He's great counter-attacking striker when he has space in front of him, can run on defenders and finish easy chances.
He's not suited and never will be to lead the line for a team that plays posession football or even try to control the game, because if you play for that type of team you need to use your physicality, make clever movements, drag the defenders, make space for your teammates and often play with a back to the goal - that's all the things he's average in at best.
And that's it I think. The whole story of Romelu Lukaku.

Not, not interested, just don't agree with all of it, some of it, but not all...Just like Lukaku himself, some good points and some absolute gash ones

Good analysis that. I was just thinking how Rom stacks up against Stuart Barlow:
Pace - Barlow all day - very fast player
Strength - Barlow. Shouldn't be but we all know how Big Rom doesn't like to mix it with centre halves
Control - draw. Neither blessed with much ability in this department.
Heading - Barlow. Stuart won a few headers in his time.
Finishing - Lukaku
Hold up play - probably give this to Lukaku
Skill - draw. Neither man on the premises here.
Decision-making - Lukaku. Barlow not known for his decisiveness.
Movement - Barlow easy. Very mobile player.
So it's close, but breaking things down like this does lead to the inescapable conclusion that Barlow was the superior player.

Don't know how many times I sat there with half hour to go saying we need to get Barlow on, 10 minutes later shouting get him off. Remember Peter Beardsley putting him clean through for a one on one 3 times in one game, he well and truly lived up to his nickname Jigsaw. Don't think Rom would be amused being compared to him.
You are aware that DCL is 4 years younger than Rom aren't you? And that lukaku has played over 200 games more......
And that said.... DCL is already a better rounded footballer and target man than lukaku ever will be.
This made me laugh not cos it's humerous but because it's actually very true....
Lukaku reminds me of Ringo Starr ....Q "is ringo starr the best drummer in the world?" A: "he's not even the best drummer in the beatles"
It goes to show the insanity of people.... they will believe any crap that can be hyped. The music industry is full of lukakus .... one good album and a write up in NME secures then arrogant prick status forever.... take a bow Thom Yorke..... I've used your pretensiously spelt name in a lukaku post to define what overrated and egotistical looks like. That's Radioheads lead singer for anyone lucky enough to not know enough about them
Thom Yorke probably has better footballing technique than Lukaku does though.
I did really like creep and karma police..... but then again lukaku did have a couple of decent games for us

He'll need to bail Manu out of the mire, score two away at Barcelona and he'll have earned his 'reputation'.

And yet Lukaku was banging in 20 goals a season at the age DCL is now. I wonder why that was?
