Dom King: Ademola Lookman ransacked Manchester City on his Everton debut but his latest display for England U21s is cause for concern
Well it was hardly Lookman in the five minutes he was on that ransacked City, but the article is a pretty fair reflection on how he played for England u21. I don’t think he was purposely disinterested, just never sparked at all, failed to beat his man , failed to deliver crosses, didn’t cut in and shoot like we know he can. It’s a worry that he played so poorly. A large part, maybe the largest, is down to him but the club need to also figure out how best to handle him, some need a boot up the jacksy , some an arm around the shoulder. And I know he’s a professional footballer paid a fortune, but as a club it’s in our own interest to get him back on track to either be part of our squad or sold on later.

He`s home sick for his new adopted home of Germany by the sounds of it.

Rigg him out in some Lederhosen, get him down to the Bierkeller in town and a nice German brass for afters ;)

The German Quarter is a culturally vibrant, cosmopolitan section of Wandsworth. I imagine the great times Sulky has enjoyed there has only exacerbated his homesickness. I like your idea about buying him some lederhosen. Perhaps all the team should wear similar... and feign German accents at training.
Yes, it might sound a little contrived but if the whole playing and management team give buy-in to the concept, it might just put a smile on his dial. I know it would mine...
 
With all of the injury problems we are having, it is time for this lad to stop sulking and step up to the plate. Bound to get a chance on Sunday and i hope he takes it and then some.
 
Is Ademola still sulking?

It all stems from Ronkoe not playing him after he scored on his debut.

Or did Ronkoe no something we didn’t at the time?
