Lukaku

[KevMirallas]

He was very good I thought. Scored one and created another, can't ask for much more than that.

 

[riddick]

why cant Lukaku do that to someone? he's probabyl even more built than Yakubu ffs!

Thats not his game though. Lukaku would drive towards Skyrtle instead of going out of his way to grock someone.

 

[McBain]

A Striker not quite playing 100% and still getting goals in is something we've never seen before.

I think we all need to adjust to this revelation and pray for his opponents when he hits his stride.

It will be Biblical.

I find myself having to remember this lad is only 21.
He had a good game yesterday and looked dangerous and held himself well against 2 good solid centre backs and one very good one (reid), he was good v lille the week before to but was awful against Sunderland. This will happen for a while I think but if he keeps his one in 2 ratio up il be more than happy

They were both off. Have to say, at the time I thought Rom was on

Yes, I thought they were both offside.

That's harsh, 4-4 anyone?

Just a little perspective

Bony, who is the player I would have wanted if we hadn't got Rom, has the same 5 goals and 1 assist in 12 appearances that Lukaku does this season.

Also @Squawka: Romelu Lukaku has now scored 37 Premier League goals since 2012/13. Only Suarez (54), van Persie (41) and Aguero (41) have scored more.

I was quite fond of Bony too until I heard he wanted over 100k a week plus is 25 compared to Lukaku's 21.

We definitely made the right choice. A striker who scores even when not totally on form is invaluable.

 

[marty mcfly]

Is he better than Origi though?

Origi cost 1/3 of the amount and is two years younger so lets just wait and see however I suspect Origi might be the Belgian Welbeck.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Yesterday was ok from him i thought.

Scored, didn't have a great game but didn't constantly mis control it and over hit passes straight to opposition players.

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Origi is the Belgian Welbeck. He's got 11 goals in 63 games for Lille in the jarg French league. At the age of 19 Lukaku scored 17 goals for West Brom.

Lukaku's on another level to this kopite no mark.

.....erm just watch those goals carefully and remember who the goalie was. Just saying.
