Would you pay £24m for Lukaku?

Lukaku did what strikers are supposed to do and score when the chance arises His 21 and still learning! Our midfielders are'nt giving him as many chances as last year at moment but his making movements and trying to get his free spaces to get ball passed into!
Ok his first touch isn't as good as it could be and apparently his an injured toe or something too?

People feel its easier to slate him as his not Everton academy lad and cost money! If Osman fell on his ass, its Lukaku's fault

He's doing hardly any of this

...and too much of this

Irrelevant, what matters is if the run opens up a passing lane...he can easily bully off a lateral run and turn them.

Different play after he scored.

Pure confidence player.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I will say choosing when to do each type of run is a different question...

 

[orly]

YES I WOULD PAY IT

HE IS ACE

Yes, that's all part of being a striker. My point is the proportion of that type of workload - which has him going into channels - with passes where has to do less spade work getting into the box. It's arse about tit as far as I'm concerned...and has been for weeks.

Barkley being back will change his fortunes for the better, but my point about Naismith still stands. These two take up the same space and it cant work, and will retard Lukaku's return to form. He is our priority goals-wise. Yes, Naismith has scored four, but Lukaku has banged them in for two seasons and can do this job consistently....which is why we paid £28M for him.

[The Hibbert Agenda]

Why is he so handsome though

We're too flat in the final 3rd for my liking...it's my biggest gripe, for as much griping as I do anyhow. Today we actually didn't fall in to that trap too much. It may have been a tactic with Ross being out, since we don't really have a ball carrier blessed with pace other than him but I don't like it, regardless. Need another specialist in that dpt.

Thought he was good today. A bit of luck with his goal but sometimes that's just what you need. Hopefully this will be the start of a hot streak for him.

 

[luimneach]

Well at least his moving

Naismith I agree sometimes can get in his way but both have mouths so one should roar to get the other to let them shot

He's doing hardly any of this

I'm talking centrally, BTW...someone will no doubt say Mirallas.

 

[Elong]

He did his job, boss slotter.

Best game of the season by a mile. Barkleys return plus Coleman gave us the drive we've been lacking. Onwards and upwards.
