And now you're telling me the team actually made 5400 chances per game? your posts keep contradicting each other.
You would think if Kane is at the level where He could be considered one of the best, then surely being half-a-level below Kane means that Lukaku isn't one of the best. They need to be at least on par.
Hope he carries this form into the season for us. If only he had more consistent service he'd bang in even more for us.
Gutted he didn't have the last 30mins today, could have been well clear in the Golden boot!
No, but that's how we were set up with LVG. It's not a stretch to assume that was your insinuation.
If Lukaku is half a level below Kane you must be watching tennis or some other sport. If a player that scores almost the same amount of goals as Kane is half a level below him, what does that to to Neymar(a player that scores around half the goals the following 2 score/season) vs CR/Messi, a player vastly regarded by people as being "half a level" above those two.
If Kane would've won some shite in the last few years and dragged his team to those results, that would've put him half a level before Lukaku. Atm, both are easily overrated strikers that haven't accomplished shite in the game. I would say they're kind of equal, but hey, Kane is English and it;s impossible for this forum to think level when speaking about their beloved English players.
As long as they score almost the same amount of goals +-5, they're kind of equal. Both are at a very high level, but for Kane to be "half a level" above him, he needs to do something noticeable in this game. Until now, he didn't.
Eh?
He decided he wasn't fit enough to start but fit enough to play
Could genuinely have had a couple more..
4 goals in the WC.. delighted for him.
Would probably get a few against England as well..

This season Lukaku scored 27 in 51, Kane 41 in 48.
It has nothing to do with being English, I'm Welsh.
I’ve read that weeks ago.
Did he go off injured or was it to rest him?
Probably a mixture of both, he looked like he had a small limp.
Lukaku was pretty wasteful, should've scored 4 goals during the 1st half.
The service he is getting from Belgian midfield is unreal.
Lukaku will need to be more clinical with them. He That could be the difference against well organised defensive-minded teams.

4 goals in first half? Sure if he was Superman and could reach any distance in no time.
He is very clinical. This expectation of 100% conversion is just laughable.
He played very well today, don't agree with you at all.
Hazard: "It's easy to play with Romelu Lukaku, pass him the ball and he scores evey time. He was fantastic."
You can play with him more often, if you want...

Literally what striker scores 4 goals in one half?
When you're getting clear-cut chances that are expected to be put into the goal and doesn't take advantage of it, then it's indeed bad.
Lukaku was wasteful in term of the chances he got from Hazard & De Bruyne today.
Doesn't matter anyway since Tunisia were shite, but it could be costly against a strong defensive side.
Some of the comments are just downright stupid or few are trolling. He scored 4 goals in 150 mins, and people and moaning about his level compared to Kane or some of the failed touches.
Lol I don’t think anyone in world football is calling him wasteful today.
KdB pass was overhit one which he couldn't reach. The other one he tried to make space by kicking the ball fair distance and it didn't with out. Wouldnt call that clear cut chance at all, very from it.
Bats was wasteful, not Lukaku who scored 2 goals in 2 shots.
To be honest if we would play to his strengths he could rack up a fair few goals against minnows.
17 goals in his last 11 games for Belgium is incredible. He now has 5 World Cup goals if Belgium go far(which is expected) and him being 29 at the next World Cup anyone think there is a possibility of breaking Klose record ? Might be a stretch but actually could be possible
When he signed I was pretty underwhelmed but since January he's made me eat my words and then some. To the extent that from being a player I wasn't particularly arsed with, he's probably my favourite current player.
Fantastic attitude and he works his proverbial off. It helps that he's a clinical git in front of goal too!

Ah sorry....you said " that's peculiar"..... I presumed you were unaware of the situation I was referring to
We used it for the Arsenal 3-1 win too but Jose was clearly not impressed at all with that performance defensively given De Gea had to make several saves and it was dropped after that. Martial Lukaku strike partnership is the best thing since sliced bread.
We recently signed Dalot. But you're somewhat on the mark. The attack atm is quite imbalanced. We really badly need to find a solution for the left back and right wing positions, and most likely this will come through signing players. I also think with a fit Bailly all season the team will be more attacking. We could do with another quality midfielder in addition to Fred too.
They aren’t scoring anywhere near the same amount of goals. It has nothing to do with being English. I believe the difference between Kane and lukaku would be similar to say ronaldo and Neymar and this is being a little generous to lukaku (and please don’t try and quote me on “oh you think kane is ronaldo now)
Anyway he’s a top class striker but like I said in my opinion Kane will go on to be remember as he premier leagues best of this generation.
Maybe RVN and Henry is a good comparison.
Have been one of Lukaku’s biggest critics based on his general ineptitude this season, but he’s been incredible so far at this tournament, and it’s clear Mourinho’s killing him, in the same way he is Rashford, Shaw, Martial etc - it’s at a point where it makes infinitely more sense to just replace the (mis)manager with someone who can play the football that’ll get the best out of them than lose or misuse them.
The only one he fecked up was the half dive apology after the awful first touch.
The other half chances de bryne overhit the pass/cross by inches.
You'd be singing a different tune if Benzema missed those chances.
He's 27 y.o. and will be 30 in 3 years. 60m not even a penny more.
I wonder how much Hazard would cost. He's exactly what we need.
What a load of bollocks.
If we were going for him after this world up, would cost more than 75m, that's for certain. It's clear give him the right service and he'll score goals....
Except that Henry (Belgium assistant manager) has stated explicitly that Lukaku has improved his game since joining Manchester United.
Womp womp.
Lukaku is one of our better performers despite the problems. It's the players behind him that are being killed (if that is the case).
I wouldn’t get rid of Lukaku just yet.
I really can't understand how anyone could have watched him play this season and watched him before that and come to the conclusion that he hasn't improved.
