Chelsea 9-0 Stoke in both games this season ffs
Awful, has no awareness at allMaguire is a terrible CB. Really thick player
This is one way of looking at it.Salah is such a greedy ball hog at times, Mane’s goal tally has decreased because of him
Yep. Low center of gravity helps to hold your spot of earth, and the leverage advantage helps you dislodge a taller person off theirs.No I disagree completely. He shouldn't be able to hold off players in "that manner" because the reason Salah can do it is his height. Do you think it's pure coincidence that the best players at dribbling and holding off defenders are small? Hazard, Sanchez, Messi, for example. You just can't compare Lukaku to him in that regard.
My point was simply that watching Salah and bemoaning why Lukaku can't shrug off and turn defenders like he does is silly, due to their height difference and center of gravity difference.True, not sure even Salah scores many like he did today. By the way, Ibra at his prime was also very strong and powerful.
Just like Cristiano right?He's excellent with a sight of goal, seen no evidence he's unplayable when in general possession.
Shows how quickly things can turn in football. Silva's stock has fallen.Wow Watford have really fallen off a cliff.
You just don't take them off at Anfield, brainless decision.Just how stupid those Vardy/Mahrez subs turned out?
I'm loving every minute even when it's Chelsea hammering them. ScumStoke are a disgrace.
Injuries and suspension have killed them to be fair.Shows how quickly things can turn in football. Silva's stock has fallen.
Looking forward to see things turning for CityShows how quickly things can turn in football. Silva's stock has fallen.
Damn.. I wish I were FrenchShould count himself lucky he is English, he would be playing for Dijon making £20k a week if he was French.
Wasn't there a video of Lukaku when we signed him where he did almost exactly that move? Showing how he would hold off defenders turn quickly and fire a shot on goal? Also he doesn't even need to do this, just do a lay off or just anything but his ball control actually sucks too much to do this, when ever he tries to control the ball it jumps at least half a meter off him and any chance to either turn or pass is gone.Maybe, but it's unrelated, that's my point. It's totally unfair to use Salah as a comparison. Find someone the same size of him who can do what Salah did today and then get back to me!
20k\week is basically being on welfare in the football world.Damn.. I wish I were French
I don't know, but I find it quite sad that our supporters use a totally different style of player doing well to moan about Lukaku.Wasn't there a video of Lukaku when we signed him where he did almost exactly that move?

Imo that manes either he is unsuited for the way we use him or we simply need to use him in a different manner.
Why doesn't he fix them too, like Firmino.Klopp must be doing meth, the way he grinds his teeth is a total giveaway.
He's scored one less this season compared to the same stage last season, having played 3 fewer games.Salah is such a greedy ball hog at times, Mane’s goal tally has decreased because of him
I can't agree or disagree really. Never watched that many players closely. Cristiano is not small but is one of the best dribblers I have seen, Henry was awesome at dribbling too. As for holding off challenges, while Lukaku is not good at it, Fellaini is very good and the guy is huge. I am sure Lukaku can improve those skills. Coaches and physios would know better though.My point was simply that watching Salah and bemoaning why Lukaku can't shrug off and turn defenders like he does is silly, due to their height difference and center of gravity difference.
I thought it was common knowledge that smaller players are better at holding off challenges and dribbling through players but seemingly not?
Agreed, as a foreigner it takes some fecking doing to have the worst teeth in Liverpool.Why doesn't he fix them too, like Firmino.
I made him captain in my dream team. Apologies.Morata is a bit of a poor finisher at times. Should’ve had a couple I swear.

He isn't carrying us though but I get your point.Yeah but he's head and shoulders above the rest this year, mane and coutinho patchy and interrupted seasons, firmino doing well but salah is having one of those seasons
Imo some of Lukaku's best play has actually come when he played a bit deeper or even drifted wide. Interestingly enough the lad can actually cross a ball, maybe we simply need to stop using him as a target man if that's not his style of play.I don't know, but I find it quite sad that our supporters use a totally different style of player doing well to moan about Lukaku.
