Incidental contact, while battling for position surely? Hardly gave him any advantage. Wow.

Great play Openda. Lovely finish Lukaku.

Fair enough, I’m clearly wrong if that’s the case 

His lazy effort and lumbering ways when he's in a sulk give off a bad impression.

Hell of an athlete though.

Forgot they had Openda. Should have come on earlier.

This new Belgium manager is looking suspect.

I don’t remember him ever having major acceleration. Looking at his stats he did used to have a high top speed but surely that was only after he got going?

Think his speed can be underestimated because of his size, but man that guy has always had burst and speed as long as I can remember.

Was burning off the likes of Rashford at Man U, built like one of those sub 11 sec 100m rugby internationals 

Exactly. He's a physical specimen. 

When he actually gets the ball under control in space and starts running with, he's a freight train.

Also so dangerous in behind if he can manage to get his first touch right.

Just now, gbandit said:

His acceleration is not there at all and he never had major acceleration 

This is not the Lukaku I've been watching since he was a teenager.

Lukaku has always been a power and pace guy.

Just clumsy with the ball.

What is it that’s fucked Lukaku so bad in the last couple of years? He never had pace so that’s not it 

Always had pace and still does.

Slovakia were simply the better team.

Belgium look awful, considering the personnel.

What's up with KDB? Been gash ever since he came back with that new trim. 

Another Pep robot malfunctioning outside the system?

What a goal that would have been!

Belgium are so lethargic man.

Slovakia much more lively.

Why is Trossard wearing 9 and Lukaku 10, surely that other way around would be more appropriate?

That's exactly why they're losing.

Very irresponsible behaviour. 

Dubravka is embarrassing.

This genuinely makes me sick 

The guy is clueless. So used to this sort of rhetoric from fraud managers.

PFM bingo.

Really fun game. Great energy and atmosphere from Romania.

Something incredibly depressing about Mudryk since joining Chelsea.

Still looks shell shocked and miserable from the whole experience.

Was so bright, confident and joyful at Donetsk. Oh well.

Annoys me they don’t show pitch invaders anymore - well at least in the UK - all part of the fun watching them get chased 

They should be chased and flogged with horse whips.

Chelsea have completely broken Mudryk.

Ukraine really lacking spirit. 

Can't match Romania's energy and commitment.

Mudryk leathering that ball at his own player at the far post.

Then just now not shooting first time.

Horrendous decision making the guy has man.

Oh my God! What a strike!

One thing i've noticed on social media today, is that supporters of specific teams are looking to defend their own players to any criticism.

I've seen Liverpool fans refusing to admit that TAA wasn't particularly great in CM, City fans blaming Bellingham for Foden's poor performance and Man U fans whinging that it's all because Rashford isn't there.

 

Noticed the same. So pathetic!

Mudryk is so funny man.

Not familiar with the Romania team at all, aside from Dragusin.

Ukraine have some useful players coming off good seasons though.

Tsygankov and Dovbyk combination will be key I think, after their exploits for Girona together.

If that is what is needed to sign him, worth it.

Yeah, think I agree.

Going to be so interesting to see how everything plays out with him.
