Romelu Lukaku

[AfricanBlue 104]

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

both feet on the ground again, back some modesty in his heart and open for business now.

Lol. I said he offered up no threat but pointed out I was more annoyed by his lack of defensive effort. Poor attitude and desire from a player competing with 3 other players for one spot.

Eto'o and Torres are better options for me. Deal with it.

You were practically campaiging against the Cavani signing in the summer so Lukaku got a chance, now you want Lukaku to be shipped out on loan to give time to one off the worst players in our history?

Jesus fuking christ.
