Oh dear.

 

[toffeejack]

a sitter from lukaku. benteke may be on soon

 

[LinekersLegs]

Oh Rom

This is exactly what happened to Lukaku at the world cup, just hasn't turned up yet. He could find himself hauled off in this game soon and sitting on the bench for the rest of the tournament.

edit - what a miss, should have scored

 

[Billy Dean]

Bayern's scouts have left the building

 

[Sapie88]

Lukaku is awful.

He's a poor mans Daniel Sturridge.

 

[mezzrow]

(sigh)

 

[Huyton Layne]

Terrible waste

 

[gaino92]

Should have scored

Half Belgium's problem is they don't seem to produce decent full back.

Vertonghen is a fantastic defender but offers nothing at the other end which is half the job of a full back these days.

As for the bloke on the other side. Who even is he?!


AND ROM.

 

[Khalekan]

Jesus, Rom....you need to hit the target there.

 

[toffeejack]

you can tell he's under much more pressure playing for belgium. His first touch of the match was heavy and it was greeted with a mass of groans

 

[Yard Dog]

Classic Lukaku first touch

 

[peteblue]

Looks like Lukaku will still be with us next season........

Conte has got this 3-5-2/3-4-3 down to a science. Unbelievably well executed and further proof that any formation can work when drilled properly
