He certainly improves if he doesn't has to stand around and wait for crosses.

Great stuff from him today and not a single play among it involving a hoofball or cross header.
He played better and the team played better. Also the team played better and he played better.

That last minute run was huge. Where did he get that speed from.

Shit first half
Great MOTM 2nd half performance.

He was brilliant today after a horrible start. The only real difference was his desire, hopefully he pushes on from here but consistency of this sort may yet be some distance away.

Well done big Rom, you aced it today

Delighted for him. Stick that chest out, Rom. This is where you're supposed to be.

Hiding? He's scored 22 goals and has 7 assists already this season @BigCaine, if he's hiding he should be crowned World's Shittest Hide and Seek player.
Given the fact he spent much of Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Liverpool games earlier in the defense's pocket i would disagree. My point was only about his big game rubbish performances not his other games.

Also showed today that it's not an excuse in previous to games to just say stuff like he couldn't do anything with the hoofs. He did loads with the long balls into him today - specifically because they stuck to him and he used his body properly to outmuscle defenders, and he made the right movements and got away from his marker instead of waiting for it too much. Great to see.

Also those saying hope it's a turn around have forgotten that he has had a role in the last few goals we have scored this season.

4 in the fa cup, 3 in the league with 2 assists. That's 9 goals he has been involved in 2018 itself.

Great game, one of his best this year I'd say considering the opposition, hold the ball pretty well and end up with 1+1, so all in all excellent game, shame his volley couldn't go in or hedidnt try to finish that ridiculous run with the ball when he bullied for pure pace all defenders..

Also it is not easy to play against three defenders and other two defensive mids..

Great performance from him today. Goal and an assist to win us the game, what more do we need? Feels like he’s fighting an uphill battle with some fans that just don’t like him. Credit where due to him.

Decided the game for us, good to see him do that for us in a big moment for the first time but we need to see it more often.

Bison, beast, whatever, some of those runs were superb. That one at the end with three men on him was immense. He just left Azpi for absolutely dead. Stretford End loved that more than anything else today.

Hopefully he carries this form and finally starts a run. Perfect performance at perfect time.

More of this please. :drool:

Has been great and consistent for a whole now. If we manage to eliminate Sevilla he will surely pass the 30 goal mark in all competitions. From a striker what more can you expect?

Game where lukaku bossed Chelsea defence. The run from him towards the end is something no other forward in epl now would have produced. He took their defence by surprise there. Need to check speed on that sprint maybe is fastest sprint in epl this year.

He's fighting off pressure the best possible way in a game like this. Another assist proving he's also there for the team.

Think he’s been showing similar levels in several games lately. Looks light on his feet. Difference is some of the other players attacked with more intent today.

Can we sign Meunier, please please please.
Meunier crossing to Lukaku :drool:
Not to mention he's a United fan and above all that he is 195 cms tall :drool::drool:

It annoys me so much that a lot of the times he is the only player in the box and still our fb's put crosses 20 yards away from him. Just like today there have been multiple times this season when he has put the kind of crosses you wish he would receive

I keep saying it. If our supply to him was regular he'd score more regularly for us. Today he got the service and delivered.
Nah I disagree. The difference today was he made the most out when he got the ball (after his goal). Held it up properly, made things happen on his own, outmuscled defenders and showed his pace. He was awful before his goal and it was looking like it would be a standstd big game from him, after his goal he was transformed though and a completely different player.

He was awesome today. Bullied the defence, a goal and assist, good on and off the ball. And at the end when we needed someone to keep the ball he carries it 40 yards holding off 3 players he was superb.

Hopefully this game gives Lukaku the confidence that he can impose himself and influence any game from anywhere, not just as a target man. Incredible performance to turn around Chelsea.

Rolled over the memory of Nistelrooy against Arsenal.
