Lovely. Another centre half who can't defend.

He did actually I liked him, mad £#%&!er. A bit shit but he wasn't here long enough to be much of a problem. 14 man of the match awards aside.

TBF, Kane wouldn't have scored his goals playing for West Brom and Everton or if we're being honest playing up front on his own for a side as pedestrian going forward as us this season.

Ah does it? Not been on in a while. Thought it just gave totals per club etc, so for Big Rom some manual addition would have been required. Great stuff, thanks again pal

Quite good team goal.

Bombshell stat just in: Rom has nine league goals in the last seven months. Don't get the hate though.
Why only the last seven months?

Season starts in August, doesn't it?

We can't count the bit when he was scoring frequently, though.

Exactly.

Did you know, between the games where he scores and when he doesn't, he has NO goals. Useless.

Not sure if serious post?

Yeah, those seven months apart he’s been prolific.

I mean you might aswell include the whole season, but that wouldn't fit your agenda would it.

What's all this league goals stuff too. We not counting champions league and an FA Cup that adorns your avatars?

If you don't think 28 is good enough, fair enough, but deliberately selecting months of the season tells you less than the whole story and is somewhat disingenuous.

there's no 'agenda' ..it's just that some of us haven't had our standards & expectations dragged into the gutter post-Fergie.

Lukaku is absolutely fine if we want to keep celebrating '2nd place' , he isn't however anywhere near good enough if we want to be playing in CL semi finals again instead of moaning about Liverpool being in them.

I think he can be good enough tbh, Already improved his game this season (IMO) and that's with some shocking service too.

the things lacking from his game though are the 'natural footballer' things.
The things that make you turn & look at the person sitting next to you with a knowing look as if to say "yep, he's something £#%&!ing special"

Lukaku is a trier, a hard worker, a reasonably effective target man and will score twenty plus most seasons, but he won't make the difference in big games - Liverpool recently, the derby, Cup SF etc... all passed him by without finding the net.

I don't dislike the guy at all, I just reckon he's at least one level below what we need.

We've got to stop this dreadful misuse of the term agenda, when it's just someone having an opinion on things.

He started brilliantly, and has been a lot less reliable for most of the season. The best way to illustrate that is him scoring seven goals in the first six weeks, and then just nine goals in the following seven months. I mean that really does back up the argument imo.
