Brilliant with his Left, Right and Middle leg. Top quality
On Martial's penalty he stayed back and didn't even make a run in case it were saved. Had complete confidence that Martial would score, nice to see.

Pretty unbelievable how low he is being rated considering the goals he has scored so far

I don't mind how he does it
Well 100 chances to score 1 isn't really reflective of reality to decide what we might say he needs to be clinical. 100 chances is also vague - 100 sitters, or 100 scrappy chances? I would say that the best way to measure finishing ability is never by one stat, by a combination of key stats.
Nevertheless, 1/4 or 1/5 chances is clinical (I have not said that he isn't clinical either btw), but in some games the chances are going to better than on other days. Today the chances were good enough for him to bag a brace, or even a hat-trick. As it is as you say every striker misses big chances. Against a top team, he may not even get 4 or 5 chances but only 1 or 2. In such a game he would need to be deadly when his chance(s) arises.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I haven't said he isn't clinical, or that his conversion rate isn't acceptable. That's why I'm challenging him to improve (rather than moaning at him) if he can because he has the support to do so behind him.
Got to love football fans. Boo Lukaku through-out. When he respond with a gesture, after assisting or scoring, they are shocked... "gosh that was totally uncalled for" 
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. You are basically now saying that he is a clinical striker but should try and be better because missing chances could cost us. Every player should try and get better, even Messi.
I'm saying that you should be realistic and temper your expectations because football is football. Missing chances and dropping points are part of it.
He is a top finisher so to 'challenge him to get better at finishing' when he is already one of the best at it seems a bit daft to me.
However, fair enough for not moaning like some entitled fans do whenever a player doesn't live up to their pro-level FIFA standards.
If my eye didn't deceive me, he had his arms up in the air and already celebrated before Martial finished the penalty.
Scouser's mentality for you. Always victim.
He still disrespected the club that put him in the place that got this club's interest. Forget about the thousands of people in the away end.Got to love football fans. Boo Lukaku through-out.

Glad he celebrated like feck, hate all this non-celebration bollocks. They were booing him, so feck 'em!
But he was "shhing" them... Its not like he got out a Everton shirt and pissed on it as part of his celebration.
What did you think the "shhing" was about? Him telling Everton "thanks for nothing"?
Absolutely loved that celebration, he clearly wants to push himself to shut the haters up
It is always the same, as soon as a player moves to a big club, fans dont take it well. Lukaku made it clear from the beginning he would move to a big club one day and it is not like he behaved like a dick. He gave his all for Everton for years and moved on to bigger things for a high fee, thats life. Good to see some still underappreciate him at Everton, he showed them today what a striker is.
It was more than a shushing. It was a full blown celebration.
As someone with no emotional attachment to either club, that's the unbiased POV
Such a brilliant player. So glad we bought him.
His stats flatter him somewhat. He hasn't played brilliantly.
Yeah he's not been great but service up to him remains an issue.
I get the feeling he's a bit like Chicharito reputation wise. Everyone thinks he's lethal and he's good at scoring goals but he misses a fair few easy ones.

The aggression didnt start with Lukaku. He behaved well and never said a bad thing about them. Instead of applauding him or just keeping it neutral, they had to provoke him. He just gave it back. Who cares.

Saw 'Congolese rat' thrown in there.
Small time bunch.
Please.
So fans can boo him and if he scores has to take it on the chin? Ok sure...
7 out of 7 .Enough said
But he is a striker. We bought him to score goals. He also offers more mobility than the likes of Zlatan did last season which means we are more dynamic up front. Hence why we have scored a lot of goals already. He has done his job perfectly well so far
And I saw Pogue calling them out for it...
Not sure if that's was our Pogue though.
Well, at least we know he's not letting misses get the better of him. He's got a good mentality.
His all-round game is very good and he is scoring goals regularly. Brilliant start to his ManUtd career.
So so good. We're ten times better than last season
Essentially in that I'm totally happy with his return so far, but based on the quality of his chances so far- a striker of his calibre could expect a couple of more goals. Is it unrealistic? When you go by the numbers perhaps- but if you see the games the quality of some of the chances have been fantastic. Today really he should've got 2 goals.
You're right that even someone like Messi should try to get better. However in practice not everyone adopts that mentality. I have no idea how happy Lukaku is (although he has plenty of reason to be), but many strikers would be more than happy to settle for his return.
I did not expect 7 goals in 7 games so it's not about me and my expectations. Mine have already been fulfilled and exceeded. He is one of the best finishers in the league, but why not aim to be the best? That doesn't sound daft imho. At United he's got a better supporting cast for chance creation- so naturally he might expect to yield better results.
I don't think they do. We bought him for one purpose. If we were looking for technical play and doing all sorts, we would have gone after Morata.
He's always looking to get behind defences and he scores goals. That's enough for me.
That's racist. At least the assumption.
He doesn't finesse the ball like some players, but he brings as much to the table as any other top striker in the world. In a Mourinho system, I wouldn't swap him for anybody in Europe.
Pretty sure Mourinho would.
Needs to score a hatrick soon so when he inevitably goes a couple of games without scoring then it won't affect his goal to game ratio... Don't think this 1 goal per game is really sustainable but will be glad to be proven wrong..
No. You would, and you're projecting your opinions without any basis.
He was criticised before for doing exactly that. Scoring a couple then going on large droughts. I prefer this version much better.
wow, the modern day fan
His stats flatter him? what kind of rubbish is that? he was bought to score goals, and is doing exactly that for club and country. Hell, his overall play hasn't even been bad, at all.

Pretty glad I was proven right on Lukaku. The guy even exceeded my expectations. He is a beast. Hope he keeps this form till the end of the season.
