Question is why spend 28 million pound on a striker and play him on the wing.
The most hyped manager in football today.
No leadership on or off the pitch
 
Great but of business buying a 28m striker and sticking him on the wing. Maybe in January we can put in a cheeky bid for hazard and have him shore up our defence. [Poor language removed] ridiculous
 
I mean I didn't mind trying it again (Liverpool is admittedly lightweight like Arsenal on the wings + injuries) but around the 30th minute mark it was apparent it wasn't going work and that we had no threat up front. Plus you are asking a 250lb body to constantly drag his body up and down the pitch.

I'm not saying I have a problem with Lukaku being tried out on the right hand side because as you said Liverpool are quite lightweight on the wings and that coupled with the fact that Rodgers encourages his fullbacks to push on forward meant that there could have been space to exploit forcing a Liverpool centre back out wide to try and neutralize Lukaku leaving Naismith space in the middle.
