Lukaku putting himself in the shop window. The pound shop window.

Wilmots is garbage. Talented players forced into a no - hoper system.

 

[Seanjd]

Belgiums biggest weak link is the manager

And the prima donna's who play for them.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Belgiums biggest weak link is the manager

Horrible flat line of 4 or 5 and crosses hoping for a knockdown. It's like Sam Allardyce coaching Real Madrid.

 

[Phenom]

Nice to see you mate.

They look the better team I think overall

You too mickers, yeh I agree they deserve that lead.

 

[The Esk]

....playing against proper defenders, it's a big test for him.

He's making it easy though Eggs, not using his physique and very predictable runs, not looking a £60 million plus player for sure.

 

[gaino92]

That's a ridiculous pass, touch and finish for the goal

Are we going to sell?

 

[The Esk]

BBC making the same points...

 

[Rook]

How much in transfer fees has Rom cost us this half?

 

[Jamiednm]

Is Lukaku putting himself in the pound shop window or the charity shop window?

 

[The Esk]

Are we going to sell?

Good question, we're trying to keep him..

Only his goal scoring prowess has attracted that supposed price tag, never his work rate or technical prowess.

Agree but what a player he could be - he scores we know that, he has an amazing physique, he's supposedly ambitious but he's forgetting all the talent in the world means nothing unless you apply it.
