He's had a very good world cup but all his good contributions came on the counter attack when he had space to operate in
Against France when space was at a premium due to how compact and defensive France where he was completely ineffective We have bigger problems to sort out than Lukaku up top |

Kane was put straight through by Lingard with Subasic to beat from 6 yards and couldn't put it in, then when he got the rebound still managed to miss from less than a yard and people are floating the idea he had an injury and bad service. For one game in Russia, Glenn Hoddle was praising him for being fouled well. Does Kane look better for a Spurs team built around him yes, but Lukaku was the better finisher in Russia, maybe if United could get him the ball on the shoulder of the last defender like Belgium do rather than dawdling up the pitch until the defence is set he'd score more. |

I reckon Kane and Lukaku are definitely up there as 2 of the best at their job, but Kane has had a dreadful world cup all round and Lukaku started out brilliant but fizzled out badly. His first touch has been much better lately, I wonder if today was all about fatigue.
Going off overall performance Lukaku was probably the best striker at the WC, Cavani had one good game. Kanes got the golden boot but it's gotta be the worst winner of it ever. Penalties, a couple tap ins and a deflection. His hold up play has been shite, his runs have been shite, link up play shite. TBF he's been playing in the no.10 role a lot. Kane is usually the much more rounded and consistent player but he's prone to a spurs style slump and Lukaku is always improving. I expect he will close the gap if not overtake him eventually. |

Im sure he will score a bagful next season. If he doesnt but plays like he has done in the last 6 months(much more of a teamplayer and contributor to team play) then thats also good. If he does both then there really will be nothing for the haters to say. |

Not many (if any) strikers in world football that we'd have a Fred consensus on. Some serious fredsters wanted Morata ahead of Lukaku and look what happened there.
Benzema has a creditable 1 in 2 for Madrid and we'd be tearing our hair out with him. The arse seeing on here if Kane played for us and had that world cup etc Lukaku is young and hit 30 in his first season. I remember when players used to be given a year to settle in but that doesn't seem to happen anymore. Hes got his faults but his mentality is as tough as anyone at the club and he'll improve imho. And that's after a stellar first season. Not sure of the details over the cup final but willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He'll be captain soon. Would like more players with his mentality, if not his first touch. |
