Matt Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Easy. Lukaku. but honestly at half time, I was seriously struggling to choose between 7 players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherpa Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Great team performance from font to back, Lukaku will get the plaudits for his two goals and deservedly so but well done to Kone who was a brilliant foil for Rom today.

markjazzbassist Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Barkley. Could have also given it to Kone, Lukaku or Jags as well. Great match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith B Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Lukaku for me. Barkley deserving too but I thought Lukaku just slightly ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Lukaku - but both Barkley and Kone deserve a mention. And let's not forget the great job done by the defence, with Galloway growing in confidence. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Lukaku as he set the tone to the match. First five minutes the team knew he was ON IT. I think that gave the team confidence to play off him. Players are more ready to commit going forward if they know rom will hold it up.

Hafnia Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I am tempted to give it to lukaku as I'm so tough on him - I know paddock is tough on Barkley and he's given him the nod and that's fair do's So my plan is watch it tonight on the sky extended highlights and sink a few then I'll vote. I watched 5 minutes and I've got to say cleverley caught my eye. He's a Duracell bunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 It was between Rom, Kone and Barkley for me but I went with Lukaku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 A toss up between Lukaku and Barkley but went with Rom just seemed to justify what we know he does have and can do the same goes for Ross As others have said there's a fair few that deserve a mention today all round a great performance Cracking result!!

Shukes Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Going to go with Lukaku. Two goals and two very important parts in goals too. The few minutes before Barkleys goal when Rom battled and grabbed the ball back, then held onto it with brute strength kept the pressure on then which allowed us to open them up for Ross. Roms second goal was also due to him bullying and stealing the ball in the middle before passing it on to Ross who on turn slid it back. Will be surprised if you see a better performance from a single player this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Ross should have scored two today, but hey, we can let him off , they all did well today, they thrived on the more positive approach, can we please do it again next week. Rom putting himself about today and two great goals, so it goes to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Went with Barkley, looked his old self. But everyone played great today Haf, it won't be on Sky's highlights will it, it was a BT game so I'm sure they don't put it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Lukaku all day long. Unplayable today and to be fair I've never seen him play so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Could give it to half a dozen players, Lukaku just shaded it because of his goals, but Kone when he gets more match Fitness and stays injury free, looks like he can become a very good player.

c1982 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Toss up between Barkley and Lukaku for me. I think Stones did an excellent job as Pelle is a monster but hardly got a sniff. Coleman's mistakes were a little concerning but all in all a pretty perfect away performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Given it to Rom. Take that energy and drive into the next game Rom! Just watching goals on sunday and John carver supporting the board. Irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Big man up top..that run in the 5th minute was him setting his stall out..He wanted it..I just hope he wants it all season cos he will be unplayable if it clicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Big man up top..that run in the 5th minute was him setting his stall out..He wanted it..I just hope he wants it all season cos he will be unplayable if it clicks He might want it Marco, but for him to do it, it will probably need Martinez.What I mean is he probably wanted it against Watford but how we played didn't best suit his style, even at home on the first day of the season the build up was slower, we passed it across the park too much, also Lukaku was again a lone striker, things improved when Kone came on. If he gets more freedom (product of a partner), better service, whilst the team is more dangerous (product of faster more direct play), then, I think he could well be unplayable. Get the crosses right (Kones was a beaut ), get the through balls right (the one for his second goal was excellent). When suddenly opponents are on panic stations with a flying Lukaku, there's going to be more room for Kone, Barkley, Gerry, Mirallas etc...... Back to Martinez, he can't just get us charging at every team we play, sometimes playing across the pitch is the right move, but will will get more out of Lukaku and win more games playing like we did against Southampton than we did against Watford and how we played last season in games such as the home fixture with Hull etc. I think it's what the fans have been saying for months.

smeghead1 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Lukaku was unplayable yesterday hope he can keep that level of performance up. Infact if the whole team continues to play like that were in for a really good season. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Teams like Watford won't let us play like that. They are happy for us to have the ball. Southampton want to ball, then leave spaces for us to exploit. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 though Lukaku was awesome I though Ross just shaded it for me, powerful runs, great vision and great goal even though he should have had two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
