post euros. Kone and Naismith can do a job certainly but it is worth mentioning

 

[applecrumble]

I bet Jose is sorry he sold him.

 

[Nealroy]

Who would you drop for Cleverley, just out of interest?

Yep as others said, Naismith from yesterday's line up but we might actually see a bit of tactical rotation of the wide players according to the oppo between nais, clev, Kev, del , kone and Lennon. I can't recall a time we've had quite so many options there really.

That goal doesn't count. There's no point in getting 20 goals a season of he doesn't have a good first touch.

 

[Elong]

exactly, who would you say is better this season? aguero is obviously better than him, sturridge possibly WHEN he is fit. After that? costa has been woeful, i think giroud is underrated and possibly better than lukaku. vardy's had a decent start, but he scored about 2 goals last season. People have a purple season like kane did, not even close to lukaku imo. the lad at watford looks decent, must be said. Bony's better but never playing, hasn't set the world alight at city. Remy's good as well.

Only aguero is easily better than him and possibly costa.

In some cases that's very true but when it comes to goals scored and a number 20+ is beside itits a good indication he can.score a few goals. I think 20+ goals no matter what circumstances you want to add to it can not be a negative thing.

 

[USABlue]

he's boss. his hold up play was great yesterday as well. don't understand all the negativity he gets all the time.

@tommye

His bellwhiffery knows no bounds. I have long since given up on him.

 

[BLUES1]

Rom Definitely. Anyone who can make Sakho look like a human appendage deserves MOTM

 

[Bigmaclad]

BEAST

I could understand you saying this when they're at the top because you want to bring them down, but now they're at the bottom give them a break.
