Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

If our players passed him the ball when he was open maybe he could score

Or this

Lukaku going missing when it counts during a big match? Color me shocked

We’re down 10 men where he’s our only attacker playing up front this is shameless

Just be patient breh. These Chelsea and United brehs are all gonna get their wakeup calls come January

 

[TheOptimisticCynikal]

Early days they will figure it out as the season goes on

They'll figure it out alright

For once he's matched up against centerbacks who can handle his physicality.

People like the idea of Lukaku as the classic big man up front, back towards goal Drogba-esque striker, but the reality is quite different.

I have to refrain myself from considering him a poacher

Or this

That's not what we bought him for everybody knows that
Mount and Havertz gave him no service the entire match

Do you guys not see Lukaku absolutely isolated up front by himself? What exactly do you want the man to do differently?

Don't know what match mfs is watching
Havertz selfishly taking on 2 players while Lukaku is open in the middle of the box
Mount just took ages on the ball and fukked up an easy through ball to Lukaku like 10 minutes ago
They sent him a long ball he holds the ball and no one comes up to support
The squad has to get used to playing with a proper #9, they acting like this shyt is brand new to them

So all that size and pace (and supposed "strength") is for?

He's wasted as a advanced forward. Have you seen his first touch? I guess he kinda makes good runs towards goal, but when he was at united it was hard to not view him as just a big ass poacher.

Ole tried him on the wing towards the end of his tenure with us and that kind of worked, but Lukaku didn't fancy it

96 million well spent though
