I just think the hype around him since he was 18 is ridiculous. He's a better player now but he's at the level he should have been when he was 24 not 28/29. This is his absolute peak and is he works class? No. Before people start pissing their pants, let's be clear about world class. Scoring X goals in X games or X goals before his 21st birthday which put him above Messi etc was just nonsense. He had a big money move to man United and blew it, he's had cup final and semi final appearances and consistently shit the bed. His record against top sides is crap. The giddiness around him cos he once played for us is just weird, the fucker couldn't wait to fuck off. Maybe one or two people managed to get his attention on the last time he wore an Everton shirt..... Doing the lap of appreciation and not bothering to wave cos he was on the phone sending messages to Chelsea players. SMH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as a striker no. But he will surpass him as an aerial threat, hard work and hold up play. Very different players at the top of their respective playing styles.

Very different players at the top of their respective playing styles. I think people overstate his (current) hold up play tbh - the ball will often bounce right off him to the opposition and is something he needs to work on along with his 1v1’s. The other two qualities definitely though, and they’re already superb. Sibdane and dunlopp9987 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two qualities definitely though, and they’re already superb. That first part exactly. I didn't watch much of any of Lukaku last season, but his hold up play today was immense. Ball stuck to his feet and he was able to quickly distribute. More often than not when the ball is played in to Dom's feet, it bounces 2 or 3 yards away Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I was impressed with some of his link up play at the weekend. He probably should have scored two but he should have also had a couple of assists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hold up play is just fantastic, he's a leader on the pitch, clinical finisher, pace and power. Not to mention I'm over the moon as I was the one to snap him up in our league Loved the time he got to spend with us, too. Lucky to have seen him play at Goodison in my only visit there. Did you watch him yesterday? That's exactly why he is overrated. Bullied by vvd and matip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Just saw that he'd scored his 65th goal for Belgium tonight, in his 99th game which gives him a goal every 1.52 games. Christiano Ronaldo broke the international goalscoring record last night with his 111th goal in his 180th game, a goal every 1.62 games. Another observation is that Ronaldo is actually in 19th place overall if you go on goals per game (of players who've scored 50 or more). Rom 17th.

The whole sites been pretty quiet of late, I’m equally to blame so much going on in my little world at the moment. We could do with Rom at this moment in time Rondon hasn’t shown anything to make me think he’s the player we saw a couple of years ago.
