I dont think the team was loads better (Lukaku aside); the playing system was better. They could all keep possession, and that's half the battle in football - as many 'unfashionable' clubs can prove. Possession based football is something that Moyes cant do, no matter what the standard of...

The best lineup when we're healthy is to figure out the midfield and play Garner at RB. I don't know that we can do that when Gana isn't fit. But Garner should have played way more games at RB. I mean Tuchel called him Valverde--what does Valverde do when Real Madrid decide they've had enough...

Patterson, Garner, take your pick. Could honestly play anyone there and they’d make less errors leading to goals than Keane makes at CB. I think we have a better squad than Brentford. As for the others we don’t have a better squad but equally Villa don’t have a better squad than Chelsea or...

...got more points than us in that period? As said the other day, what Moyes has done in the last 60-ish games certainly doesn’t deserve the disrespect he’s shown on here. You’re acting like he has Lukaku up front, Pienaar on the left, prime Baines and Coleman at full back and John Stones at CB.

Yakubu?

Lukaku turns 33 today. The only genuinely world class striker we've had in the last three decades. I can't help but feel his career should have been so much more than it's turned out to be. He had every attribute going for him: Strong, tall, fast, a natural finisher, could play in several...

...games, so I dont view this season as a success. Also our record against "big clubs" is still appalling. Sunderland have gave "big sides" a game and won at their hated rivals. We put our usual pathetic performance in at Anfield. Our issue has been since Lukaku left we don't take our chances.

Martin Petrov seemed decent. Dzeko should of been signed in 2016, with his knockdowns and Lukaku we would of got 4th spot that year. Think Forlan would of been a decent signing.

Gave MoM to the Betonater - that goal was Lukaku-esque!

Are you putting him up against de Bruyne? I probably wouldn't.

Goes without saying he's been a success for us this season. I said above I like him. But he's just short of that consistent quality that makes a top class player.

Think that’s a harsh assessment of him personally. He was taken by Chelsea who were a top club, and binned off by them (but so were Lukaku, Salah and de Bruyne). Agreed it wasnt his best performance today, but he has been one of the few successes of last summers awful recruitment. Under a...

Fairly easily our best striker since Lukaku. Not perfect but so effective.

Do you think this is a better squad than between 2014-16? For example would you take Baines, Stones, Deulofeu, Coleman and Lukaku now? (Obviously at their ages at the time) I only ask as it’s just dawned on me we’ve already got more points now than we did in either of those two seasons. I can...

I think Kane is very underrated technically mate, hes an incredibly clever player - one of the most intelligent around and hes a very gifted technical finisher. I dont know if people have watched him much at Bayern - but he has adapted his game wonderfully, in terms of dropping deep and playing...

I know he scored 2 last night, but I defo didn’t expect to see posts today mentioning Lineker, Lukaku, Muller and Kane in the Barry thread 🤣

Or the best of them all, Gerd Muller.

Lukaku also, the amount of pull backs he’s on the end of. It’s absolutely a quality of good movement and predatory instinct. Kane is probably the best I’ve seen at it. I still have no idea how a bloke who has no pace, isn’t amazingly technical in tight spaces, isn’t massively big or strong...

He was dire against Bournemouth - my first time seeing him (and HD) in the flesh. What happened at Arsenal was just preposterous and outrageous from a highly paid member of staff of this club. I really don't want to see him on the pitch again in the RBJ but just read Moyes' comments and I am...

...in the derby. He needs binning off in the summer, with Beto retained as back up. We need to stop faffing about with unproven strikers and make a big money statement like we did with Lukaku, if we can attract such a player. The lack of a consistent striker has cost us points this season.
