Christacinto 137 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Lukaku is killing this system. Torres wouldn't do too much better but he'd be more used to this style definitely. It should be blatantly obvious to everyone right now why Rooney is wanted.This system though is basically built for a player like Oscar. Central, of course. None of that 'pivot' rubbish. You're awfully quick to write him off, aren't you? Mourinho will make him learn what he needs to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 just because Lukaku Torres'ed a few plays it doesn't mean he won't make it. He's still young and he knows he has to show his best now in the pre-season... let's give him some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember Drogba having a crappy touch in his first year with us also, with time I reckon Lukaku will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Not really following here. Can you explain that a bit? This opposition is too weak to draw any conclusions for me anyway.Yep. Lukaku keeps waiting in-line with the opposition's defenders trying to break a non-existent offside trap. He's waiting for the defenders to step forward and leave space behind them but they're not doing it. That's how both Lukaku and Torres play. They need loads of space to exploit and that is space you don't get vs. small opposition.He got this at West Brom however since they are a 'small' club who don't perform great and thus were pressed by opposition teams much more, which lead to them leaving said space behind for him to take advantage of.He's refusing to adapt and just keeps waiting, waiting, waiting. When he does get the ball, he's losing it half the time - against this weak opposition, as you say.One of Rooney's best traits is working with the ball in tight spaces, where Lukaku often fails due to a less-than-good first touch and ball-control, and often does that whole 'make something out of nothing' magic which only some strikers do consistently. Lukaku and Torres are both blueprint strikers for a counter-attacking team. We're a possession-based team - something Rooney is the blueprint striker for.
