Lukaku may have rescued the blushes of Everton and forced a replay but the fact of the matter is, he has not lived up to his price tag this season.
Everton fans were thrilled to have landed him from Chelsea in the summer after a rather successful loan spell last term – and paid handsomely to do so.
At the minute a £28 million layout does not look like being worth it, but with the second half of the season to come, the forward can change all of that – and Everton’s season – for the better.
