Romelu Lukaku

How about that for a first touch from him:

The talent is there. His first touch will come good. What he seems to be struggling with tbf, is when our midfielders fire the ball at his feet in tight spaces.

I said in another thread ...hie first touch is FUCKING AWFUL ,,,,instead of finding a team mate it ends up in their net

Needs to start against United, scored a hat trick last season against them; only striker we have currently that unsettles opposition defenders; only striker we have that is able to get into shooting positions constantly.

Hopefully the fact he was a sub in the last 2 matches means that he is next in the scheme to start a match since we need our striker to do a lot better than Ba did tonight or Torres did against Hull. He did start a lot of games in the friendly matches so he must be raring to go

Was Benteke in your thoughts as a striker to buy?

He is a great player but he is a great player for a certain style of football. We tried to play a different style of football.

We tried to play the way we played against Hull. We tried to play the way we train every day but the good thing from my team today was Villa gave us a different match and we coped with that.

Benteke is a the same kind of CF Lukaku is. It makes me wonder if Lukaku is the CF for the kind of football Mourinho wants.

Depends the opponent Mou changes the tactics, Mou not have a definite style. This is the reason why Mou wants Rooney ....variants

If Lukaku doesn't start against MU I think there is some issue between him and Mou. Surely after 2 horrible performances from our 2 other ST Lukaku should get his chance now?

LOL, believe me there is no issue between the two. It was similar to when Lukaku was on loan at WBA last season. He was a sub for the first two league games at WBA then gradually began to start games. Had Mourinho had an issue with him Lukaku would have been shipped out on loan again. Mourinho wanted him here for a reason and I am sure time will prove that.

Yeah hopefully, I would hate for our best ST atm getting beef with our one hell of a manager. But my opinion is that Lukaku should start against MU

LOL, wtf why would there be "beef"?

I just hope the beef is done by next game!

Fuck off, a person is hungry at 6 in the morning and you post that? C'mon Stingray...

I have this awkward feeling that Torres will start... I hope Mou proves me wrong.

Why? I don't think Mou will throw his long term option to the lions, endangering the confidence of the lad. Torrid will start and Lukaku to come on after 55 minutes!

Isn't that exactly what I'm saying, or am I missing something here ? Torres to start, Lukaku on the bench as a supersub, again.

Or do you mean it's for his own good not to start, yet?

[Stingray 9,441]

Yep ...

[Xtraxion 100]

Yep ...

Ok, now I'm feeling stupid lol. Perhaps, at this moment, that's the best option for him. We'll see.
