You give him credit now and again yes but also judge him totally different to other strikers.. which is annoying! So Roms the reason Belgium never won the world cup now aswell?

If Rom was nearly as good as some of you lot make out then Belgium would have won the world cup.

Rom isnt a good footballer ... technically one of the worst footballers I've seen. Got a lovely inside left foot finish on him if a player finds him in the box..... or manages to give him a one on one with the keeper that is it.

Belgium don't use him in their attack build ups... hazard and de bruyne ignore him! Yet for their clubs they use the striker to play off...... says everything.

But if he had played well vs Brazil and they'd got beat odds on you'd all be on here slating him for not scoring in a big game. So he can't win really unless he plays superb and scores in every single game which isn't realistic..

I love Rom from his time at Everton and i can see your sides to the argument of him being frustrating and rubbish at times but i think it goes over the top/its because its Rom and theres a dislike there that hes judged differently to alot of others

No "we wouldnt"... because you are mistaking us for those who slate DCL..... a striker isn't all about just goals. Yeah goals are great but in the modern game the striker has a job today outside of finishing.

One of the best finishers in the world is aguero and he was told he had to work for the team or was out by pep.
 
Mrs Lukaku seems to be unusually quiet about the present imbroglio around Big Rom’s future. I know she’s not on twitter because I am a user (I need it for business purposes as what Donald Trump tweets affects my business). But I don’t use FB and I’m wondering whether Mrs Lukaku is using that platform to keep people up to date...

Not at all, but when that's often all that player does and is otherwise a detriment to the general play of his team, then it's worth calling out.

One winner against a City is worth ten goals over the likes of Hull when your team are already 2-0 up.

Would Belgium have beat Tunisia and Panama without Lukaku's goals? Yes, almost certainly they would have done. Therefore, what value do they have? Isn't there intrinsically more value from his performance against Brazil where he didn't score but played very well? Wouldn't more performances like that be more valuable than his stat-padding usual against lesser defences?

Good pint most of his goals were against teams like Hull, Sunderland, Southampton, West Ham, Leicester and the such like. I thought after his performance at Anfield in 2017, people would realize that he doesn't perform in big games.
 
Must hurt the non believers to think that Rom in the side last season would have seen us finish 7th playing in Europe this season and likely a cup final as he would have swatted Millwall/Wolves/Watford like flies.

Nope. In your masturbatory dreams maybe but probably the squad would have done poorly due to his ego and constant media bleating ruining any harmony

Exactly, DCL isn't good enough, as he doesnt score enough, overall team play really good though.

Lukaku, scores a lot but his general team play is poor, still not good enough.

It was the defending that let us down at Millwall, not sure what you think Rom would of done about that

I guess it really depends on how the manager wants the team to play. Rashford offers more than just finishing for United and is involved more in the overall gameplay. Firmino is a great striker for Liverpool but he might not start as a frontman for most other clubs.
