There are times when I wish we signed that other striker.

Quality decision not letting that go out so someone could put in a crap corner.
What a weird way to take it. They are supposed to be the core, the backbone. You add extra dimension by other players, which he lost one in Fellaini in injury; no winger, no.10 in bad form or simply not up to task, full back can't cross well, injuries forcing us with a CB who doesn't have good distribution and another who being held back before he still couldn't adapt to PL...I think he's great at what he does but they sat so deep that today you surely want Rashford on the last man. My problem with Jose is he will never sub certain players (Lukaku, Pog, Matic) and we become so one dimensional. It's great when it works but we need another way of playing.
I still think he's underrated as a footballer.
For someone written off as nothing more than a poacher that was one hell of an assist today. He started running with the ball on the halfway line.
Indeed. The way he plays reminds me so much of a young, unpolished Van Nistelrooy.
He was fed on nothing today, sadly. It was like watching Brian McClair play in a carling cup game in the 90s with a bunch of kids around him. Some absolute shite performances from the likes of Lingard, Herrera, Mata, Matic, Mhikitaryan, Young etc. The assist for the goal was solely down to workrate. Lukaku's one of those players who can have a shit game and will pop up with a goal. But the last few games, the performance level of the rest of the side is doing him no favours.
We've been creating absolutely nothing for him in the past 3 games, it's really poorHe’s starving up front.
True, seems to be one of those theories that have caught on for whatever reason. He is poor on the ball though.He doesn't have bad movement.
I don’t think I’ll ever rate him.
What?Not good enough.
Actually his movement was all right and that or his apparent lack of movement is a favorite stick to beat him with. His movement wasn't the problem, he often came out for the ball, offered himself for passes and so on but our attacking play was abysmal.
Not good enough.
Agree. It's one of those things that gets repeated all the time by numerous people although it isn't true.The whole no movement thing is utter nonsense. It's a silly theory that's been talked about since his Everton days and is in the same bracket as his "bad first touch". The truth is that Everton are now totally useless upfront because they don't have the space he created by being a mobile beast that kept defenses on their toes trying to contain him. You would think he stands around doing nothing like Ibra, yet we all saw what he did for Rashford's goal against Hudders. Truth is even during his scoring run he wasn't getting much service. Contrast that to the days of say Andy Cole who would get 5-6 clean chances a game.
Huh?
Romelu Lukaku is a rubbish footballer, not good enough for Man Utd, and it sickens me he's going to be here for potentially the next 10 years.
Clearer?
