Ademola Lookman

[banno]

he hit it towards goal hoping it would go in. luckily it went between the keepers legs.

Every striker/player is told to at least get the shot on target....he did....the onus is then on the keeper to stop the shot or its a goal. He didn't so it was a goal and Lookman did his job and was rewarded for it. Goalies don't position themselves with there legs closed so if the shot is hard and fast then it will beat the reactions of a keeper.

Great run in anticipation of the chance. Definitely showed striker like instincts rather than the usual headless chicken winger mode of just running down a blind alley.

The anticipation was the beauty of it. Good for us and shame for Citeh that there defender didn't anticipate and expected a clearance so therefore criminally left Lookman in acres.

It's high-ho Ademola
We came see you score a goala

Koeman saying he's been hugely impressed by this lad and is even willing to start him soon.

Now that says a huge amount about how good this kid is - Koeman is extremely difficult to properly impress.

I thought the same. He is not one for talking up players usually.

Id keep him on the bench at Palace, need to go easy with him, not sure a big Sam side at home would be a good place to get his first start.

This kid is going to be massive for us.....I just feel it in my water. I'm not prone to going OTT about players but I can see Lookman having the same impact here as Owen had when he broke onto the scene over the park.
The way he composed himself, controlled the ball and slotted last week was very impressive. Lots of players would have either froze or just put their laces through it, but not this lad. Exciting times ahead I reckon.

 

[timmyistop]

Just like to say my suggestion that he would not be ready for the first team, may have been slightly wrong. Like the kid.

 

[Neiler]

His anticipation to receive the ball for his goal, was the thing that impressed me the most. There were a lot of years of PL in players switched off when Lookman was switched on.

Whatever about the finish you make your own luck and the anticipation in the lead-up showed real appetite and football intelligence especially when it was his PL game.

Could just watch that first touch on a constant loop from now until the end of time tbh.

 

[Zezti]

He's alright.

 

[originalgreaserbob]

I was thinking Lola by the Kinks could surely be adapted, but that's good.

Gotta be this. M-O-L-A Mola. I'm surprised there's still discussion.

 

[evertony]

Ademola baaabyyyyy.....

You see what I did there?

 

[evertony]

Lukaku has taken to him straight away, the total opposite to him apparently laughing at Niasse' first few training sessions. Maybe a striker sees things in another striker that we don't

 

[Jags..class]

Maybe this is why we have let del go, he proving himself in training.
