Welcome big man
Finally managed to see him but tbh leces defenders were too scare of him to be able to make a proper judgement. The real test will be vs Chielini other than that we can already give some judgements:
Cons:
*Ok people were right, his 1st touch is horrible
. I had never noticed this before but it was quite clear. Basically we have to take for certain that half of his 1st touches will be wrong and half will be ok. But man, in that 2nd half he can create havoc.
*Too heavy , it was visible when he wanted to reach on candrevas cross. He basically elevated for like 2 cm from ground which is ridiculous. Now , since i dont follow PL i don't know if he can improve on this or not but if he wants to score any header in serie a he needs to get lighter. You can't pretend for the ball to reach your head ffs
*Needs to shoot more. I appreciate the generosity but he had many chances where it would have been better for him to shoot rather then pass to lautaro.
Pros:
*A beast on counter attack. Luckily for us there is a new vibe on new italian coaches where they are inspired by the likes of guardiola/sarri so all think they can make their team play good possession football with high defensive lines even though they train the likes of fucking lece or brescia. I had a boring sunday so i watched almost all the matches , the only team which was closing in defense was Udinese (trained by a CB like tudor btw), all the others were trying to play football so this means Lukaku will fuck them up
*Huge presence in the link up play. He was always asking for the ball when we were building on possession. This is exactly what makes him better overall then Icardi for us
*Great power, speed and technical ability (aside of 1st touch) which means that you can exploit him in various ways
*Just 2 weeks with the team and already a great presence in the pitch.
