Ive trapped that under foot never mind take it down!
Romelu Lukaku | Napoli watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Have to imagine they've waited all season for him to do that.
Yep. They're about the same level
He is going to score a wondergoal if we play them in the final. Just know it. Although I think they will get knocked out earlier.Hopefully we can win this!
Lukaku is so good he converts goals to chances.
He probably meant that he'd found his level at Everton and he's found it at inter.
Inter is currently tier 2 or 3 in Europe. I don't think that's a bad level for any footballer.
dummied. His touch is so bad that it looks like he missed it!You know it's bad when it takes a year to see Lukaku control a football properly.
Exactly.
Yeah same, then I reverse flip flapped it.
I don’t think he’ll become a way better player. I Just think he could be even more effective and with better numbers and performances in the CL. He was very good for us against PSG away. If he was like that on the regular he’d get a lot more respect. Yes he’s clearly flawed at the top level but He’s also very hard to stop once he gets going.
The guy is a joke, and whoever posted that he requested it is probably right. He can’t cope with criticism, and is still resentful towards us because of it.
Small time by Inter. It’s not as if it’s Bergkamp. The fact that he can’t do that every game, not expected every time, but he should be able to control the ball at least some of the time! He’s a professional footballer.
No wonder they want Sanchez if this is the sort of crap they post about.

He was good in one game in two years.
Might as well sign Fulham’s left back, he scored twice in an important game once as well.
Is that the 2002 WC ball? Lovely ball
I’ll look forward to seeing him in the champions league next season so. He’s got a manager who believes in him. A team set up to get the best out him and they are investing. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him do a lot better there over the next few seasons. That’s all I’m saying.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while, and it appears Inter's twitter is ran by a 12 year old.
That ball looks like Adidas Fevernova. And that is one embarrasing tweet.
Martial does alot of these things every game, we don't even care about it.
This is honestly pretty cringe from the Inter twitter account. If I was the player, I'd be pretty pissed they even acknowledged it. If anything it just makes the claims more legitimate. Showing him pulling out an impressive first touch doesn't automatically erase all the horrendous first touches we've seen from him. We still remember that. It also means nothing in isolation, you could pull up a video of a Sunday League footballer pulling that off, but that doesn't mean his first touch doesn't put the ball out for a throw in 9 times out of 10.
Anyway, we know what we had with Lukaku. That video is an exception to the norm. If he pulled off basic first touches that were half as impressive as that consistently, then there would be nothing to say.

His good first touch in the tweet doesn't seem totally deliberate. The idea is to cushion it onto the grass, not back onto the same foot because it's more likely to be miscontrolled.
Its coming down soft. Its really not hard to do
Not having a go at you, we're all laughing at Lukaku here.
Im not having a go back, just pointing out how much easier a better bit of skill is!

He has a first touch. It's just really out of control and is fortunate to bang off his shin.
Are you a Utd dan? Why would you be looking forward to watching Lukuku?
Jose believed in him, and it didn’t mean he was suddenly a class player.
i like watching out for our old players to see if they hit form again after they leave. See if their new form stacks up with what we saw. I’m not an inter or lukaku fan but as I said I have a feeling he’s going to do well there over the next few seasons in the CL and this thread will be busy enough.
Not the touch but the drag back and flick in one movement too. Like we wouldn’t all be creaming if Greenwood did that.
Tbf Greenwood's been doing stuff like that all season, he's silky smooth on the ball, constantly pulling 180° turns etc.
He can trap a football further than most players can kick it
Really good finish.
The obsession with Lukaku in this forum is nauseating.
Away with you, this thread is for discussion about his first touch
Wow that tweet is cringeworthy
Well technically that finish was a first touch
