The problem with Lukaku, and I've moaned about him for a long time, is his head. He has all the attributes to be the next Drogba, sadly in his head he already is. This convinces him and a lot of our fans that its the poor service he's getting. i'm sorry but he could asily be in double figures and more this Season the chances he's had, so that is not poor service. He's a little like Ross B, last season, just doesn't know what to do or how to put himself into a game. I thought v Soton maybe it had clicked but alas he's just been getting worse every game. Not only does he lack the intelligence to know how to put a stamp on the game, he just doesn't seem motivated to want to change either. What does he need? a kick up the backside like last season when he got dropped? I don't know. I can only think Big Dunc must be tearing his last remaining hairs out as I just can't believe he is performing to instructions from Big Dunc, rather he is just not doing it. Its time to act because its going on too long and and it could cost us games.
{Ed025's Note - i have to admit that i agree with a lot of that howie, he goes from hero to zero from one game to the next, there is no doubt he has skills but controlling the ball is certainly not one of them as his second touch is usually a throw in..

I say drop him. It'll wake him up. Give other players a chance. I like him as a player but nothing like dropping a player to make them deflect and think twice about how they are doing

Good read Howie. Now I've dropped Lukaku from my fantasy football team he will soon be back scoring again.

Although he is failing in his primary task (scoring goals) he doesn't always play badly. Against Chelsea the other week he had a good game, and made loads of space for Naismith to score. I personally don't think he is the right type of striker to play up front on his own, due to his poor first touch

agree he a bit off but will get us plenty of goals this season i'm sure still really glad we have him be great to add another top striker in jan and give him that compitition he needs
