Romelu Lukaku

[nono 791]

It was a brilliant finish from Lukaku. And that is all that really matters as a striker. Origi had two much easier chances in the game and he hit both of them straight at Howard whereas Lukaku found a goal in an impossible space. Origi is a very good player obviously but it doesn't seem like he can finish.

He thrives when there are open spaces. He's not very useful when the other team parks the bus.

I hope he want to stay. And Jose want him to stay. And I'm not saying it because he was just scored last night. It is hard to see a talented player like that go to another club.

Origi is a far better footballer but Lukaku is a better goalscorer. I think just about every football fan knows this, that's not why we don't rate him though.

Origi has Henry/Anelka-potential. Just needs to work on his finishing.

hahahhahahhahahha... oh god... some of the osters on here!!!

hahahaahahahahah oh god....some of the posters on here...come against a dead tired team usa all in going in attack, Lukaku is so good!!111

Its funny that there were some smart asses who blamed Lukaku for everything and praised Origi.

But what is even funnier now is that after Lukaku scored winner and put them doubters here wrong, they still want to hide it with fact that Origi was "better" in game, the same game where Lukaku scored winner and assisted the other. Origi is not even our player while Lukaku is and yet they are protecting Origi. Seriously no disrepect to anyone directly, but if you cant support our players in best and worst (including Oscar and others), you can simply fuck off.

I am sick of listening "football experts" who watch game and jerk on Origi, James, Sanchez,...while completely trashing Oscar, Lukaku, Costa,...and change opinion after every game...chelsea fans my ass.

Origi was much better than Lukaku, only a nuthugger would say otherwise.

cos every subbed in striker own a defense again and again and again, right? i mean has there ever been a game where a striker does not grind them to pulp after being subbed. hmmm... interesting...

ohh i forgot who i was talking to, a torres fan.

I think ppl bashing him too much because his skill isnt as big as his mouth. If he stay low and acts like schuerrle most people will support him even he played like a shit. But no, this guy wants the world ack him as fast as possible, there isnt word patience in his dictionary. And how many times he wants to leave Chelsea? If Everton get Champions spot he said he will move for them. And after the inquiry of Diego Costa, he said it again. Did he seriously think he's better than Costa?

Young players need to understand that they're young. So if they play like shit people still rate him because of his age. But If they want to be treated like adults, they have to pay the price, which is a lot of bashing and criticizing will be upon them every time they play like shit

How about Kevin De Bruyne people?!

9.9 rating (whoscored.com)

created the most chances (10) a single player has EVER created in a WC game

goal and assist

Always said he'd prove Mourinho wrong, just didn't think he'd do it with such a bloody passion!

I'll keep on repeating it: neglecting KDB and letting him go is the biggest disgrace in Mourinho's career, not only talking about his Chelsea term.

Yep big misstake to let him go. He is, in my opinion, better than Oscar.

Question is, did letting KDB go allowed Hazard to shine last season as much as he did?

Also, no belgium do not press at all, so selling KDB is fine.

Rob Green statistically has the best game for a PL keeper in history (Arsenal vs West Ham in 2007). Sorry Thiabut we have found a better option.

Further more I don't care what he does for Belgium in yhr six months he was with us our other AMs were better than him, and don't give me he only played in the carling cup, so did Azpilucueta initially but he TOOK ADVANTAGE of the game time he got.

It's not about who did better. Origi is the better rounded footballer - it's clear to see. He can drop deep and play as CAM, or wing, etc. Not going to be fantastic at that, but he has the ability for it.

How good he's going to be in a few years is anyone's guess, but he does have the skills.

Lukaku is really a powerful and interesting striker, who can be very effective in certain conditions. He is still 21! And he too will improve with time and games, but his characteristics won't change drastically: Origi will always be the more skillful while Lukaku the more powerful of the two.

Belgium are lucky to have such options. Chelsea must not loan out Lukaku out though.... Torres can play with the youth team.

Concerning Kevin, reckon it's the same problem Mata had: he can't defend, and despite his attacking ability, Jose values defense/pressing too much. That's how Jose likes to setup his sides, and it is his prerogative as manager.
