This guy
Was looking for this. Thanks. Absolutely shocking attitude in the final minutes of a narrow game.
I don't know
from my personal experience, it's always been the opposite.Touché. Slipped a disc (C5) last August which totally fecked up my left shoulder, bicep and pec. Couldn’t train until the end of October and I’m still months off properly rebuilding my left side. I lost muscle extremely fast after the injury. Bizarre comment.
He shouldn't have put on so much weight anyway.
He's a professional athlete that can barely move, it's disgraceful
He didn’t react to the pass, which seemed to be because he didn’t know what young was going to do with it. He wanted the ball earlier and Young held it prior to that, which could have lead to the confusion.
He didn’t.
Martial was considerably more involved, so no, it won’t be.
I like Lukaku. I’ve defended him more than most. But that was fecking atrocious. Denying this is wilful ignorance.
Might be time to cut our losses. Rashford can do all he can and much more, and I would also much rather play Martial through the middle. Will still only be 26 in the summer, so we should be able to get a decent fee.

Nothinf left in the tank, should have come off
All one needs to do is basically stop training

I really don't understand. He comes on at a point where we clearly need some energy and urgency to switch things around, and I presume Ole told him as much, he's supposedly trying to compete for a place in the starting line up, he must feel like he has a lot to prove, and he should be the player on the pitch with the most energy.
And then he just either jogs for 2 seconds or stands completely still, and when he has a chance to score 2-0 and secure three crucial points, his effort at goal is as casual and lackluster as it would be on a lazy Sunday morning training?
I just don't get it.

Agreed, he should have made a run to the right side on that attack.
We shipped the wrong player to China.
Utterly pointless sub. Ole needs to stop using this guy from the bench to kill the game.
Come on, you’re all being unfair to him. How can you expect him to make runs when he needs to conserve his energy to point at where his teammates should play the ball? No one in the team points quite like him. It’s an essential role in our attack

This was fecking infuriating
He did except for the one moment where he was unsure what to do when Young had the ball. But that'll be used to tear him down regardless of whatever else he did.Thought he did fine.
Yup. After the first 4 weeks out of his gym my left side had gone to shit. I couldn’t believe how fast it happens.
At this point, I believe that he doesn't give a damn about looking like footballer. He doesn't even pretend to walk toward the ball.
Not when passing IIRC. Mostly with his touch.
Honestly thought buying a twenty a season striker would be good for us because he could help us batter the lower placed teams (something we've struggled with) and would be a good edition upfront, would hopefully build a relationship with Pogba due to their friendship and turn those 1 points into 3. His deficiencies of technique and build up play wouldn't be an issue because I hoped his touch would be a shot on goal (box player etc).
How on earth he scored so many goals for WBA and Everton I have no idea. He isn't an athlete, has zero stamina and I would back myself in a fifty fifty against him solely because of how weak he seems. I still stand by developing early and outsizing players at lower aged groups meant he could easily hide his complete lack of technique and he could steamroller smaller players and score bucket loads.
I've never seen someone so big be utterly bullied, dominated by so many mediocre and smaller centre backs and they are not even resorting to the darker arts, solely just by doing the basics of defending.
Bear with me here but look at someone like Paul Dickov, small, not very talented, utterly bullied defenders, wasn't especially quick either. Look at Dean Ashton, an utter handful, again not fast and smaller than Lukaku. Drogba, would dominate two centre backs on his own. Mitrovic, awkward and difficult. Costa nightmare to play against.
Lukaku has based his game on getting in behind but really lacks the mobility to keep making runs and pulling defenders around, coincided with a less than clinical finishing pedigree and what you have is someone who could be plying his trade a league below.
Should of realised when 5'10'', 75kg Daley Blind kept him quiet on the regular.

Lazy as f*ck.
I don't know, I've always thought his passing can lack the right pace and be wayward. Like you say his touch isn't good, he mostly doesn't get the opportunity to pass the ball.
Lukaku off the bench doesnt offer much, especially when we are under the cosh and need someone to hold the ball up.
Disgusting incident there with young when he should be fresh and giving options.

He has to either start making those runs he's supposedly so good at, or/and hang around in the box to use his movement to get on the ball, OR improve his hold up play. He isn't offering us anything at all like he's playing now.
Yes, Martial wasn't too good either, but at least he's able to get running to take some pressure of us. Rom seems to have completely lost his way.

Get rid.
He has his flaws but you make him sound like he won a competition to be here, he scored 27 goals last season at United itself.
Rest of the post isn't even worth replying to, just utter drivel. Like feck you'll win a 50-50 against him.
This guy
This was ducking shite. What a useless lump. I was screaming at home watching this
It does my head in when commentators still spout this lunacy about how Lukaku would help our team keep the ball.
On an unrelated subject, I really miss Blind. We could do with his versatility
He's not supposed to react to the pass. He's supposed to make a run and dictate the pass. That's what strikers do. Young was screaming at him to move.
A complete joke when he came on. You simply cannot defend that play when young had the ball and this clown was pointing to his feet 30 yards away from goal.
Think about Adriano, it happens.
I can't see him getting in the team any time soon.
This guy
That was baffling, but otherwise I thought he did ok for a short cameo. Surprised to see the lack of urgency, he should be making runs and providing options for our pressured midfield.
He won't be sold this season, but next season has to be make or break. If he comes back unfit in August he should be put on the transfer market immediately.
Side question, do you make gifs like these for all players, or just the ones you have issues with? I stand corrected if you're this active in the Martial thread.
I found the funniest thing is that he's the one who talks most about improving and fighting in the media but keeps dropping these stinkers of lazy attitude on the pitch. He has a big mouth that's for sure.
Had a couple of good moments but I want more from him. He's coming to the ball too often. At one point, Young had to tell him to move. Just want more urgency from him.
Did a passable impression of a telegraph pole. Had one good chance to score and a good chance to put in a telling cross.
I would cut him some slack if he played the entire 90 minutes, but he came on the pitch a couple of minutes before that scene. And not to forget, he should be showing the manager and the fans he deservies a place in the first team. Oh, and to try to justify a bit of that transfer fee that was paid for him.
