Romelu Lukaku

[didierforever 7,349]

Why stop at that then? Why are we stopping at where players are losing the ball? I don't really do stats personally but if we look at chances created per player, I'm very certain that Costa trumps Lukaku in that by quite some distance. Maybe Costa loses the ball more because he tries to be a lot more adventurous than Lukaku? Have you ever thought of that?

kep passes per games dont seem to be that much different do they for 2014-15?

costa has 20 goals and 4 assists, lukaku has 18 goals and 7 assists.

but the dispossessed stats are ridiculously hihg for costa, are not they? as are bad control per games. infact these stats seem pretty explanatory.

Hope you're watching the game now. Lukaku has already lost the ball over 5 times and has broken down a lot of Everton's moves going forward.

And still dangerous twice. How many opportunities did Costa get last week? ;-)

The debate isn't on whether Lukaku is dangerous or not... The debate is on whether Lukaku is a technically limited striker. Please keep up...

He's limited, but not as limited as some pretend he is.

Costa is good but he doesn't deserve to be on the "world-class" list

I honestly believe he is.

How did costa fare against city?

exactly

people like someone - he is the best ever. nothing can be wrong.

people dont like him - they find the smallest fault of it and keep piling on and over exageratiing it.

So exactly what you're doing in the Mourinho thread, then?

[mediator 2,026]

I don't think he is technically much worse limited than Costa is tbh

How did we play as a team? Costa barely even touched the ball. Lukaku has lost the ball countless of times in this game however and a lot of attacks stopped at him.

Costa was awful against City. Yeah, the team was awful but when he got the ball he was battled out of it easily and was manhandled. Costa did not fare any better than Lukaku. To use today as evidence of Lukaku hold up play is unfair. Costa did receive the ball like I was saying but just could not get past them. City just look too strong right now. Have not conceded a goal.

Thats an insult to Costa. Costa has much much better close control and link up play.

we as a team were awful and costa was a major part of why we were awful.

so let me get this straight. iva has been shit for a year now. people are clamouring for him to be dropped. azpi is bein played as a LB and yet iva starts every match. and more so we have lost the likes of bertrand and luis cos of it... ya.. seems fair to compare these 2 things.

Referring more to your sudden 180 in going from more or less Mourinho apologist (sorry but that's true) to vehemently anti-Mourinho chiefly over the Ivan favouritism.

Not that you're wrong in wanting him to be benched of course, everyone can see that.

so why should i support jose when he is putting his favourites first before the welfare of chelsea.

not that hard to understand.
