One great ball and he powered past two defenders to score not many could have done that, maybe Costa - we have to play to his strenghd he is not a back to goal player he needs it down the sides or over the top end of!

Can't believe I'm saying this, but someone needs to give Lukaku a load of video's of Ian Rush to show him how a striker leads the line.

As Goat said, he did look to get involved though. He did run the channels and was available for balls to feet with back to goal, but due to our failures as a team, he is always completely isolated with absolutely no hope of making anything happen, which makes it a tad harsh to attack him for contribution to team play, to put it mildly.
I'm not saying he's solely responsible for finishing chances, but it is far more important for him to be available to do that when there is no one else on the field to do it for us and it also means we have another player to help create those chances, so of course in a system with a lone striker, more of the striker's responsibility is to score the goals.

Ironically Lukakus goal came from hitting the channel and working hard to use his power against Morgan.

I would say it without shame, Lou.
Rushie was a superb leader of the line and I wish we had signed that boyhood Blue
If we were prepared to play two up top, I'd happily have Rondon here
I don't think Koeman wants to though, so can't see it happening
He wouldn't come here to be on the bench, he'd want to play
may as well get Victor back then? than Rondon no where near the pace of Lukaku!

Udderly delicious
Headed hatrick recently which is about 2 more goals than Big Vic in the prem (he says tongue only slightly in cheek) and seems to be getting better in the Prem. Would need a pacey striker alongside him for the hold up play & knock downs though
One hattrick those crosses for all three were peaches would he get that from our team????????????????

Noticable on one move today he'd gone wide and when we looked to cross it in, we had baines and lennon the only player in the box, was comical actually, but yeah the better the team is around himt he better he will look IMO

Interesting quotes from the manager
“The message to him at half-time was to tell him that sometimes he runs too much (out wide) and that he needed to stay up front"

That gap has been there for about 15 years, which is testament to his finishing capability, he's lethal given a sniff. Koeman was right, until we get the technical capability behind and into him he won't ever reach his potential at Everton.
We've been utterly dull and deparately crap to watch and I half expect it Koeman calling a few bluffs and setting a few fires under people's arses by suggesting he left to fulfil his potential
As Ross was going on you could see him on the bench and he looked crushed to not be going on. Just kinda stared at Ross putting his gear on wishing it was him. Feel bad for him.We didn't.
He's still there.....we saw him at Watford.
Far better than Lennon, I hope most would agree.
The lad is being shamefully underused by Koeman.
But it ain't too late
