Romelu Lukaku

[By god I'm blue]

The lad is still taking criticism tonight.

Unbelievable.

He took criticism for his first half performance and rightly so. We are all glad when he recovers as he did, but are we not allowed to assess his performance during the game? He was shocking in the first half.

He's still only 22 of course he isn't the finished product. How's his inconsistent first touch any different from Barkley running into blind alleys?

 

[By god I'm blue]

I stand by my earlier comment

TBF, he's difficult to get behind with performances like his one in the first half. Nobody wants him to fail, but if he's playing crap, people should say so. Also, Deulofeu had a large say in the game, it wasn't all Rom.

 

[Furey1878]

Was crap but give him the ball in dangerous areaqs and he'll slot 90% of the time.

He was crap and still scored 2 and assisted 1.

He's an amazing asset to our team.

I'm still amazed that even though we haven't had a proper striker in the team since pre-injury Yakubu people are still whinging about his first touch. He slots, that is what a striker is meant to do. FFS.

He can be [Poor language removed] for 87 minutes and slot 2 and get an assist every [Poor language removed] week for all I care.

Haha, get those palms off your face. You would, and do, skewer Barry or Howard for a first half performance like Rom's tonight. He was muck, but the lad did good in the end.

All the team struggled first half.

Lukaku was nowhere near as bad as the vultures in the match thread suggested.

His performance in the second half, combined with the years we've seen him in this league tells you fans need to exercise some restraint before being so quick, and so vocal to slate the young lad.

Decent 2nd half there, brilliant.

See you in 5 games mate

Barry or Howard?

Mori yes, those two got none from me.

Sniff some of 'Lukaku's Response'

Apparently he's rubbish.

Point exactly.

The lad can't win.

6 goals before the end of September. He's useless.
