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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I looked that up after and am clearly wrong on his top speed but I don’t remember him ever accelerating quickly which is largely more important than top speed unless you’re playing with tons of space to run into Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Lukaku is fast with plenty of space but think gbandit is right that his acceleration isn't great at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Am I right in thinking that this group is one of them that England could potentially face the 3rd place finisher. If so, could easily be Belgium at this rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
