OH MY FUKKING WORD LOOKMAN WHAT ARE DOING MAN!!!!

For those who weren't watching, Fulham got a penalty at the very very end down a goal to West Ham. Lookman took it and tried a panenka. Fabianski saved it without much trouble.

I feel so sorry for the kid.

Why did they let him take it? Did he win the pen?

Mitrovic not around?

What's the story with this dude?

Great playmaker from the little I've seen of him past few years, but I don't get why it took so long for a big club to snatch him up (at a bargain price too).

Ajax was selling him for 25m euros in 2018 :francis:

Would've still been better off than signing Javier Pastore (5 year contract, second highest paid player, 25m transfer fee, hip surgery). Can't even sell Argentinian Ozil :snoop:

He's been looking to leave Ajax for the last 2-3 years. It just never worked out with various clubs for various reasons. Then Ajax upgraded his contract and promised to let him leave for a "cheap" price if he doesnt leave in the middle of season. I've been following him the last 6 years or so and by god one of the best left foot I ever seen.
