Romelu Lukaku

One of the 'expert pundits' said after the Brazil game that he could tell within the first few minutes from Rom's body language that he was up for the game and going to play well - which he did and I think there's some truth in the statement. The France game, though, the first couple of times it was played towards him he was tamely beaten to the ball by a defender and, having seen him many times, I suspect most Evertonians would have known he was going to have one of those games where he barely touches the ball and contributes zilch. Good marking by the French defence no doubt, and their sitting back and not allowing him any space to run into didn't help, but his limitations that we know were exposed for all the world to see.

Still on a different planet to anything we've got though!
Mate five mins in Fellaini played a ball down the channel and Rom made a half hearted attempt, stopped and started flapping at Felli like he always did with us. Knew then he was donezo.
 


Big games mate, there not really his thing

It's typical of Lukaku that I can even say he had a disappointing tournament overall whilst he still sits in second place for the golden boot but he only scored against Panama and Tunisia. This World Cup was there for the taking for Belgium had he performed throughout.
