FFS! Put it in the back of the net.... a striker couldn’t ask for a better game, Watford are all over the place
 
Oh my god. Evidence his head is in the wrong place. Bringing Zlatan on and playing him wide is the last thing he needs.

Yeah playing him wide is pointless. Seems to be a lack of confidence right now, damn just wide now as well but well played.
 
Bad miss. I think he's suffering with confidence issues at the moment which is a shame given his great start. I get the impression he's letting his lack of goals in recent weeks get to him and he's often taking shots on when there's better options.
 
He must know he is completely incapable with his right foot, why else try so desperately to put it on your left.

We spent £90m on a one-footed striker. Who is shit at holding up the ball.
 
He simply is not a good enough striker for us. Reason I think it is because he doesn't have the technical ability that a big striker needs. He has scored a lot of headers and 2-3 yards goals for us but he just simply won't be a good long term solution for us, but only maybe a second striker. We will need to go back to the transfer market next summer surely. He can't hold the ball up and now he had an open goal but simply waited for the ball to come to his feet so he could score. A top striker would have put that away easily
 
I'd prefer rashford to become a tank and play as the player Lukaku is - I reckon he could do it aswell. A beastly rashford would be nice to see.
 
It is so annoying because De gea clears the ball towards Lukaku and he simply misses the ball or gives it away to the opposition. Can't hold the ball up AT ALL!
 
He really can't afford to be regularly missing good chances. He doesn't bring enough to our overall play to compensate.

His price tag was based hugely around him being clinical.
 
They said Hernandez wasn't a good enough footballer to lead the line for Utd. Is Lukaku really much better?
 
Why do so many good players turn to shit when they join us? Is it a mental thing?
 
Thought he did well in the first half linking up with martial. Second half has been brutal though and you can't really blame Rashford for that. He gave him a goal on a plate and lukaku fecked it up
 
£90m should get you a striker that can use both feet.

This.
Nothing against Lukaku but there is so much missing from his game. His hold off play is simply atrocious! You are right, for 90m we should expect so much more. One wonders how Morata wouldve been in this team
 
I'm afraid that the arrogant decision of keeping Lukaku on instead of Martial might cost us here. fecking hell.
 
His link up play definitely isn't underrated. Not when you compare it to his contemporaries like Kane. In this match alone, in comparative circumstances, Pogba has held up the ball more times successfully and more consistently; that Lukaku has effectively done it prior to contributing to a goal shouldn't obscure how people analyse Lukaku in general.
 
If we end up fecking this up, it’ll be partly due to Lukaku’ awful taking of chances.
 
Reckon Lukaku will end up being a short-term signing tbh. Rashford will become the no9 when he's ready.

Lukaku has a lot of qualities and he works his socks off, he's not going to be a flop at all. Just not sure he can make the step up that United need.
 
He's had a very poor game tonight by and large. I'm still a big fan but he's not been on song lately.
 
Nothing against him - just hate the fact he is deemed undroppable.

Martial should not have been subbed today; its simply unfair.
