I don't like him because:

He has no intelligence
Technically limited
No movement
Lazy
Doesn't press

The list above is not made up and deep down ... You know this...It's killing you inside.

Please MITO - the sooner you come to acceptance, the easier it will be for you when he is sold for horse meat in the summer.
Could be describing Mario there. <ok>

The videos highlights isolated moments across his career.

I want to see a lot more over 90 mins every match.

Mario chased down a player or two in his time, he made runs in behind a defence every now and again. Doesn't mean he's mobile or dynamic?
 
Anyone looks good on Youtube :bandit:

On a serious note....He is losing confidence in himself and he can only get that back if he has positive players around him (i.e. not Firmino)

i agree he is.. you can see the pressure he is putting on himself... klopp says play free of pressure.

Its kind of silly of him as he should have thought about it 6 months ago when joining that there would be lots of strikers and he'd not play every game.
 
In the 13 league games Lukaku has scored or assisted in, you have kept a clean sheet in 2 of them (incidentally, in neither of those two games did Lukaku's goals change the result).

Apart from the 2 clean sheets mentioned above, you kept another 3 clean sheets in which Lukaku did **** all.

So it's clear you have a choice between clean sheets and Lukaku scoring, and most of the time when Lukaku scores you don't win anyway.

He needs to work hard in training and put away the 1v1 he has had recently.
Can't remember who it was against, but at the final whistle, we had won but he looked dejected (he has missed a 1v1 couple of mins prior).

both games he looked dejected. V sunderland he should have gone between legs or smashed it from outside box.

V Leicester he could have passed it in from near half way.... the sunderland one should have been his bread and butter though....

oh do me a favour
Balotelli was the epitome of lazy brainless egoist who could not scored in a brothel.
you talk about Benteke missing sitters (agreed ) but Balotelli missed far more , including 3 in his only decent game for us , and i cannot remember more than 2 goals from him in open play so the sitters massively outweigh the goals. it dimishes the valid points in your arguements to belittle Benteke by comparing him to that sack of ****
 
My view is that Benteke is a good player but doesn't fit the set up of the team but both him and the rest of the team need to adapt to try and meet in the middle or we are going nowhere this season as we just won't score enough - unless Lazarus forces his way back in
