What does Lukaku have that makes him so special, really? Yes, he scored a good number of goals, but he's in a position to score them. I'd think most any player would score more goals as a lone striker than he would in another position.
But I'm constantly baffled at how clumsy he looks with the ball, most of the time. (When it's not a single tap from a cross, or "the goal" against Chelsea.) His passes are often wayward, and he gets dispossessed seemingly all the time.
Anyway, I know it's not an "easy" role. (Look at how much more competent he appears than Kone and Niasse.)
I thought Benteke could have been a good replacement, but for his horrid play since he moved to LFC.
