Everton defender Distin on Lukaku:

"He might like Drogba a lot as a player, but i think Rom's very different"

"He's a lot more powerful. Drogba was a mixture of strength, and i have to say cheating"

'I made decision to leave, but I'll return to Chelsea a better player' - Free-scoring Lukaku vows to light up Stamford Bridge after Everton loan ends

One of the biggest surprises has been Lukaku record. In his first season at Chelsea he was a pain to watch, back in 11/12 season. Yeah, he only played few minutes, but when he did he made me wonder "This kid is really bad".

In Brazil we call this kind of player "grosso": a guy that does not have a lot of skills but can't stop scoring. Must part of his PL goals are ugly ones but his record is there and it speaks for itself. He scored for WB and is scoring for Everton, so scoring for Chelsea is just a natural thing to happen.

What a hit on Lloris with the knee.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Dude almost took Lloris' head off. That was scary, can't believe they let Lloris continue. Lukaku had a very very bad game though.

I was watching the game to keep an eye on Romelu and that looked scary, Lloris was out cold turkey. Not the greatest game from Lukaku mind, had a bit of an off day, the cagey game didn't exactly help.

Gerd Muller never scored pretty goals yet he is the most prolific striker in history

the most amazing thing happened to me on sunday.

if there if any indian around, he/she ll vouch for me when i tell u that football is not that popular sport around here. specially in the generation older to mine (i am 21). its only now that football has started getting any popularity here and it is still light years behind cricket.

anyways to get to the point, my father and i were just watching some television on sunday and i switched on eveton vs tottenham for sometime. after watching for 10 minutes, my father looked at an everton player and exclaimed, "THATS YOUR PLAYER, RIGHT?". he was obviously refering to ROMELU LUKAKU (who else), and he had thought that lukaku was actually Didier Drogba (who he knows, i simply love).

it was a pretty nice moment for me.

Hope he can continue Drog's legacy in the years to come.

Your father must have recognized Rom from the tank video on YouTube amirite?

Distin mate, its called good center forward play. Its called getting your body in between the ball and marker to draw fouls/hold it up/bring others into the game. Drogba was exceptional at that.

[Tomo 21,733]

Whenever i think of Distin i can't help but think back to the game in 2003 when we beat City 5-0 and he had one of the worst defensive displays im ever likely to witness.

when was the last time he scored?

I've watched Belgium and he was harmless again (had already been the last Everton game I've watched, don't remember against who, I guess Spurs), but this topic has been so quiet lately (it was even in the second page of the current squad section).

This is not a jab, just an honest question about his scoring stats (and maybe even current capabilities) that made people go crazy when he was loaned - while a few others stood by their opinion that he wasn't ready to take the responsibility in our attack (which has a lot more pressure than Everton's), as a supporting player, let alone as the leader as a few others suggested.

Also, maybe the kid will learn to speak a little less because if memory doesn't fail, I guess he's scored only one goal (or no goal at all) since his legendary quote that he hoped/planned (or whatever) to score more goals than Chelsea's strikers (which should be his goal, he just could go without voicing it to the press). Funnily - or oddly enough - ever since our strikers have been scoring every other match...

It's all part of his learning curve... both in the pitch and off it and I continue to believe he wasn't ready for us.

And hopefully no jinx, to the kid or to our strikers (shall they all score). It's just an observation.

No. It was Crystal Palace. Also he only played 30 minutes yesterday so 'harmless again' as a statement is pretty harsh, considering he started 6 games and scored 5 + one assist. Memory sure is a biased biatch, innit?
