Romelu Lukaku

[Stats 6,982]

I highly doubt Mourinho will even put Lukaku on the bench next game.

He will not be sulking for 2 weeks ffs. He will be more eager than ever to put that in the past and he will be fired up to play and score goals.

At the end of the day it counts as a trophy alot might say its nothing but if we had won everyone would of said we are the Queen of Europe.

Anyway with this im off to bed hope i will feel better tomorrow, after that horrible goal in 120 min.

I understand your frustration mate, but you have to move on and look at the bigger picture. We nearly beat Bayern with 10 men, Torres scored a stunner, Eto'o is a Chelsea player, Mou is back and so will the glory days. By next May, you won't even remember what this trophy was called and when we played for it. Head up.

Of course it doesnt but at the end of the season i bet RM we're happy they atleast got that better then nothing.

the same RM fans who were so happy over the international cup win. yes something is better than nothing .

but the point was this something is nothing to lose sleep over. and the end of the day it does not matter.

if you give me a choice of choosing only one win - a PL win over any team or today's match, i would take PL in a heartbeat. thats how much worth this match is of.

He was shocking. No threat upfront but it was his defensive work rate that angered me. Couldn't be arsed to close down players.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him go out loan.

With Eto'o here now and Torres clearly being favoured over him I can't see him getting enough game time this year.

hahahahahaha... no threat upfront. after going 2-1 up, and we officialy letting go of even thinking of attacking, you wanted lukaku to attack, and believe me he almost pulled it off when he took 3 bayern players on, went past them and it was lahm (right back) who cleared the ball out on the left edge of the box. NO THREAT UPFRONT??

he played as a right back for the last 10 minutes. we used the very formation rdm used against barca. 6-3-0 with oscar-mikel-lamps while lukaku and hazard as 2nd full backs. so who did you want him to close down?? need to get off the stuff you are on dude...

Mickey Mouse trophy we don't even own! And we are the first team to lose two times in a row in succesive years.

I think we are the first team EVER to have played in successive finals a glass of sherry should be half FULL not half empty

Thought he did very well when he came on, difficult circumstances but he managed to get on the ball a few times and harried their defenders, would have liked to see him come on before the red as I feel he could have had more of an impact. I think the penalty will be good for him in the long run, better now than in the champions league final and it will drive him on to prove himself in the coming games. Being only 20 and taking the decisive penalty in a European cup final says it all about him really.

Not exactly. If you look at since the UEFA Super Cup being changed to just one game, then yeah. But otherwise, we are not. Bayern lost the Super Cup twice in a row back in 1975 and 1976.

I love this game but this was absolutley the wrong game for him. I cannot belive Im saying this, but its the truth: subbing Torres for Lukaku was a mistake looking at the game picture. We had one goal up and were defending deep. Torres actually does that quite well, so i dont see why we put Lukaku. For me it was the wrong time to get him on.

Tough for him to miss that penalty, it was a really poor shot but im glad Jose showed him that trust.

He'll come back stronger!

kudos to the future cap (luiz not romelu.)... the way he consoled him,,, brilliant.

[zolayes 14,489]

Luiz MUST be our next captain

Just couldn't believe such a huge man can hit a penalty so soft.

Good thing we have people like Lamps, JT and Jose who will lift the lad up. I can imagine Didier giving him a ring aswell.

Lesson learned hopefully.

Didier will be able to relate to what he did tonight in a way, he got sent off in the 2008 final in Moscow (obviously not a missed penalty but still effectively the same as one as hes a specialist at penalties and you'd have backed him to score), hopefully Romelu gets second chance in a European final to put things right. He will be the best person to pick Romelu up, hes his idol and he has had such a similar thing happen to him in a way.

Remember what happend to Kakuta after he missed the decisive penalty in a league cup shoot-out..

Kakuta does not have the same mentality as Lukaku though.

[Term-X 7,891]

Wouldn't know, I'm not a psychologist. They both have (had in Kakuta's case) similar roles (reputations/expectancy) in the team at the time in which the events took place.

Porto also played 2 consecutive finals when Mourinho won the UEFA CUP in 2003 and the Champions in 2004. And Porto also lost both games I think. Mourinho lost in 2003 against Milan (European CHampion), and Luis Fernandez lost against Valencia (UEFA Cup winner). I'm not sure about this second game but I think it was like that.
