I just wanted to post that to alert the people who believe Lukaku is wasting chances more than other striker.

AmoryBlacq:
I only fear what would happen on this thread!

Nwoyes will always be Nwoyes. Arnautovic was the wrong man to take off. Antonio is completely useless in this game at the moment.

Moro is around the corner I will love to see you cry

How is that a good yellow? Bad belle

Squawka doesn't know what the clock is saying. How can you rely on such a website that feeds its update manually and late.

I am giving from two sources that feed live and automatically from opta as matches are played. Not even a minute late.

Linkfield:
I see a trashing of City by Man utd

Linkfield:
I'm expecting Hazard to be hot today as usual..

Two goals from him.
Bkos if he isn't on form today, Chelsea is loosing this match..

If Hazard is on form and every thing goes fine;
WHU 1-3 CHE (Hazard 2x, Morata)

But my mind is just saying Chelsea would lose
WHU 2-1 CHE (Pedro)

I'm somehow sure of the latter prediction than the former

elampiro:
You are looking at the wrong stats.

Lukaku has 7 blocks in the EPL
Kane has 7 blocks

Kane played less minutes.

Kane has 13 clearances and Lukaku 12

elampiro:
Sakho vs Manchester City
Isolated upfront
Won 3 Tackles, 1 Interceptions


That is a match he came on as substitute in 43rd minute.

Lukaku has never had an Interception in the EPL. When we told guys here that Sakho's work rate while isolated exposes Lukaku's inefficiency, they attacked us.

Chrisley024, you can see that a striker playing upfront in isolation can win Tackles and Interceptions. It takes Lukaku 3 matches to win 1 tackle, and he has never won an Interception this season.

Kane has the better record on blocks. The only person I had the time to compare with Lukaku's record per minutes. Yet he has better defensive record than Lukaku.

Lukaku is not isolated in big small games. How come Ibrahimovic (from last season) has better defensive record than Lukaku. Is it not same team?

But you mean Lukaku is no longer playing at half line with defensive duties but isolated upfront? What is defensive duties if it is to just stay at half line?

From what we see now, Lukaku is the one making Mkhitaryan poor.

elampiro:
Since beginning of the season, Lukaku has not made one single Interception.

On defensive stats, all Arsenal and City players beat Lukaku.

elampiro:
All Liverpool players have higher defensive stats than Lukaku, except Salah. Lukaku beat Salah slightly on tackle while Salah beat him on Interception

Firmino has defensive stats of a defender. Very high

elampiro:
Lukaku has fallen short in all aspects. He cannot play, he has weak pass accuracy in opposition's half, he misses penalties and has not been scoring recently.

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.

elampiro:
Joselu played against Liverpool at half line as lead striker, and scored. Newcastle 1 Liverpool 1

Scott played against Liverpool at half line as lead striker against Liverpool and scored. I think that match also ended 1-1

Murray played against us at Old Trafford at half line and scored.

But people say Lukaku didn’t score because he played at half line against Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham. When has playing at half line being a license not to score?

It is as simple as that bro. ...

These people just have this personal hatred towards the nigga... I was at the viewing center with a barca fan yday.. He said he didn't see why people blame lukaku. That he isn't useless even when he is not scoring .. As he sees his paces and well precised forward passes.. He could do it with his head and legs.

I was surprised to hear this from another team fan seriously .. And some panke fans will be saying he was woefully performing before that stunner goal.

Since I joined this thread, I have never insulted anyone first. Most times, I don't even return insult the first time. It is when the person keeps thinking I am a fool that I finally fire back.

Also some would use my tribe to insult me. They would say this Benin/Edo/Isha man. Elampiro watches football from his calabash, meaning Edo people are fetish. I just over look.

The worst is the fact that new monikers I don't know are the ones insulting me. I could take some shits from old timers.

elampiro:
You have said Rashford final pass needs improvement, and no one argues with you.

But when some say Lukaku needs to improve on his hold up play, his link up play, etc then wahala don start. You tag them enemy of Lukaku. So we should also say you guys have an agenda against Rashford for stating he needs to improve in his final balls?

elampiro:
His rating went up because his team won and he scored. But one site rightly put it that he scored after he struggled on the night. Another website (not given here) highlighted his shortcomings in the match like his delay with Pogba's pass and the miss from close range.
