Romelu Lukaku

[Hamilton 2,118]

Hm, looks like it's not as bad as first was written then..

[OneMoSalah 8,615]

Not in the match day squad for WBA. Must be injured or hes like 60 percent fit and they're being safe making sure he doesn't aggravate his knock,

[Kinol 337]

Seems like Lukaku is injured and wont play today.

Yup. Ankle injury unfortunately. Hope it's nothing serious.

Lukaku interview for West Brom. Among it he says he wishes his heading was as good as Peter Crouch (!), that he stayed behind and trained with Lampard and Drogba and also mentioned Malouda (!) and Anelka, and that he doesn't like being compared to Drogba now.

There is probably nothing more frustrating that constantly hearing you are the new this or the new that for someone aiming for the top let the kid be himself!

[gary gordon 1,777]

He wishes.. I would compare him more with Adebayor tbh.

Drogba had speed, strength, aerial ability, ball control ,could shoot with both feet and won 80% of headers in defence. Romelu can only wish he was anything like Drogba.

He seems a little outspoken for somebody that hasn't yet accomplished anything.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Lukaku's plays like Torres more than he does like Drogba.

[Jase 43,479]

Can't understand why so much comparison has to be made with players these days. Should just let each one of them be their own man and create their very own legacy.

“Didier and I have a similar playing style, but I don't think he would have wanted to be compared to someone when he was young," Lukaku told Sky Sports.

"Every player wants to be their own person, their own personality. I don't want to be the new anyone.

"At first it was OK - but now I'm bored of it. It isn't necessary and I don't like it now.

"I have my father's surname, I am Romelu Lukaku - I'm not anybody else. This is my own name and the name I want people to remember." - Lukaku

Spot on mate. Just keep doing what you are doing! Be your own man.

he played the entire secondh alf yesterday, anyone know how he got on?

i know Brom were down to 10 men, so he probably didn't see much of the ball, but would be nice to know how he reacted to playing as a 10 man team...

[Kinol 337]

Lukaku starts for West Brom today!!!!

[Stats 6,980]

About time he started, especially with Odemwingie suspended for 3 games. Big chance for him to prove himself

[Gily 37]

So-so first half :

- lost pretty much every header

- wasted an excellent 1on1 chance because of a heavy first touch.

+ hold up the ball well when played in his feet

+ good in buildup play

Baggies are playing a shocking match though, passing has been abysmal, they are in dire need of a decent playmaker.

2nd half :

Improved his performance with a couple of good runs and scored a goal, was lucky to score with a shot in the dead centre of the goal.

Subbed off at 77'

[Stats 6,980]

Goal for Lukaku! So pleased for him. I would 100% rather him over Torres right now

Good for the lad. Hope he continues to improve and do well there.
