I have no clue why he's always standing at the far post even when it's obvious we are struggling to get the ball past the near post and to him. Maybe it's due to a lack of nous, laziness or low mobility? I have seen us put many dangerous crosses that are cut out by the defender before him. He will score more goals if he could constantly get to the wrong side of his marker and attack the near post.
Look at Kane, Aguero, Lewy, Suarez, attacking the near post is what make great goalscorers, not just standing at the far post and expecting the crosser to turn into Marc Albrighton.
True that. For someone who has scored a lot of goals he’s surprisingly not very good at finding pockets of space / movement in the box
 
We have a squad good enough to beat the likes of Leicester, Burnley and Southampton without having to play our "main" striker.give the man a rest. Play either Rashford or martial as the centre forward.when lukaku does play keep him away from our box when defending set pieces.
 
Some inclusions in that video were weird, like passes that were clearly off target or about to be intercepted but then it just cut to the next highlight. It was interesting to see how often it was Lingard who he linked up with though and highlights how important it is to have a good number 10 linking the play and getting the striker involved to get the most out of him and Jesse has been the most effective of those who have played that role this season.
 
Man Utd 0:0 Southampton
injury looks worrying. he really hasn't moved his limbs..?
 
Best wishes big Rom. Did not look good that.. hope it was just concussion.
 
Hopefully it’s precautionary measures & he’ll be back soon.
 
Didn’t look like much, so hopefully he will be back soon.

Looking from a positive perspective, it’s given Rashford a great opportunity to play at a CF for 80 mins, and if Lukaku is forced to miss the Everton game, perhaps the rest will do him good.
 
Nothing worse in football than seeing a lifeless player under the oxygen mask being stretchered off.

Hope he’s back again asap.
 
hope he is back quickly. though many here would probably be happy

Why? Its' not like we have Harry Kane on the bench waiting to come on for him.

Whether he's crap or not, he is our only experienced striker (Ibra ain't fit to play). Likes of Rashford are too inconsistent. Hope he recovers and comes back quickly. And of course, sorry about his injury on a personal level.

Only an idiot would be happy over an injury. Really hope he's ok.

lots on here think that we would be better off with martial or rashford throughthe middle

Wanting another player in a position and being happy over a person getting injured are two different things.
 
People like to bash lukaku but this match will show the lack of quality up top without him.
 
It looked innocuous at first - just one of those bumps on the head that players shake off, so I feared the worst when he didn't move.

I was watching the players' reactions and none of them seemed horrified, which was a relief at the time. Good news that he apparently doesn't need to go to hospital.
