How bad was Lukaku?

I watched the Chelsea vs Liverpool game last night and I thought Lukaku was dreadful. He seemed totally out of his depth. he was bullied off the ball almost every time it came to him and his first touch was so bad, often his second touch was a tackle. They spent a lot of money for him but he needs to improve an awful lot in my opinion. I think he cost Chelsea the game as they could never keep a move going. With Torres so much out of form too, there was only going to be one winner last night.

How old is he, what 18 or something?

When players like Fabregas, Wiltshire, Owen and many others were only 18, they were already showing great promise. Maybe he just had a shocker in this game but they did pay a lot of money for him and he was supposed to be a great strong forward in the Belgium langue and has 13 caps for his country. I was expecting better.

give him a break mate. It was one game, he might have just had a bad game, and thats it, dosent mean he's a bad player.

Lucas dominated both Lukaku and Torres in that game, every time either got on the ball he closed them down immediately.

The most either of them did in that match was Lukaku's horrific challenge on Henderson/

He look's totally rank. Andy Carroll get's stick and he's only 22 and his age does not seem to matter to some people, so this joker deserve's stick too. Should have been sent off for his shocker on Henderson. At least this guy has time to improve and he prob will but Torres is a total write off look's like he's getting worse to me rather than getting better.

hes only had a few games this season, and the premiership is a step up from the belgian league, combine that with a a manager under pressure and a team playing with no confidence, the odds were stacked against him

still not an excuse for that tackle on hendo though
