I say it every game but the service to him is absolutely dreadful. Worked his bollocks off again for no reward, some of his passing and linkup play was majestic and he deserved at least an assist if not two. We absolutely have to get reinforcements into the attack to support him. It is a criminal waste of his ability and talent.
 
He was really good tonight, fair play to him. I hope he’s tearing into his teammates in th dressing room as we speak.
 
Would be pissed if I were him. Did really well in that second half IMO, set up 2 sitters, then shit passes didn't play him In when he should've had a few sitters himself.
 
He was great tonight. Anyone criticising him for that knows F all about football. Should have had 3 assists
 
Very good allround game today, the through ball for Lingard was just perfect.
 
His best performance in a united shirt. I have been fairly critical of him since we signed him, but if he does what he did today every week wow what a player we have.
 
One of his best performances for us? Certainly in terms of link up play. Really should have notched up a couple of assists and should have been played in a couple of times too.
 
Feel sorry for the guy, would be banging in goals anywhere else. Works so fecking hard for everyone else, just a shame nobody works hard for him.
 
Ran his arse off all game. Too bad his teammates refuse to pass to him when he's through on goal.
 
Some absolutely quality passes from him tonight. Shame he is surrounded by brain dead players though.
 
His early season goal bonanza has intimidated Rashford and Marshal, now the're too selfish trying stupid stuff instead of the simply passes to him.
 
Has been royally screwed.

The bloke looked visibly disturbed out there at times. I’ve never seen him snap like he did at Herrera.

Only player who seems to know how to play to his strengths in any capacity is Pogba.
 
Good job big Rom. Deserved at least two assists today.
And why Rashford did not pass him the ball in that last counter attack?

I feel like snapping at Herrera. The hell was he doing flapping his arms around at Lukaku after how shite he's been recently? Really fecked me off seeing that.
 
He's been better with the ball at his feet than Morata has been imo.
So good, God knows where it came from.
 
His pass for what should of been a Lingard goal was great. Best performance in ages.
 
Really good tonight, genuinely a very good player.
Get some quality creative minds around him, I'm sick to death of seeing him make a good run, play the ball to a winger and never ever getting it back.
 
Actually a great performance today. Should have two guaranteed assists with the sublime passes to Martial and Lingard. Also a big plus for giving Herrera stick for not following through on the break.

There was one point in the game where Lindelöf had the ball in the back, slowly getting pressured with no one in midfield or defense wanting the ball. He looked for an outlet and put the ball forward on Lukaku's chest - who chested in down to Pogba and bam - we were in control. Great play from Lukaku and Lindelöf and this was just a snippet of Lukaku's overall performance which in total was very good.

Had he been given a clear shot of goal the feeling was that he would have buried any chance today.

Looking forward to seeing him play again.
 
Very good game. Set up many chances. Not his fault no one can spot his runs, or good enough to lay him up most of the time.
 
Him, martial and lingard have a great understanding with each other. Rashford and him seem to completely ignore each other though, feck knows why. So many times rashford can play him in or pass to him but he just ignores him.

Though on lukaku, this is more what I want to see from a United #9. Good touch, creative, good hold up and link up play, and also utilizing his body to hold off defenders. Shame he was let down by others today.
 
From his first match in the league for Utd I thought he had that technical quality in him, contrary to his bad reputation. Tonight he's presented what he's fully capable of in that regard and colour me impressed. I even once have mistaken him with Pogba. Obviously that City game isn't a distant memory, but nonetheless my view's that Lukaku is determined to improve as a player and he puts a lot of work into it behind the scenes. Onwards and upwards.
 
Lukaku played very well tonight, especially in the second half. Probably the best he has played for the club, a couple of times he rightly lost his head with overly safe choices, given how square their backline was.

Anyway, much better from him, continues along those lines and the criticism will fade away, looked a proper CF tonight.
 
Should have had 3 assists today, lovely weight on the passes to play in Martial, Lingard and Mkhi, and they all duffed it.
 
One of his best games recently. Made several wonderful passes and should have had at least 2 assists.
