Lukaku

[Seamus Colemole]

Interesting stat from Tony Scott from the Echo, 39 goals in 89 PL games since the 2012/13 season. Despite his flaws and the fact he can be hugely frustrating at times, that is some record for a 21 year old striker in the Premier League.

Just shy of a goal every other game.

It's a cracking record.

Luckily for him he's good at putting the ball in the net, cause pretty much all other parts of his game suck on a regular basis. Even when it looks like he's getting better at them he does it for a few games then goes awful again.

Just need to improve his hold up play. Still have massive faith in Rom.

His hold up play can improve, but who can be a goal poacher with a great holdup play? Teddy Sheringham springs to mind, but none in this campaign.

 

[Azzurri]

Scored the goal that won us the game you know, lads.

 

[Hong Kong Phooey]

Scored the goal that won us the game you know, lads.

He does that.

 

[TomDixie]

Diabolical today but did the most important thing.

 

[Pabbers]

Not as bad as kev

 

[hetion]

I do like those balls over the defence that he has in his locker. Don't think any have turned into an assist yet but he's got some good vision.

 

[Walken]

his goal record is just fine, wasn't great today at all, but will be a very good player

I was reading the match thread and seeing the abuse Lukaku was getting after being on the scoresheet. Some people just have it in for Lukaku no matter what. What is that 11/12 goals for a 21 year old halfway through a season? That is the an absolute fantastic return. Baring no injuries he is well on course for having 15+ goals and to reiterate for a 21 year old in a struggling team. If he was scouse and came through the ranks he would be talked about like a god.
Right some aspects of his footballing skill are far from Alan Ball to say the most but call me superficial, as long as he keeps up his general goalscoring he can walk around the pitch doing a Monty Python Silly Walk. I still wouldn't complain.

Love Rom me. If we had better attacking options behind him who created stuff he'd be an absolute goal machine.

 

[Azzurri]

Not like he's missing loads of sitters is it? Give him chances and he scores. Just needs to do more to create his own.

 

[Jags..class]

We expect the best from him, he also the same

He was so ecstatic about the win, very enthusiastic congratulations to all his teammates and lifted Besic off his feet in a big bear hug

Been particuarly impressed with his attitude recently, especially given the loss of his childhood friend.
