I don't think so.

The first one was on his weak foot, with a defender right in front of him, went off the inside of the post and across the goal.

The second one was a bad header but it wouldn't have stood as the ball has gone out of play.

To be fair, whether a miss is bad or not is independent of whether it would have stood had it gone in.

Finally he brings on Doku. His pace is frightening.

Should have played every game.

 

[Keeper!]

No : )
I’m going off their performances as a whole
A lazy shit unorganised team.

He was MIA first half, second half is looking more like it

To be fair, whether a miss is bad or not is independent of whether it would have stood had it gone in.

The headed attempt would have been ruled out.

At work, so not watching. Were the misses from Lukaku as bad as has been made out?

He was underneath the 2nd one so was hard for him to direct the header. Plus it was out of play.

First one, he had a defender in front of him and was on his weaker foot so he had to whip it round him but it hit the post.

For the second, the cross was out anyway. Not sure he realised he was going to get the header so wasn’t set.

I actually think the Belgium squad want to come home. There is zero urgency in that team to score a goal, there's serious issues all over the pitch.
Come home Kev even though you've been as shit as the rest of them, we need you back

 

[SamBlue]

I feel sorry for Lukaku, he came back from injury and couldn't dislodge ancient Edin from Inter side, Belgium has been mostly about the connection between him and Kev.

 

[SebastianBlue]

The headed attempt would have been ruled out.

I know, I was making the point that judging whether the miss was "bad" or "good" is completely independent of whether it would have been a goal had it gone in.

Yeah the 2nd one is bad, I just think it matters less when it wouldn't have stood.
