i heard the game on the radio yesterday and watched the first half last night before bed. again, i am a novice at watching football but i thought in the first half, lukaku played decently. he maintained possession - had a good touch on some passes and his mere presence opened it up for others. he was fighting defenders off the ball and controlled it for the most part. again, this was just what i observed in the first half. and he was instrumental in the sheamus goal.
a buddy of mine said we should hope lukaku becomes the best of the 2nd tier scorers but not get too good to get to the first tier b/c then a big club will come along and take him away.
i am very happy with the result but again, we get sloppy at times and we can't play with a lead so far. we fall back and just don't stay aggressive. but again, this team is very exciting to watch.
eto'o is the best bench player i've seen so far this season. if it's close in the final 30 mins, bring him on and watch him make everyone better and scare the living crap outta the other team. i would love to see him play with mirallas and lukaku.
