Romelu Lukaku

[brakbrak]

He did decent in the first half but as usual is invisible against big teams. Pathetic.

Lukaku and Martinez aren't even contributing anything else but space for others to score.

You're making it sound as if it is some sort of silent contribution. If anything, others seem to score despite the ability of Lukaku to cover and demand so much space and balls that ruins our offensive flow. He's only being properly helpful when he attacks on the counter, mostly out wide on the right. Everything else slows us down.
Lauatro on the other hand works his ass off, runs well into spaces but he's either hasty with his finishes, unlucky with the direction the ball is - since he's mostly getting chances on the rebound or after a run with the ball - or just painfully irritating when he tries too much. Completely different.

Lukaku once more irrelevant in a big match, but at least he had a couple of decent moves and he wasn't a negative presence overall. He really needs to work on his awareness and his bloated selfish mindset and stop yelling at everyone who doesn't look for him all the fucking time, even if they're one on one with the keeper and he's buried 15 meters away behind a wall of defenders... I don't even know how this can be tolerated on a daily basis at training, let alone in big games!

You need to learn some humility before the squad turns against you.

You actually gave Lukaku an unintentional bigger praise than what my post was. You really believe I'm that big of a Lukaku fan?

I'm not saying anything on that, it's mostly a parallel monologue given on how ambiguous that statement you made is.

 

[Tamirk]

This guy need imrove his fucking finish skills and calm the fuck down, even if he wasnt surrounded by 3 rube defenders, he couldnt finish better anyway....

I just see that it's clear you like Lukaku more than me.

I never argued that I don't like him, I just get bad rep because I have high expectations based on his record transfer fee and huge salary. NBA argument would be that he's not a #1 option as the Americans say, but a volume player. Not what we need to spend our limited funds on.

Missed one glorious chance but at least he played well with his target game. Chiellini was his bitch, did Chiellini got the ball from Lukaku even one time? Maybe one time, which I don't remember.

 

[Ronaldo]

Played well tonight. I loved what he did to Chiellini

 

[Batman]

He always talks about team unity with teammates yet he yells everytime he doesnt get the ball even if he was in a shit position. It’s a bad thing. It was a good performance today nonetheless.

 

[uny_arturo]

Maybe he pampers the squad after every match. But his yelling will get on someone’s nerves sooner or later. Lukaku came across as a guy with a big heart. But he’s been visibly stressed cos he hasn’t been scoring (enough) field goals lately. Calm down. Just keep playing. You’ll be fine.

 

[rockball]

Don't think I have seen Chiellini being dominated in any match, not this bad.

 

[king_elnino]

well at least now the discussion its not about the pass and touch.. Its a prove that he still growing..

i believed his gesture sometimes to provoke the opponent that all the pass will go to him. But, in some times he will open room for another players.

 

[Pajo]

Boss game. Didnt score but he toyed Juves defense. Whtmat he did to Chielini was beautiful

He really needs to stop that whining when his teammates make mistake tho. It doesnt look good at all. Its a matter of time till an Osvaldo happens to him (lucky him he is a rock and no one would dare to do it )

That's mostly because we stopped highlighting that. His crosses to change the play were dismal and always gave away possession and he lost the ball far too many times trying to dribble. There, said it.

Chiellini was hanging on Lukaku's back all the time, like some nasty leech with Jube's referee almost completely ignoring it.

Even neither Lukaku nor Lautaro has scored, i pretty much liked their performance. Both of them (alongside with Barella and Hakimi) were constant threat for Jubentus defense, not allowing to Bonucci and Chiellini to participate in attacking phase.

 

[Ziyad]

Lukaku a beast even when not scoring causing all kinds of havoc for them. His passing was off though a bit. Chiellini though is still having nightmares about him

A lot of them weren’t even mistakes, like I don’t know how he expected Hakimi to pass backwards to him on his chance when he’s yards late.

He just wants every chance setup for him.

Yeah, Chielini had no idea how to cope with Lukaku. There was a funny moment when the italian was behind our guy, was going to the ground and grabbed Lukaku shirt with both hands so he could take him down .

Too bad Lukaku did not score but I believe he had a good game.
