Though he is now a little off the pace for 20 PL goals this season it's not impossible for him to catch up. In any case, 18, 19 or 20 goals is not likely to be the deal breaker for our title hopes. I would not have signed Rom and was disappointed when we did but he's far from a 0/10 player. Rom is a poison to our team, the issue is not individual performances. I could live with that like Werner, Zyich, Havertz, Pulisic, Mount, etc when they have bad games. But they still do their individual assignments and general play to make sure their performances does not spill over to the team. Rom is a huge detriment to the team. I hope Tuchel gives him the Chilwell treatment, even though Chilly did nothing to lose his spot. I hope to see Tuchel make Lukaku earn his starting spot. btw he is on pace to score around 11 goals, he has 3 goals with 1/4 season in the book.

The question has to be whether we can win the PL with him as our primary striker and I think the answer is yes as long as the team around him maintains the level we see now. Would I prefer a different sort of striker? Probably so. But it’s not like we had many options. No way is he getting 20 PL goals. He'd be lucky to get 15.

You wouldn’t write off Kane who’s having a miserable season or Messi who hasn’t done a thing at PSG yet just because they’re in a rough patch. I’d give him a whole season before truly judging him. Plus, we can be 100% sure he isn’t a player like Morata or Torres who will mentally collapse if things are going poorly. He’s got that killer mentality from Inter and will be determined to fight through poor form. My opinion of Rom is not something I have mustered up over night. I didn't want him to return in 2016 or 2017, i just simply don't like his overall game. I'm not saying he's completely useless and there will be games where he will be useful. If he was being utilised in that way I wouldn't have that huge an issue but he's literally playing every game he's avaliable for even when the false 9 is more suitable to a certain game (City prime example).

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Seeing as Antonio rates Lakaku so highly, what do you reckon on a straight swap for Kane.👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that Levy never wants to do business with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very surprised if there is anyone on here that has actually watched this boy in 10+ full 90 minute games to give a real opinion. Best bet you've got is to go and look at some stats and Youtube videos and make up your own mind, taking into consideration that those aren't the greatest means to assess a player.

So long as he is good on the ball and decent positional awarness, he should be fine. A bonus he is familiar with this system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just because Low is Hungarian doesn’t necessarily mean anything in regards to he hand picked him etc, we know how the club operates and how they always have, likelihood we have been following him for a while.
