He'll probably score too.

Roms will start the 2nd half!

How did Romelu do? I see Belgium were playing with 10 men, did he get any chances?

[Atholy 1,293]

Nothing spectacular. 1-1 draw

Played upfront on a sort of an Isle. Especially after the red card of Lombaerts => belgium down to 10 men for more than 30 minutes.

Had a few good runs and one good strike on goal, 0,5m to the left of the post.

Was almost always supplied with long crosses => Romelu with 1 or 2 defenders in his back. Not his kind of game.

The few times he could use his speed... he was dangerous!

In general: Belgium took a stupid goal after Vermaelen slid away. Good assist from Hazard on the 1-1. For a friendly... this was rather a hard game => Fellaini going upfront in the Battle

He is more ready than people give him credit for

[Atholy 1,293]

Lukaku's good use of pace and body => pass to assist: 2.26mins.

Lukaku's great run and show just wide: 3.05mins.

Enjoy!

Lukaku was happy after his 45 minutes yesterday. But he knows that he needs to play to become Belgians number one striker again.

"Our talk opened my eyes" (talk with Leekens that he needs to play) "I'm making progress but i need to play more. I miss the full stadiums and playing for a cheering crowd. "I stay with Chelsea if the coach leaves. But don't get me wrong, i have no issues with Villas-Boas. A lot of teams are interested(loan-deal), i even heard that Anderlecht is interested, i will go to the team that want me the most."

I hope the translation is good enough..

[Clevemayer 764]

WTF?

does he demand a loan or a transfer?

[Hamilton 2,120]

He talks about a loan..

[Clevemayer 764]

it seemed like he was talking about a transfer this would've been ridicioulus...

I edited it so it's obvious it's about a loan deal..

So does that mean he thinks AVB might leave? Not really a surprise, but players know more than most..

[Nic! 301]

I think he knows his situation won't change next year when AVB is still in charge. When a new manager would come, he might get more playtime and think about staying.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

It would be a tragedy if Lukaku decides to leave Chelsea for good.I can't see him leaving permanently but a loan move will definitely happen.If he does get loaned out,he should go to some premiership club,so that he gets a chance to have some vital experiences in the league.By 2013/14 he should be starting for us but this all depends on his loan move.

I honestly would suggest that AVB should play Sturridge as our preferred center forward and keep Lukaku as a potential back up but then again the Torres fiasco must also be dealt with in the summer.Whether he leaves or not will play a huge part in Lukaku's career.Whatever happens though,I just hope Chelsea don't buy a world class striker like Cavani or Higuain because then the chances of Sturridge being a regular starter as a center forward and Lukaku getting a fair amount of playing time will be dampened.

[Sheva. 5,373]

I don't even know why we bought him, he won't play over Torres and Drogba, we have Sturridge, and if in any case Drogba and Torres leave, we will surely buy someone like Cavani or Falcao. So he still won't play.

He's 18, he has time to rise. If he has so much potential as people claim, he will no doubt one day be our main striker. Having someone better before him for some years is good for his development - he can learn from them and have competition. Once Drogba and Torres leave, he will start getting more gametime. Can you imagine a 18-19 year old being our main man upfront? I sure can't.

You're probably right, thing is he will get easily frustrated by not playing for us, like Borini and many other talented youth players did, and will want to leave.

Lets not forget that we paid 20m.If we wanted to waste away talent then we probably would have gotten a cheaper alternative.
