If Lukaku doesn't win us the sextuple this season, you're gone!

Lmao there's always a chance.

But realistically I expect him to score atleast 25 goals all comps.

Not good enough to win the title, but at least we can reach 80/85 points

Yes I am telling you this. SFL is an extremely intelligent man who made the absolute most of his abilities but, for example, he did not strike a ball with same timing that Gerrard did. This isn't to say that Frank didn't sometimes get it right and Gerrard sometimes get it wrong. If I need someone to score the goal Gerrard did against West Ham in Cardiff however I'd call the Liverpool man. Some things you can learn but some you can't.

 

Surely you see that the very fact coach and player are still having to work on this nine years after I made the point that it would remain a problem shows that I was right? What's Rom going to have learned in the last 12 months that he didn't learn in the previous 108?

It won't surprise you to read that I don't consider myself to be naive. Anything can be worked on but not everything can be fixed. Believing that would indeed be naive.

weird comparison given SFL scored way more long-distance goals than Gerrard. while that timing aspect is arguable, both were very talented shooters you could see that in their early career.

Lukaku on the other hand has always been below average in several aspects of the game.

Still, i would argue that a player can improve individual aspects of his game at any age but it hardly gonna improve overall as a player after he hit his late 20ies with the exception of players who started to play professional football late. Kante or Drogba clearly improved their passing during their time here at the bridge. It is ofc down to natural talent how much you can improve and first touch will never be Rom's forte but it is totally in the realm of the possible that he improved his first touch from terrible to just about tolerable even in 12 months. Maybe Rom did not respond to prior coaching methods and only Conte found the right approach. I say this as somoene who is against this transfer, i still have seen lukaku do inch perfect first touch layoffs for Inter that would have landed in the stands during his ManUre time.

                           LUKAKU

                   KANTE  JORGINHO

CHILWELL  SILVA    KOUNDE   JAMES

                           MENDY

Bit of a selection headache for TT in the very biggest matches. Starting both Lukaku and Werner together could be scary good on the counter against say, City or Liverpool when they press us high. But then you likely have to sacrifice Mount meaning we can’t press as high as we ourselves like to.

Tommy Tuchel for sure will continue with 5-2-3 .

I wonder where Kounde will play and who will sit on the bench  maybe Azpilicueta and Jorginho will be 1st captain

Azpi will be benched at some point.. we have to ease him out. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,477]

We need to be title winners this season.

[Pizy 18,368]

Wonder what the deal with Koundé is. We were in “hot days” and seemingly right on the verge of signing him and then not a whisper in about a week now.

[Warning_Hazard 156]

For what its worth I think lukaku is an absolute waste of time and wonga.

 

Italian league is bags slower and less competitive by miles, He still doesnt look that great for belgium with a squad of worldies!

 

Hazard upfront would be better!

Is that based on the assumption that Havertz is gonna start every game...?

In my opinion, yes. I think he will become the most undroppable attacking mid for us.

[Pizy 18,368]

Imagine if we’re unable to to get our managers top choice target because Zouma refuses to go… 😑😑😑

Havertz will still no doubt sit out games due to rotation. Lukaku, Havertz, Werner and Mount rotating for three spots would mean plenty of playing time for everyone. It's the likes of Pulisic and Ziyech that have to be worried about their roles, but if those two (or even one of them) step up as well then Tuchel will have a positive problem to think about.

Any other club in the mix for Zouma? We need him to get the hint and move on

Spurs, but them signing Romero means no Zouma.
