This. Balanced comment finally. Nando does still have a lot of work to do - fact.

That might be a little too harsh. On their forums they do agree he had a bad game (after they were singing his praise last matches). References such as 'headless chicken, gigling girl, unfocused when coming on' were present, where others didn't have any problem with the Long/Lukaku substitution ... Romelu clearly still has a lot too learn - mentally and technically and hopefully he will, cause i never saw him as an player that realizes when he has to adapt/change. Also, back in his Anderlecht days, he had a lot more confidence than now. He seems the kind of player that thrives on successes and confidence to get his motivation level up where it should be. After all that has been said. Let's keep in mind the boy is only 19 (born May 93) ... Work for it Lukaku, Work!!

Welcome mate!

I must say I am actually stunned when people say stuff like 'Hazard isn't all that great' or even 'I want to see Marin play in his place'. Do you even watch the games? Do you see the stats on that guy (passes, assists)? Do you notice the dynamics and threat he brings to the pitch? Do you see the creativity he and Mata generate together? I wonder what you expect then from a 21 year old newbie? I don't see how he could have done better? Oscar has faded out more regularly in games though he has been brought more sparingly and I don't see people nagging about that, for example (this does NOT imply he is not a world class talent, mind you!) I get a feeling this is just being overly critical and Hazard deserves more respect. I will get back to this post at the end of the season. We'll see about it then. Fuck this.

Reading this always makes me feel a little warm inside. What a triangle we have there ...

We'll see in January

My god. Brilliant idea!

Kojo, this was a brilliant match. You missed out on something special. Oscar, Mata, Hazard were magical on the pitch.

Say what again :-) BTW: Brilliant performance today. Could have easily had two extra assists if Mata and Torres would have scored. Eden is brilliant and will become even better. :blue scalf:

yeah, think Hazard is a boss too :-)

We have one nice youth team, don't you think :-)

fuck, I love the Hazard, Mata, Oscar trinity ....

yeah good to see Psycho-Dave again !!

thanks Hutcho!!

Plz, does anyone know a stream for the match. I already missed the first half and really wanna see the second! Much appreciated!!

You trolling or tripping?

I do think Eden was an important catalyst :-)? I do love that guy !

Let's hope not. Untill now, all that is speculation...

The three maestro's ....

O did we just put Hazard on? lol

We need hazard. For all that forgot how we started the season :-) wake -up time

Now for being an eternal optimist that is very pessimistic :-) Also no evidence based statement whatsoever. just sophistry, commit it then to the flames:-)

Exactly. It doesn't seem to be too much. He became ever better.

Exactly. This is what scares me. A lot of us are going on about being careful with him, but he actually seems to have a 'i wanna play a lot of games and then I came into a zone' attitude on him when you look at his past. Booyaka :-)

RDM is an enigma when it comes to line-ups and in-game player intentions, I think.
