To Lukakus credit VvD really struggles with him since he can't bully him physically. He just needs to find a way to hit the target
The 141st FA cup Final - Chelsea v Liverpool
- Thread starter tentan
- Start date
It's grim for Chelsea that their back up is Werner.
Who else can they try? Ziyech?

Not only headers. VVD is losing many duels to the Belgian, he is only saved so far by the latter’s wastefulness.
One letter out, closer than Lukaku's finishing.
Lukaku is defeating VVD but Lukaku is defeating himself.
Excellent summary
It's the same every game. All teams just fluff their lines versus Liverpool. It's mental.
What is Lukaku’s agility stat on FIFA?
When you realise it, it's very one dimensional..
Loose ball? They don't control it, they just boot it up on the half-volley almost every time and then trap the opposition defence running back towards their own keeper.

We made our money back on Lukaku. One of only a handful of great things we've achieved in the last decade.
To think Micah Richards is barely thirty and yet he won the FA Cup eleven years ago
This is dog shit.
Another highly entertaining 0-0 between these teams.
He did burst onto the scene to be fair.

Two-times FA Cup finalist. Love it.
Should have joined United. But well, his loss.

He is such a poor footballer. Can't get his first touch right. Just looks cumbersome and gets in his own way.
Knew someone would double quote soon as I saw it. It's been great half though.
It doesn't look to me like he's struggling with him in any way, shape or form.
One of the better 0-0s, agreed
The saddest part about all this is that United can put both these teams away when we're firing on all cylinders.
Not as high as his "pointing" stat obviously.
Really dull so far, huh?

Lukaku looks like he has lead in his shoes sometimes
Would be great if this went all the way to extra time and Chelsea win it late. The weather is hot so it drains Liverpool who will have to play again in a few days. A last minute lost destroys their morale.
He was never turning down Newcastle for you guys, though. Fergie himself knew that
Soon as they came in, it was a done deal. But hindsight says his career would obviously have been more glittered had he joined you.
Will Tuchel have the common sense to sub Lukaku off at the break?
It's a case of strengths and weaknesses. He can do to VVD what few players can because of his size and strength but in turn he lacks the finesse and quality of many other players that don't hold that advantage over VVD.
Good one!
Says a lot about Liverpool's strength in depth that I wasn't even slightly encouraged by Salah going off.
Just watching the highlights here at HT on BBC. Alonso has to score and lukuku has to hit the target there
Wrong thread, or maybe wrong decade?
Going the way of the league cup final. Missing some big chances.
That Jota chance right on 45 could easily have punished them.
I did miss the first 15 or so though where Liverpool could say the same with missed chances though.
However, Salah off, Chelsea won't have a better chance.
