Remember when people were abused for thinking Lukaku was a bad signing

Obvious point but I’d like to think our coaching staff are working on his hold up play with him. Improving with his back to goal would make such a difference given how no existent that facet of his game currently is, which obviously hurts us a lot more against the better sides.

I know, our attacking players have played like complete strangers since probably Rooney and Welbz went through a phase

I thought his hold up play was much improved early in the season, it seems to dropped off with his confidence as the goals have dried up. Biggest contribution to his confidence drop could have been Mourinho taking the PK off him . Had his header against Spurs gone in & not hit the post I doubt this thread would have any legs. Don't get the hate for him given the start he has made

Mostly because the manager has been stirring the shit pot and getting it into peoples heads?

The post flattered that attempt.

I don't dislike him.

Didn’t do the big fella any favours making a meal out of nothing.

Not the most elegant of players but the service he’s had recently has been £#%&!ing appalling to non existent.

100% , he's not a striker that will pick the ball up in our end and and do 11 men on his own. oddly his goals dried up just as midfield was surrendered hmm. and as far as holding it up , holding it up for whom? for miki to give it away?

Wasn't the manager just following his long standing policy on penalties?

Doubt if Lukaku's such a fragile flower that he would let that bother him so much tbh.

Scored again.

Pure would have still been running to get out of his own half.

I thought being your countries leading scorer was meaningless?
