Lukaku disappeared again against quality competition

Just like he does in the Premier League against the top teams.
Scores a brace against Panama and lowly Tunisia then nothing rest of the way. Yes, I know, he had 1 assist against Brazil.

He did disappear against France but if you are trying to say he didn't have a good game against Brazil then you just completely ruined any point you were trying to make.

He disappeared against France because Roberto Martinez played one midfielder and Fellaini as a target striker. This allowed Pavard to shadow Hazard, Hernandez to shadow KDB (until KDB started dropping in super deep and then Hernandez was an extra man on Lukaku), Pogba man marked Fellaini, and both Varane and Umtiti were completely clean to pick up every run from Rom and clear every cross. Varane was practically playing center field on most crosses because he had no one to pick up.

Well Belgium isn’t a man one show.....
It would be like saying Salah is shite because he didn’t single handedly take Egypt to the knockouts and disappeared in pretty much every game.
Lukaku was vital in almost every match for Belgium, but against the best defense maybe in the tournament they did their job and forced him to be ineffective.

Martinez needs all of the blame here. To me it starts and ends with him leaving radja nainggolan home and starts axel witsel. Criminal

It's not about good teams
Lukaku is one of the world's top players when he wants to be. Other times, he loafs around. I originally thought it was his youth or the fact that he had checked out at Everton. I think by now it's apparent that's just who he is. Of course the opponent and his team's performance have a lot to do with it, but it's obvious he can be taken out of games or effectively takes himself out at times.

He played poorly against France but their tactics as a team left a lot to be desired.
He was fantastic against Brazil.
