Feck me. I hate picking on players but this guy makes it hard.
Abysmal.
 
Of course he didn't do much but when you have one defender behind you and the ball in front of you any decent player should be able to control it.
But he couldn't.
 
Just can’t do one thing right. This myth about playing through bad form, there is no form to get back. He is in the wrong team, he would have done better at Chelsea.
 
Did nothing wrong today, people are getting pathetic with the criticism.

So you’re saying that nobody is entitled to the opinion that he’s not good enough because he, in your view, did nothing wrong? this is a forum, if you don’t like opposing opinions maybe it’s best you go elsewhere.
 
Played okay. Fulham were there for the taking but his poor off the ball movement meant he hardly got into threatening positions.
 
It's not about what he did wrong, it's about what he doesn't do.
 
He did well for the penalty, coincidentally from a wide right position (more or less) but he was crap otherwise. A nice healthy balance between crap and anonymous.
 
The club will surely think about cutting their losses in the summer and selling for circa £50m. If we could convince him to go back to Everton, we could probably get most of our money back.
 
Hes even lacking the basics now. Very poor today. Just imagine how many we would have scored with a mobile and more technically gifted player playing at number 9 today. He couldnt even hold the ball up with his back to one defender. Abysmal.
 
a terrible fit for this team, hope hes sold in the summer but don't see any club paying the fee/wages required
 
He was terrible today. The ball just bounces off him also his link up play is shocking, when he needs to play the ball with pace he does the opposite and plays a slow pass and vice versa.

He’s built up all this muscle but he gets pushed of the ball to often.
 
Nothing wrong with his workrate today (he put in the miles) but he’s well out of form. Nothing he does is really coming off and he sticks out like a sore thumb in this current team.
 
Seems a bit lacking in confidence. I think a confident Lukaku would have been a bit more aggressive and taken a couple of more shots on goal.

Performance wise, he did well considering he didn’t bag a goal. Hoping he has some goals in him during this upcoming week.

Where did I say people are not allowed an opinion?
 
I’m not kidding you Fellaini was better than him. It’s painstaking to watch him so much reminds me of JM team. It’s unbelievable how much of a different player he is from when he was Everton.
 
Worrying. We absolutely dominated Fulham and did he even get a single shot off? Aside from a very flukey penalty he was anonymous.
 
He was decent today , still way behind what we expect out of a striker. I am hopeful if he'd come good next season after a proper summer break but don't have high hopes.
 
He's changing my mind to be fair to him.

I used to think he could be a decent squad player, but he doesn't bring anything to the side that you would want him to. I would cut out loses.
 
Was hoping Pogba would give the penalty to him tbh.

Think it would be for the best if we parted ways this upcoming summer.
 
Just not good enough.

Did well with the turn for the penalty but then showed a lack of confidence by passing instead of taking a shot.

I'd sell him in the summer
 
He wasn't that bad, worked a bit harder and was causing problems for their defenders. He had no confidence though - It's clear to see.

Can see him moving back to Everton in the summer. Seems a logical move for all.
 
He is just too big. Even closer to his Everton weight his technical limitations would create issues but lumbering around like this he just looks entirely out of place.

Is there a future for him at Utd? I don't see it, not as if he offers a aerial option to mix things up, he just slows down the play, is far too passive and static.
