Long is in great form. Top, top player.

Long for 60-70 mins and Lukaku coming off the bench has worked all season. If it ain't broke...

Shane Long is the better front man despite his lack of size. Pace, workrate, movement. Long hustles and harries the defenders and doesnt give them a minutes rest, then once Long has shot his bolt, then Lukaku comes on and feeds off the scraps of the already tired defenders. Is Lakaku a menace, yes but Long is more important to the team
