Lukaku needs a sniff to bring him to life. Too busy waiting for it on a plate.

Scrappy match so far. No real chances or pressure other than a near chance for Davies and a messy desicion in our area for them. Nice crisp passing when we're not under pressure though.

Barkleys confidence is high. Passing is excellent and fast so far.

Seems he is proving a lot of us wrong. The way he has turned Ross and Rom around recently is very commendable. And his handling the the young lads seems to be working to.

He is gaining some consistency recently, yes against Stoke he had an off day. But his performance levels have been rising, even without scoring. His personality is starting to come through, and that's a good thing.

Here we go .... another Ro!

Nothing wrong with the thread though. People arguing shouldn't derail a good thread.

You all missed Tom "Ronald" Davies!

That videos made me feel the same as when I watched George green the first time. Hope he lives up to it this time. Looks exciting.

No point in having him and Barkley in the same team. And I think Barkley is better.

Great news, just great news.

Me neither. We need to be looking for someone to compliment Lukaku, and give him a rest when needed. I don't think Niasse is a destroyer haha.

Damn that got me hyped up.

Could be good to hear those comments from another manager. Agree with MC, the manager thinks he WILL do better.... hope he does.

Sorry I meant.... Rubbish, he is a wife beater!

Rubbish... he is a world beater.

But Hull aren't a lower tier side. And you do know he came on as a substitute for Hull don't you? And for their main striker...not to support him. I do agree a forward should be able to do more than score goals... was just being naughty and pointing out that many argue that as long as a striker scores....then that's his job. And the fact remains that he has a better stroke rate than Rom haha. But I do agree. I do t think he is good enough for us. But I don't think he is anywhere near as bad as people have made out. Let's face it , people are still prepared to pay for him.

So am I, I just acted up in front of the bigger guys so I didn't look a baby haha

It arguing that. Just surprised a young 19 year old would ask to come off for it that's all. I played regularly for 30 years and had cramp numerous occasions. Usually the opposition goally would help me put it right. I wasn't professional though so I would have been too embarrassed to ask to go off with cramp haha Imagine sitting in the pub after with a bunch of Sunday league hard nuts haha!

The standard deviation suggests luck rather than a measured approach maybe? But I would rather us take those risks than become a squad of average players.

Keep it up Rom. The worlds yours if you just take it.

So a striker that can't cross for toffee? To who? Lukaku couldn't save a shot for toffee, useless .... I know what you mean though, same as our forums. Pretty much 50/50 on the Hull forums. Some wrote him off due to reading our thoughts on him, some judging him on what they have witnessed so far. Well only know after 6 months. He might be trying so hard that it's working for him. His ability will come through or he will be found out...again haha.

It's the fact that he asks to come off for cramp. That worries me.

Wenger isn't the problem. Aresnals ambition is.

Hasn't the argument always been that a goal scorers job is to score goals? His record so far for Hull is better than Roms haha. Early days I know, more in jest.
