what is the essence of scoring ten goals against teams like Hull city, Sunderland and disappeared in a more decisive games or in the next three games
Ask yourself this question, how many big teams Lukaku scored against this season? None except Man city
Numbers of goal(s) do(es) not equal to numbers of points, Barca, Roma and Totteham score than the winner of their respective leagues, also Aubemayang of Dotmond, Edin Dzeco of Roma, Cavani of Psg, Messi of Barca and Harry Kane of Totteham score many goals in their team yet they didn't win the league
Diego Costa score some decisive goals for us this season, you know a 1:0 win in three games will give u 9 points while Lukaku 9 goals in one game will give Everton 3 points, and what is the essense of scoring four goals against small team and disappeared in the next three games
The koko be say, we don't want him

In other words, Diego Costa is better than Messi...

How many left-foot strikers do you know that are crap? All I know is most left footers are very good at striking the ball from Rivaldo to Raul to Vieiri to Di-Stefano to Johan Cruyff to Puskas to George Hagi to Van Persie even to Amuneke and Patrick Mboma. A left footer finds it very easy to take opposition defenders by surprise because their brain is wired to go in the direction of a right footer 90% of the time.

I can only speak for myself, but in my uni days and youth amateur career, this left foot got me some golden boots.

Correct guy. Dribbling is the cornerstone of amateur football though because most amateur players don't know how to pass quickly and use passing to hurt opponents, so dribbling remains the biggest weapon for an amateur footballer. It's only at pro-level that dribbling starts to become redundant, so don't lose your dribbling skills.

I Still have that. Thanks for the tips, though I play football for fun.

Bros cool down for Jesus nau. Lukaku also scored at Tottenham. The hyperbole wey full your post ol boy I don't even know where to start

Unless you expect Everton to win the league then all these examples I am not really understanding. Take away Lukaku's goals and Everton might go from Europa League to square dancing with relegation.

Dribbling is useless when there is no creativity in it. E.g, Zaha. Hazard is creative with his dribbling this is why a legend like Zidane rate him high. In France, he won best player, he did same in epl. He was once top 5 best footballer in the world. You mean to tell me this people recognizing him individually don't know football or should we take ibime words as gospel truth how football is supposed to be played or they don't see Zaha who is same level with Hazard according you.

When was Hidden Hazard top 5 in the world?

Under what rules would they be playing in? That is the key for me. If its today's rules Golden State wins. If its those days when u fit handcheck and physicality was high I'd go with the Bulls

Fair enough. For me though under the old rules DEFINITELY Bulls but under today's rules MAYBE Golden State. One team has MJ and 3 all time defenders who could each guard multiple positions. Interesting matchups though: MJ on Curry, Harper on Klay, Scottie on KD, The Worm on Draymond.

I think the lack of 3pt shooting and Golden State ball movement go give Bulls some problems. If na last year Golden State the Bulls would win easily. This year the addition of Kevin Durant don scatter everything. He is Karl Malone 2.0

Yeah KD is an unbelievable asset. But Rodman and Pippen would slow him down a little, one takes him on the perimeter and the other in the post.
The 3 points would be an issue though but they arent getting those high percentages against the ball hawks on the Bulls.
It is a fun debate to have .

Na wa o. Ibime, You be jack of all trade and almost master of all.

Well, I wasn't talking about lefte-footers' accuracy with their strong foot(left foot). I was worried that their right foot is almost useless. Whenever the ball fall to their right, they tend to keep turning and turning in order to be comfortable enough to shoot with their left. This gives defenders the opportunity to cover up.

Like Afrodoc pointed out.. right-footers are more blanced.

This is probable. However the Bulls would have to up their 3pt shooting significantly. Pippen was a low 40's guy from the field and he could barely make buckets from mid-range. Its fun to argue theoretically but its tough to tell. That is why I feel the rules they play under would be key

Who was Everton's 2nd best scorer? How many goals did he get in the league. At least that would indicate the veracity of your claim

Yeah. Talentwise it is pitting possibly the best defensive team against the best offensive team. X-factor is MJ, with today's rules he would probably average 40 in a do or die series.........and not break a sweat.
But you have a point about the Bull's improving their 3pt shooting.

Rodman might slow him down a bit but forget it No one can Guard KD. Dude is pretty much a guard in a centre's body. Phenomenal player. I'm with A40 on this though. It depends on the rules they'll play under.

Another match up i'd like to see is this year's Golden state and the 1986 celtics.

I did not say they will hold him to ZERO nah. Same as KD is unusual for anybody to guard, you have to realize he too has never come against that amount of defensive talent before in his life. They will slow him down is what i said, make him work for his points and make him less efficient.
I actually agree somewhat with A40. I just believe old rules Bulls win easily and Warriors get no shot but with the new rules Warriors win but the Bulls still have a slim shot.

A40:

Ross barkley 5 goals.. but guess what , Everton would have forfeited nine points without Lukaku’s goals, and they are currently a whopping 15 points clear of eighth placed Southampton, Guy A60 tell us something else.

I just dey look these names dey remember my childhood in the 90s, vexing my older brothers on Saturday mornings watching Bball on NTA2.

E con dey pepper me now as e dey do me back then .

I just dunno why, but I can't stand B-ball.

86 Celtics had a bit more balanced offensive firepower compared to the Bulls but they are front court heavy and not defensively versatile or athletic enough.
The Warriors would isolate and run The Chief and Kevin McHale ragged i think.

You dey miss. I love bball almost as much as i love football and i played it better. i still watch hours of clips on my free time. And you possibly the best sportsman Naija ever produced was a basketballer.....i think that was what got me into it.

So you sef follow A40 dey go ball for Lere environs...

Only the rich kids played B-ball when I was at school sha. They go con dey rock head band, and1 vest and shorts and those ugly huge apola trainers like Nike shox.

Even the balls were prohibitively expensive those days.

Fair enough. True the Bulls would present a different challenge to what He is currently facing right now. However the effectiveness of such scheme would largely depend on the era. For example using physicality as a way to stop KD in this era won't cut it. You'll just keep sending the fella to the free throw and we all know How good He is from that spot.

I totally agree with your last paragraph.

For boarding e no matter. we all dey equal and if you show the potential your house go groom you for inter-house games AND plenty ball dey PE dept if rich boys dey misbehave.
Their only advantage be say as owner of ball dey go everly dey first set......after that OYO. You win to stay in the game.

The DREAM..... One of my sporting idols growing up and my Favourite Bball player of all time(Zeke is right after Him). I had Hakeem's Jersey from the ages of I think 4 right up until my teen years. Also Not only have I seen Him play live, also had the pleasure of meeting Him once. Great down to earth fella and yh quite Tall
