Romelu Lukaku

[zolayes 14,489]

I dont watch a lot of Everton games but he missed a lot of chances vs Norwich and his general movement is awful. He progressed in a sense that he uses his big body more efficientely but I have serious doubts about him being the main striker here.

Im CERTAIN he wont be the main striker here ,, We were stupid enough to send him away

We don't seem to see talent in players till they're elsewhere and given the chance to play.so annoying but sod all can do

hahahahah... people STILL trying to make excuses. oh well!!! there will always be sour grapes.

You need to watch more games than stats mate. Lukaku missed at least 2 clear chances in the first half and now his team is at the risk of losing this game. They would be comfortable now had he converted those chances.

Edit: Stones is amazing though, I wish he was here.

I doubt he wants to come back with us (especially with Jose in our bench), but Lukaku is available in the January (reports are talking about a bid from Manchester United about 50 million pounds) I think we should try to sign him (or at least be in the fight). Although it is true that it is a high price (Kane would cost about the same), Lukaku is one of the few TOP forwards that could play with us in the Champions League.

An option to reconsider, 17 goals in 15 games, he knows our home and he would be a perfect compliment to Diego Costa and generate more competitiveness in our squad..

Although I have to be honest and admit that his performance with us was disappointing with continuous passivity behavior.

yes, he missed one good chance but to say that his MOVEMENT is not that good is absolutely hilarious when most of his goals come through his good movement behind the defnce. i would ask you to watch everton games more often than judging him on one game where he already has scored and could have had one more and could have as easily had an assist.

and serious doubt about being the main striker here. really. he is STILL just 22. and better than or atleast as good as any striker we have in our roster.

One of them were clear. The other one was a difficult angle. Either way, he scored a great header and is on 15 for the season and has improved signifcantly this season. I agree he could of easily had a hattrick but he still has scored for fun and if I would take a striker who scores for us every game but misses a few in the game, I would take him.

are we STILL blaming lukakau for wanting to play?

a 20 year old, who could have been our future has competition with torres and ba, and supposedly judged to be worse than both of them. and then jose had the audacity to go and buy a 33 year old etoo knowing he will not be anything more than a stop gap.

and then, jose plays schurrle ahead of lukaku at OT as a striker, literally spitting in his face and telling him that you are not getting any games here. sorry, but any ambitious player with a smidgen of self respect would have done what lukaku did. that too in a world cup year.

Lukaku scored about as many PL goals in the last six games than Costa did in the last calendar year. I have serious doubts about Costa being the main striker here.

I don't doubt he would be a very good squad player to have and certainly would have started over Diego if he was here this season but when both are on form I know I would take Costa every single time.

He refused to stay and fight for a place under Mourinho anyway so I'm not really sure why anyone would be frustrated tbh.

Hi friend!

But I'm not criticizing Lukaku for wanting to play more and prefer to go to a small team where he can take minutes to continue his evolution. I would have done the same.

But now he is a player "completely done" with 22 years and he should reconsider the possibility of returning to us.

I only criticized some passive behavior when Lukaku was with us. But if he wanted to take minutes it is totally understandable What I want to say that he should have no hatred against us and reconsider a hypothetical possibility of returning to our squad.

Regards.

No. Mourinho did not give him a serious chance and decided to buy a 33 year old striker to sum it up. We shall all know by now that Lukaku made the right choice and Mourinho and giving serious chances to youth players has never been one he is good at.

I dont blame him for refusing to stay and fight.If its obvious your going to be over looked again and again make more sense to go somewhere where you wont be.Getting playing time and a as a result is doing well.101 games and 51 goals isn't bad.Just seems to be the way we do things..annoyingly

good to see Pacqual back

Jose never bet on the young, and Lukaku is another example.

But perhaps now Lukaku could reconsider a hypothetical back with us and not have any kind of hatred / resentment against Chelsea.

Life is life, and life is so hard. Lukaku is now demonstrating their quality with Everton and perhaps Chelsea would be the best place to continue their evolution. A club he knows and a club which paid a lot of money for him when Lukaku was very young.

Our strikers were Torres,Lukaku,Ba. You think trying to buy a good striker to have a shot at winning the league was a bad idea?

Anyway, the way I see it. He never stayed so we dont know how things would have happened. All strikers had their chance at one moment or another during that season and the coach was not satisfied with any of his choices. He could have had his chance possibly but we will never know.
