For those who look for silly comments, maybe if you paid attention to what was written and what you saw, you'd not be making them.
This was Lukaku's best game with us.
Not only because he scored and assisted. But because he reduced his mistakes. He didn't move back to cause us to lose the ball or disorient our attack, he just focused on being the main attacker.
He still had a couple of bad touches, some stupid runs where he was also pointing where he was moving which wasn't even an option since the passing lane was closed and other minute things and details. It's not that important as that's part of the game and his style. But "getting involved" is something he avoided last night and of course it paid off. With our midfield that was a guaranteed suicide as well given how we scraped some dumb errors at the back.
He was quite good with pass&run or one-two situations. In the first half I think it was Vecino that tried to move it wide instead of lob it forward to him and the attack was intercepted.
Now his goal was an unlucky moment from Slavia but at least he got that out of his system after being robbed of the first one. Hopefully that gives him confidence because that's the only way this guy operates. If he doesn't feel good, don't expect him to have a positive impact. He's not a game changer and we knew that. Which is part of the complaint for his huge price tag.
But this game mattered, Slavia was outplaying us all night long and Handanovic, the defence, Lautaro, Valero, Brozovic (improved a lot in the 2nd half) and Lukaku showed up. A good show of team character. Hopefully we keep this up.
