He's shocking tonight!

When he is good he is good, when he is poor he is shocking, these games are becoming more regular now.

Apart from the Southampton game he has not done much, he really needs a kick up the arse.

Nah. This is the exact same Lukaku we've had most weeks since his first three months on loan.

He'll still end up with close to 20 this season, if not more. The question, as it always has been, is whether a player who is such a liability to the overall team play is worth persisting with given the goals he scores.

Just depends on your view - for me, we don't play to his strengths and probably never will under Martinez.

Agree. He doesn't even look bothered. Maybe he is sulking? But at least try and work hard if you are out of form

Why on earth we didn't sign a striker as serious competition I don't know.

Back to goal Just isn't his game, he may as well be an opposition defender for the amount of times we turn possession over rolling the ball into him. Wish I knew the answer.

great! stones off injured. couldn't get more everton.

When McCarthy laid it off for him in the box, he started running onto it a full 4 seconds after the ball was sent, and about 2 seconds after it went out. Shocking stuff, pull it together Rom!

toffeestillidie · September 22, 2015

Reading coming out a bit now, should suit Rom better.

We don't play to his strengths. We insist on playing him like a target man, dropping to get the ball, back to box.

That's why he looks [Poor language removed]. Get him running onto stuff he'll slot like nobody's business.

This is normally my position but he's had some great chances in this game and in the last and looked utterly pants.

How we use him still needs to improve but that doesn't excuse him completely. He's in poor form.
