Newty82 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Say what you will. He wasn't there today. Poor. And we can debate is as much as we like but when you have Redknapp, Neville, Souness, Carragher and Reid...all very good players with tonnes of top level exoerience...all saying the same thing about him. Everything that has been said before. It speaks for itself. A great goalscorer. But nowhere near the level he either thinks he is at or aspires to be at.

Well put Newty.... it wasn't poor service it was pretty much abandonment of duties today. Against liverpool our most physically gifted player could not give a shit enough to be arsed to challenge dejan lovren... he should be made to watch that game again and then asked what he thinks about his supposed level of football.

Newty82 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 My thoughts on Lukaku at the moment are, and I'm not going to work on him here just because of yesterday, in fact, I'm not intending to criticise but be as constructive as possible from his own views and words. Yes, as an Evertonian, I am grateful for the goals he has scored. They cannot be discounted. And as I said a while ago in this thread, I have long time accepted that this is the sort of player he will be. Let's be honest here, goalscorers, by the very nature of football, tend to receive a larger portion of plaudits. Plenty of times this season, you can bet Lukaku will have an average game but get the internationally coveted 'Toffee Talk Man of the Match' vote because he scores a goal. Come on, you know it's true! I've giggled to myself on numerous occasions about the predictability of it. Anyway, from Lukaku's point of view. Yet again, in his own words, he speaks of ambition and wanting to play amongst the best in the Champions League because he believes he is on that level now. The spotlight turns to him. In turn, he puts pressure on himself from the media, fans, pundits. The problem is that, more often than not, when he comes up against defenders that are of Champions League standard, he goes missing, gets marked out of the game and/or can't seem to find the space to score goals. Yes, he gets the odd goal (mainly against Man City...he likes them!!!), but looking back through his record over a few years, he struggles to score (his main role remember!) against teams who's defence is made up of title/cup winning defenders who play their trade at the highest level. It's stopped being a coincidence. The things that many have said he struggles with...work rate and movement...make him easier to cancel out for top level defenders. I think he's improved this season. But he still has some way to go. So his best place is here, where he is just on the edge of that top level and where he can grow, hopefully, as the team grows. Where fans love a traditional top goalscorer, where he'll get all the support and plaudits he craves. But, if he doesn't want to be here, I still say let him go and we move on.

Hafnia Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 So alukaku never bothered and all the rest had bad games. Sound. In terms of "performance levels" nearly every player was 5 or 6 out of 10. Quite simply we were not good enough.... poor decisions, poor passing, not sharp enough. In terms of effort levels - one player stood out all on his own as one complete and utter lazy fucker who I would struggle to give 1/10 for what I considered not turning up. This is a derby..... most fans on here felt sick with nerves, probably thinking about it from over a week ago.... lukaku never showed any effort - none whatsoever. Lovren didn't put Rom in his pocket - rom climbed into his pocket. Aiden suggested holding him to his 2 years... The way he showed yesterday I wouldn't hold him for 2 matches - we can't afford a finisher who shows up when he fancies because whether he likes it or not the top level involves playing top teams with top defenders.... lovren isn't even that good! He allowed him to nip in on him time after time. Ever seen Rom outpaced? Maybe a couple of times by quick players - lovren outpaced him on a through ball. If he tried he would be shouldering the blame with the rest of them who were just shit... But maybe if he tried it would be a different story. Got a text off my mate this morning. He always rated lukaku since his hattrick for west brom vs liverpool.... it read "easy easy.... you were right about lukaku. Lads next to me were pissing themselves - made lovren look like beckenbauer and he's shit. He makes sturridge look energetic.... can we play you every week?"

EFC-Paul Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I don't think he means it that way Pad it's the Lukaku thread and with his recent comments and from others he has more of the spotlight on him at the moment Dunc, I don't have to name names it was a general slur the man gets far to much give when it comes to performances and his actions for me personally I've already said I'd love him to stay here and I do rate him but I'm not blinded by his tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same story... The question should be "why?".... because the answer is that against top teams he does not put in the same effort. It's visible. It stood out more clearly when we had naismith here.... That's why I loved him. The bigger the name the more he seemed to relish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I believe its a case of not fancying the dirty work required against better players. Many occasions I seen drogba draw blanks against the likes of arsenal, United.... But he would cause their back 4's headaches - allow the midfield to press on which alleviated pressure. Was so often a reliable out ball for Terry and carvalho.

Popular Post c1982 Posted April 2, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Rom was very poor yesterday but so was everyone. I dream one day of being able to put out a fully strength team in this type of game. We seriously lacked any creativity yesterday but Rom didn't go out and make anything happen either. I believe if and when the quality of our attacking midfielders improves then we'll have the right striker in Rom ahead of them.

You can have "Poor" exam results... poor because maybe nerves got the better of you and you had a bad nights sleep and all your hard work was forgotten - always felt sorry for those people. Then you have people who know it's a big exam... fail to prepare and on the big day just sit there doodling cos they cant be arsed. It annoys the shit out of the teachers and insults those who work hard but fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paddock Posted April 2, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I disagree sorry. If Man Utd finish 5th or 6th and come in for him he will go. Still no Champions League football and they still look a way off being a title challenger. He just knows that he can ask for £200k or more at a bigger club. The Champions League is just a stick to beat us with whilst maintaining his so called ambition. What other way can he mean it Paul? Are you seriously telling me you believe that Lukaku never tried yesterday? He just decided he wasn't going to bother? He was isolated because we were shit and Liverpool dominated so he's not going to see much of the ball is he. The players who were just as shite get excused because they tried?? They were more involved because they are midfielders and defenders so they will see much more of the ball than a stiker. I'm not excusing him for yesterday, he was shite but so was everyone else but to say he just never turned up or didn't bother trying then excusing others performances as just a bad day at the offive is just ridiculous. We were dreadful yesterday and that goes from 1-11 but because Haf is so desperate to jump on absolutely anything he can to pull Lukaku down he accuses him and him alone of not trying. Absolutely ludicrous claim Paul. Matt, duncanmckenzieismagic, Sibdane and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
