re: Lukaku disappeared again against quality competition

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.

Yeah the midfield did nothing for Lukaku. Outside of Hazards brilliant efforts in the first half, Belgium never came out to play.
Feel bad for Kompany. The rest of those guys will get another shot with a better manager.
