Became our new Wayne Rooney in just few months. Most privileged status in the team.
 
Should have paid 100 mil for Morata or just challenged Arsenal for Lacazette. Both are not the type of CFs we would be entirely happy with, but neither of them are as bad as Lukaku.
 
No idea why he hasn’t been taken off, been a waste of space up front and could try someone else there at least.
 
Not going to say he’s a flop or anything (yet) but really disillusioned with him today.

His record against the big teams is no coincidence. His on and off the ball movement, link up and general composure is poor under pressure. Really hope it changes starting with the next 10 mins.
 
Wonder what stats will be cited this time to suggest he has world class touch and dribbling skills
 
at least we can put an end to "doesn't turn up to big matches". has been huge for city today
 
We signed him to bury those chances. Ffs
 
I'm getting tired of him. He can't even convert that chance. What do we keep him on the field for?
 
Jesus how does he miss that? Failed in front of both goals tonight, cost us any chance we had of getting a win.
 
I wouldn’t blame him for that miss. He did pretty much everything right - stayed on side, great connection, on target.
 
Even Vardy might be more decent option at this point. And how I laughed when Wenger showed interest in Vardy.
 
Yeah, we should probably spend those 90m euros on another striker.

We can't have the worst first choice striker of the top 6 and expect to challenge for the title.
 
£75 mill rising to £90 for this up front. Limits the potential of the team when a key player is so flawed.

City have not been that good today either.
 
Matches like this is where you need elite players who are match winners. Unfortunately we don't have any, and Lukaku looks a million miles away from being on that level. You look at the players City have bought for less than £75m (Aguero, Sane, Jesus, De Bruyne) and you have to say our player recruitment has been disgraceful.
