I'm very happy with his start here, but he should have 3/4 more goals;
Sitter v Real Madrid
Penalty miss
Late chance v Stoke
Terrible miss v Everton

Bad miss.
Absolutely shocking miss, would have pretty much killed the game. We can't afford misses like those.
he's good premier league striker but he's not a world class goal scorer imo, some of his misses are so shocking, he's been compared to andy cole due to him needed so many chances to get a goal but even cole was more deadly than lukaku is, I would still say martial is the player united should want with the ball at his feet inside the opponents box.
Wow, so knee jerk reactions started.
Needs to be sold if he is willing to piss on my Fantasy team. Aguero wouldn't have missed that.

Wtf.... 1 fecking miss. Wind your neck in ya fecking nutters.
He did well to send Williams the other way too.

Blimey every striker in the world occasionally misses a big chance. Calm down.
Bad miss but the footwork before it was top class.. lets not kill him already.
feck me! Go away back to newbie forum!
Wasn't even that shocking of a miss, people are overreacting. If he had shot at the keeper, the reaction wouldn't have been so strong.
It was an awful miss but let's not pretend they don't happen to everyone. I remember Ronaldo putting on over the bar from a yard away from an open net.
His runs and general play has been good overall.

He's been good today. One bad miss doesn't change that. He scores that goal 9/10. Not worried at all. Some of the comments though
It was a bad miss, nothing knee jerk about stating that.
It was a horrible miss, come off it, he should have finished it without question!
oh no i don't have the same exact thoughts as you, shoot me! i'm not judging him on that one miss, for me he's a little frustrating to watch in front of goal, he misses quite a lot of clear cut chances since joining the club.
It wasn't as easy as some make it out to be. Yes he should have finished that but he had to dummy Williams first and Pickford closed the angles well so he had to try to put it wide in the corner. But I don't think it was a tap in from a yard out.
A thread bumped whenever a player miss a chance?! No?!
Top player, fantastic signing and good game so far.

Everytime he has half a second to think he messes up. Just a terrible decision maker. He's good when he is finishing instinctively.
Bad miss, but should not dwell on it. He should have shot it on the right, easy chance to put away as the keeper was on his line.
Should have scored but not the worst miss I've seen. But he does need to work a bit more on his finishing to complement his impeccable all around play.
It was a really deft touch to get it back onto his left. Real shame he couldn't finish it.
Abysmal miss, but the sign of a top striker is to keep working hard and anticipate the next chance.

easy to say but that close in you probably just smack it straight and low. You open your body so close to the ball and you can open yourself too much. Not overly concerned but we could do with a second.
How the feck didn't he score?
Sounds like you are judging him on one miss. Maybe you should judge him on his goal scoring statistics? They're pretty world class to me.
Sell him
Even 'clinical' strikers miss chances sometimes..
Get over it, that's football.

Calm down, it's really mind boggling that you guys have been promoted to mains and we are rotting down in the newbs. Did you see it from the other angle? From behind Lukaku? It wasn't a sitter. Yep, he created a decent angle but keeper almost had it covered unless Lukaku could curl it back.
People who expect strikers to score every chance and have conversion rate 100% are weird.
I have seen Christiano Ronaldo miss even easier chances than this. It's normal.

All they do is moan. Lukaku is one of the best strikers in the world, excellent player and I will defend this guy all the time. I'm so annoyed at the stupid fecking arrogance same people has on this forum, expecting goals every fecking chance.
Watching it back. Watch his movement when Keane has the ball. He's constantly alert. He's right there off the shoulder once Mata nicks the ball.
He has played well despite the miss.

How did he score against West Ham? Great goals and not easy chances but maybe you didn't come here to applaud him then.
He's not clinical enough. It will come back to bite us on the backside in the bigger PL and CL games, because a chance like that may be the only chance you get in the game.
I'm delighted with the start he's made with us, but he has to stop missing chances like those.
I can't remember many chances he's missed. The few he has missed he still scored that game.He's clinical enough. It's the problem in people's expectations that he'll score every chance he gets in the game.
He missed. It happens.
I still fancy him to score a couple in the second half if we up the tempo.

Poor first half and bad miss. Still expect him to score second half though
He's got six in seven!
