Romelu Lukaku

You all still don't get it about him despite the evidence being abundant.

He'll score goals like that more often than not against crap opposition in a league game. But put him in a pressure situation in a cup or against a decent side and he shows up one game in ten.

That's the problem.

Crap opposition like Burnley, Brighton, Bournemouth and Villa? Good thing we sweep away those sides effortlessly. Take your goals and do one Rom!
 


I hate this thread with a passion. Surely the Rom lovers are just singing his praises to be WUMs?

He wanted to leave, what more do you need to let go? If we ignore that, anyone who thinks Rom is the answer to our problems is a) deluded or b) has memory loss issues. The basic principle as far as I can see is people agree Lukaku only scores against the weaker sides but hey that's what we need right now? Well that might be a reasonable response if people said after we finished 7th during his last season "if only we can do this for another 10 years and I'll be happy". No one was pleased with our record against the top teams and heaven forbid we might win a derby if he wasn't in the pocket of the defenders. Yes it seems better than now but wasn't great at the time and wouldn't be acceptable in the future.

There are strikers out there that will score against the top sides as well as the crap ones, we just need to find him.

Annoys me too. Full of nothing but strawman arguments. Every time someone says he is better than what we have, it is countered with "he's not world class". Whenever someone suggests we should aim for someone more rounded (cue fat puns), it is countered with "How can you say he is rubbish"

And as for the numpty who for some unknown weird reason keeps posting a running tally of "points won by Rom"
