The LUK Effect : 3 Talking Points From EPL Round 2


 The Lukaku Effect 

Not many footballers get to experience 2 debuts for one club, even fewer get to achieve that in a space of 10 years before hitting 30. Romelu Lukaku 's football sojourn  has seen him play in Belgium, England and Italy, returning to the club he left as a teen a Serie A champion.

A debut goal would have been a fairy tale return and yes it was. The big Belgian was unplayable and unstoppable in the opposition defence proved that the man with the highest combined transfer fee in history was not a fluke.

Top 5 combined transfer fees

Romelu Lukaku - £293.5M

Neymar - 246.6M

Cristiano Ronaldo - 191.4M

Kylian Mbappe - £165.7M

Eden Hazard - £162M

This Chelsea team seem to have put the icing on a carefully baked cake by Thomas Tuchel. 5 goals scored and none conceded, the blues look to like a scary force this season.

Moyes Means Business



West Ham's 4-1 demolition of Leicester City on Monday night put something of a reality check on last season's FA Cup winners , but most importantly it underlined the hammers' resurgence since the second coming of David Moyes. A 6th place finish  last term  has been consolidated on by 2 decent showing this seaaon with 8 goals in 2 games, Moyes' side sure desrve their place at the top of the table. A disappointing stint at Manchester United didn't deter the scot who was handpicked by his successor Sir Alex Ferguson. The highlight of the night was Michail Antonio's milestone, two late goals 4 minutes apart saw the Englishman surpass Paolo Di Canio's Premier League goal tally (47) putting him on 49 goals. The hammers sit pretty and deservedly so.


Greenwood's Time?


Okay, we all know how good and exceptionally talented Mason Greenwpod is but this season has seen a reborn attacker. The 19 year old has struggled for form and with injuries since breaking COVID 19 rules while on international duty with England on September 7, 2020.

The arrival of Jadon Sancho and the return od Jesse Lingard from a decent loan spell seemed to have reignited the spark in the teenager who only showed glimpses of brilliance towards the end of last season. Two pinpoint and clinical finishes in as many games, Greenwood is staking a claim for a starting berth in a crowded attack, finally justifying the no.11 shirt and providing healthy competition for  $100M signing Sancho.
