zolayes 14,489 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I thought it was a promising debut . Obviously the pace of the game is quicker than the Belgian league. I'm sure he will improve ..Pleased with what he showed today ... NO LOAN before Jan and hopefully not then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino- 116 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Torres is still at least a goal, while not Lukaku part of the joke. Lukaku definitely include quite good and definitely think it will be a strong figure in the composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Was this really necessary? I mean, I was happy with Lukaku's performance and I'm excited for him, but no need to bash Torres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atholy 1,293 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Great debut!Very confident and demanding the ball at anytime... Good to see he set up some good combinations with the wingers!And how present can you be in a 15 minute subsititution ! Still can do a lot better!

Wilson 358 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Impressive debutes from both Lukaku and Mata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Lukaku looked good today maybe he was hesitant sometimes but you've got to remember he is only 18, looked a brilliant player in Belgium and can only get better at the Bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was REALLY impressed by Lukaku when he came on today. He got into really good attacking areas, and he knew how to control the ball. Kalou and Anelka need to learn from him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnie_666 1,081 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Does anyone else agree that Lukaku did more in 19 mins than Torres has done in 21 games?Not Really cus as Far as I remember. Torres scored a Goal and Lukaku didnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Also, not sure What Lukaku did that got you so excited that you had to start a thread. He could have pulled the trigger a bit early on the shot on goal. But he is still rusty, and will take time. Looked Decent and energetic but to say he did more than Torres was out rightly stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,477 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Was this really necessary? I mean, I was happy with Lukaku's performance and I'm excited for him, but no need to bash Torres.I think it was "largely" a joke mate...Anyways with Ulises Davila, i think we have ever kind of striker in our team...It'll be a shame on our midfield, if none of these guys start scoring though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got into really good attacking areas, and he knew how to control the ball. Kalou and Anelka need to learn from him!Add Drogba and Torres to that list and exclude Anelka. . . in regards to ball control and retention.

SeB 1,281 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I did like Lukaku's overall performance, he was available and did show a great understanding with his partners, the intention was really there. His first touches were not that good but it's only a debut.Otherwise, the thing I did appreciate a lot was his Darren Bent style to play a relay with a support player such as Anelka or Bosingwa on the wing and directly go into the box after that, I did read he is a clinical finisher (even if he said he has to improve, but like every other striker !) and pretty clever in the box so he will certainly be very usefull this season by tracking down balls in the penalty box.If we improve drastically our free kicks and corners (with Mata's help, great crossing ability otherwise !) and if we find someone to score goals like Bent it's nearly a guarantee of 10~15 points more than last season !

bababoom 4,478 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Played well, he needs to work on his first touch, but i'm sure he will, just like Drogba did when he first came here. Pretty good debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,367 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yup agree with most of the comments-intelligent beyond his young years, powerful, and can only get better. Made me laugh how he was still gesticulating for the ball when Mata had slid it in :giggle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
