Having a run like he had in the last game with Belgium when he scored 4 goals is of course amazing, but calculating the average goal per game ratio can sometimes be a misleading tool. If a player scores 4 goals in one game and then no goal in three games, I think every team would wish for the striker to instead score 1 goal per game more reliably. He has had some impressive games, but consistency isn't so much about maths, it is about how often he is the one to decide the game with his goals. That is what counts and Roma could need more decisive goals as they are stuck in the table.

Yes indeed, so the point is that the team needs goals in every match, and not just have a lot of goals only in one match. But of course, if for example Lukaku can consistently make goals in every match even if only one goal, it will still be good for AS Roma also to consistently get points in each match. Because yes, at least the consideration is about AS Roma position in the current Serie A standings which at least, still looks difficult to be able to compete well in the top four. Therefore, although Lukaku has managed to have a lot of goals so far, but because AS Roma position is also not entirely good, then that factor at least does not have a balance with the good performance of the player.

It could be said that Lukaku is very likely to become the top scorer in Serie A but Roma failed to finish in the top four of the standings (I know Martinez has scored 12 goals so far). That is the reality we see about Jose Mourinho current squad, but in essence his signing has a good impact on improving the club performance. On the other hand, it is reported that Roma and Chelsea management have agreed to a new agreement regarding Lukaku future status, Roma agreed to make the Belgian striker status permanent for a figure of 37 million pounds and Lukaku must be willing to reduce his salary.

Next, Roma will face Udinese in Week 13 of Serie A, this is an opportunity that must be utilized well to push into the top four of the standings, because Napoli and Fiorentina will face tough matches. I don't think Udinese is a tough opponent, because so far they have only been able to achieve one win in their 12 matches.
