It's not over yet, just remember Jose ALWAYS wins the title in his second season, or is that another record that's going to be broken ?

The problem with Lukaku is he's not good enough to play for a team who aspire to be at the top of world football, and he never will be.

His goalscoring record for Everton was incredible, a 0.5 goals per game at a club that bad is brilliant, but the best strikers do more than just finish chances, and he showed time after time his hold up play was poor, he's not got a creative bone in his body, and his touch isn't good enough to play with creative players in and around the box.

Making him a scapegoat won't help them or him, but the sad truth for them is they spent £100m on player who will never fit into a top side, and now they have to soldier on building the team around someone who'll do nothing but finish big, clear cut chances you create for him.

The redcafe postmortem has circled back to Morata vs. Lukaku again and the debate is embarrassing. Morata is several levels above Lukaku at everything.

I was going to do a big post-mortem on them both but got bored, so I will say,
Morata- giroud
Lukaku- benteke

3 minutes in bloke loses it and goes right off. Brilliant. :)

Usually rants like that are even funnier if you do them in a Cartman voice.

That guy three minutes in was perfect just as he was

Think Andy Gray's and John Barne's reactions belong here:

So Jesus' was a dive and Herrera should have had a penalty... ok then not biased at all.

Good post.

I suppose until he is tried at the highest level his capability is not known, the art is to find a player who can improve like Pep has done or buy the finished article (which he obviously is not)
Says a lot about those who bought him rather than the player himself. Same with any team I suppose including City but having a punt on Lukaku at near 100 K was a buying mistake, their original offer around 50 K made more sense but they blew Chelsea out of the race and started the new price escalation.

Having said that we have our failures eg Bravo and others but look at what Pep has done with many of our players, he has improved most and changed them all into team players.

A very thin John Collins i think.
