Lukaku's first touch is comically bad.

You're my tactics man. @Reg
Nice finish. If Stoke were any good they'd be level.
Whatever chant that was from the Stoke fans it sounded properly eastern European.
Stunning control.
Stoke deserve to be relegated for this kit alone.
Has Zouma always been this bad or is it Hughes' tutelage that has done this to him?
Thought that was just a deliberate move to put the defender off. He got a shot off and all!
He's been alright today. Messi Lingard has been shit though. Flavour-of-the-month fraud. Get him sold.
EDIT: Lukaku that is.
Maybe they can trade him for Sanchez.
Arsenal is a great place for 25-year-old English talents who are just that one season away from realising their actual potential, so it makes sense for everyone.
That was good. He should get wound up more often, the big soft twat.
It's strange when Lukaku actually does something good.
I was just writing a post about how inept Lukaku had been as that goal went in.
If it had been 0-0, that would have been straight at the 'keeper
Lukakus effort was alright considering Martial basically passed it hard into his stomach, but once the ball hit him about 3 stoker defenders also seemed to avoid him as if he had ebola.
I noticed that. The one who tracked Mata's run rather than just booting the ball away was ridiculous.
Pogba is so much better than anyone else on the pitch it's not funny.
Stoke can easily get out of the relegation zone if Lambert can be arsed to do so.
I expect lolz if I'm quite honest. Easy 3-0 win for us.
Lambert is shit. They're going down.
Pogba was glorious tonight. Lukaku was very good as well, despite the usual moaning in here.
This Mourinho-Conte feud should be a Wrestlemania main event match.
Yeah I thought so. Several nice flicks and passes. His touch has got much better since the start of the season, and he's linking with the others much more.
I'm on the Pogba train this season. He's gone up a level. But I'm holding off calling him one of the best until he does it against the top six / the best European sides.
Some of the defending was a bit bomb-scare however, if Stephen Ireland wasn't a retard he'd have bagged a couple.
On the subject of Stephen Ireland, he really is a strange creature. There's nothing obvious which is exceptionally weird about his appearance, and yet he barely looks human.
It's called being bald mate.
Utterly boring game.
There's been some quality caretaker managing going on this season. First you had the blimp disaster at Goodison, then you have this Stoke chap dredging Stephen Ireland out of somewhere for his first start in nigh on three years. What on earth was he thinking?
Doing something different I'd imagine. It's not like it's been working up to now.
"Fuck it. I'm only here once. Do we still have Bojan?!"
Getting hold of Lukaku's voodoo correspondent and having a doll made would be trying something different too, and every bit as likely to work as putting Stephen Ireland at the centre of your attack.
I thought Stephen Ireland did well. If he had his shooting boots on then he would have bagged.
