It is very hard for a striker to score when team park the bus against you, because two defenders take care of the striker. Also look at it from that angle, that a player like Aguero is always playing against a 'parked bus'

Its easier to score when your team is attacking and you are inside the box, that is why City has the highest number of goals in the league

In the opponent box, if 2 people are on Ageuro, 2 people on Jesus, 2 people on STerling, 2 people on Sane, 2 people on SIlva, is it that the opponent is playing with 20 players

I just decided not to drag this further but it's like it's dragging itself. At a point Ihenacho had a better goal/minute ratio for city but nobody can claim he is/was better than Aguero. Lukaku needs to improve and so does the team.

The initial argument here was that Lukaku was not doing anything for the team and should be benched for lord Ibra lol. When we compared his number of goals with other strikers, he wasn't doing bad. Assists too dey kampe but he isn't doing anything. We score 4 goals but they want us to believe we could have played a short one and still get same result. Na so. There's a Firmino which is the striker for Liverpool but they want to compare Lukaku with Salah like we just knowing that dribbling is not his strong points. His key pass percentage is as high as other strikers but no he is not doing anything. Our attack have been very horrible but Lukaku is the cause. The goal he scored against CSKA was another awoof like others. It's well o.

I don't expect him to have a good game against City unless others step up so begin to write the epistles down o

*goes back into shadows *

"Zlatan is available. Jones is available. Fellaini I have to wait until tomorrow. Bailly is not available. Carrick is not available. Matic is injured but he plays," Mourinho said.

No doubt Matic is going to have a very busy day on Sunday. Considering the fact that he's playing through injury, I think Mou should give him some games off after Sunday (or Wednesday) so he can recover. Body no be firewood.

I pray Fellaini is available. He could wreak great havoc inside City's box.

Heck, if Fellaini plays Mourinho will just bypass the whole midfield and tell the players to fight for the second ball then knock from there. City is weak aerially. If we're going to win, we have to attack them in the air.

Elampiro be manufacturing criterion in his head

Look at the stat he posted vs Lukaku If I wanted to argue I'll use that to bury him in my own terms

You cannot.

lekkie073:
u r a joke of an analyst... So d 'B' alone is enuf for u to mistake Burnley for Brighton.

When you are multitasking, you could make mistakes in your social media posts. I posted those stuff in a hurry, but those who knew the players knew the club they represent.

elrony:


Epa you don dey yan like who need deliverance o

So Glenn Murray with 5 goals is now better than Lukaku with more goals n assists? It is finished

I swear down, you're just vulcanizing your "I am right" complex.

Goals are measured per minutes.


This is why some of you no know ball. Common sense says if Murray played the same number matches (game time) as Lukaku, he wood score more.

Murray also scored in a big game playing at half line. But Lukaku, na so so story.

raumdeuter:


You havent done what I asked,

Bring any top striker of a big club and lets compare him to Lukaku
Take a game this striker has played and lukaku has also played e.g Say Aguero has played Team A away and Lukaku has played Team A away
Let us compare the heat maps and let the people on here decide

You see the part in bold, Going to pick one random Brighton or Burnley striker wont cut it, Bring a striker from a top team and a gem where he has played the same opposition in the same location like Lukaku

What I have done so far is to show you that playing at half line against a better opposition while your team play defensive, does not prevent goal scoring.

If strikers of smaller teams can do with, why should it be an excuse for Lukaku.

Take Kane for instance, let Tottenham park the bus against Madrid, he will still score.

It is not disputable. But Lukaku (in recent form) has refused to deliver when we attack against small teams, and when we depend against big teams.

Stats in the hands of elampiro na real wahala

Stats are facts.

If those stats favoured Lukaku, you guys would have applauded.

They said Lukaku is not doing badly in terms of goals. I brought stats to show he is far behind other strikers who have less minutes, like Kane.

Then they said he is doing well compared to many others. I brought stats on goals per 90 minutes. Lukaku is number 30

They said because he played at half line, I brought stats about smaller strikers who play at half against big teams and score.

They shifted to he defence. I wonder when defence has been the duty of a striker. Again, a rough look at matches show he doesn’t depend, except clearances which even Ibrahimovic did better for us last season.

Lastly, it has been revealed that Lukaku can only have high pass accuracy in his own half when compared to other strikers. Any wonder the likes of Mkhitaryan have been poor? Their front man cannot play fluently with them.

Majority doesn't mean truth.

Lukaku is a great striker and has done what others didn't do at 24. Fact

He started the season well. Fact.

I thought Lukaku would by now have at least 12 goals. Truth

But sometimes goals don't go as plan. Truth.

Then so of us even saw some things wrong with his game. Truth

Some of you other guys say, Lukaku is a sacred cow, no one says any negative about him. Argument began.

In the arguments facts have come to the fore. No stats is going well for Lukaku. Fact.

Uncle intelligentsia, tell us how "Murray beats Lukaku hands down".

Lukaku in EPL:
15 games
8 goals
4 assists
16 Chances created
12 Key passes


Murray in EPL
13 games
5 goals
0 Assists
3 chances created
3 key passes


Please don't bring your Tuwo Chinkafa punditry here, stay on the discourse (I'm allergic to pounded Rice)

1. Aguero missed more Clear cut chances than Iheanacho. But we know Aguero is the better player and striker. Same way, Aguero may have missed more Clear cut chances than Lukaku, but Aguero is still the better player and striker.

2. On the initial argument. I never for once said Lukaku should be benched. I don't know where or when that argument took place. All I said it that he was not doing other things well to help the team (like hold up play), even goals scoring aside.

3. No matter what you say, a striker that starts counting defensive contribution, high pass accuracy in his own half as his best qualities, is close to ruin. I didn't even see the defensive contribution sef.

Someone with low pass accuracy in opposition half is a weak link to his co-attacking team mates.

Baba who told you we don't criticise Lukaku here?
Who told you Lukaku is a sacred cow here?

I don't know if you've been reading the epistles you keep on a spamming the thread, your criticisms were out of place bros.
If you laid criticism on the fact that he hasn't been scoring when you began, I believe no one will even argue that with you. Not saying he was woeful in a match his contributions were even clear for the blind to see..

And you were persistently overdoing it in absurd manners, especially with the Sakho and Gayle comparisons.. bros sometimes you no dey try .
