laughter aside, his demeanor there for a main striker to win in the last mins of the game is disgraceful
Romelu Lukaku | Napoli watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
He didn't even manage to move a muscle.
Is this uploaded anywhere?
As an added bonus we don’t have to worry about facing him and Sanchez in the Europa League.
I understand the fun here but there is nothing he could've done . No one is moving out from that position. I would be asking question why he - as a striker - is covering GK . He should be going for that header
Funny as it is it looked to me like the keeper would have saved it. However I havent seen a slo-mo replay so could be wrong.
Dedicate this one to Lukaku
Wow. Speechless.
Well played.What the actual feck was that all about? Why was he going and standing in an offside position just like that
To be fair without his performance against Gladbach they wouldn't even have been in the situation to still qualify for the round of 16.
But the scene in the video is still hilarious

The guys calling him the anti Michael Jordan is actually spot on
I watched that like 5 times already..
Why is everyone saying he’s offside? It’s a corner. You can’t be offside from a corner. If the delivery had been better he had a free header. As a striker finding space in the box is a good thing.
Nothing he could have done.
Aye, someone who can never be wrong about his positioning and is top 5 in the world, standing in a position no striker should be stood in during that phase of play, is perfectly top 5 material. He said he couldn't be wrong though so he must be right.
Standing there like a feckin Michaelangelo sculpture is absolutely fecking amazing work for someone who regards himself so highly.
Your comment even contradicts itself, there's nothing he could have done? Then you question his position in the first place
so there is everything he could have done. First thing would have been just standing anywhere but right Infront of goal in an offside position. Stand at the half way line, the corner, the sideline, stand in a feckin maccy D's and he couldn't have done any worse than he did.
Because he's offside after whoever it is heads it, he makes no attempt to move even after he knows he isn't getting the initial ball off the corner. Anyone with half a brain would have realised if they werent getting that ball to their head in that position they were gonna have to move. Not stand there like a spectator ffs.
"That's how you're supposed to head it?"
Infact, I'm actually curious as to if he was even thinking of getting the initial header? The corner was always an outswinger, always going to be. He was never getting it 3 yards out.
Even more weird is why did the other team just ignore the fact that he moved there? Next level defending, that's why.
Does that hold good even for being in the line of vision of the keeper?
His movement wouldn’t be top 5 in Sunday league. Mind you, that’s full of overweight, goalhangers as well.
after a pretty crap 24 hours, you can rely on Lukaku to cheer us up. He’s a cartoon.
even more funny that he stopped a Sanchez header!

you mean if the delivery has been right on top of the goalkeeper? Then the goalkeeper would have caught it! The delivery was great by the way - strong header from Sanchez, which hit the lamppost standing in the wrong place, yards offside.
easy to find space behind the last defender.
His ability to be on the wrong side of key moments is uncanny
The anti michael jordan indeed

Everyone in that picture is in action or on their toes and he’s there like he’s waiting for a bus
But he must know that any delivery is going to be put away from the keeper, so he isn’t going to be the one on the end of it. Which is fine of course, if you’re hoping to feed on any scraps from the person who does head it towards goal. If that’s the case though, you’d want to be stood onside, otherwise what’s the point?
That is because others need to see the ball and then get into the position to score. But he is already there.Everyone in that picture is in action or on their toes and he’s there like he’s waiting for a bus
Ah, genius
That's how he makes it to the top 5 strikers in the world
Nothing he could have done.

I don't think that is a goal anyway since the keeper would save it. Why he stands in that spot I have no idea about. It is offside even if he scores.
The giddy joy in this thread every time Lukaku has a bad game in a season where’s he’s scored almost as many goals as Rashford, Martial, Greenwood and Cavani combined is equal parts hilarious and embarrassing.
He didn’t work out at United and he’s far from the perfect striker but the way people are obsessed with kidding themselves that he’s genuinely shit is fecking bizarre. I know that the club doesn’t give us much joy these days but this is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I’d have a laugh at any ‘top’ striker doing that to be fair not just lukaku, the images and slow mo of him stood so casually offside blocking a potential goal in the 89th minute is bizarrely funny
He wandered into an offside position and just stood there watching while the defence moved out. Granted, there's nothing he could do about the header, it was a rocket. But the fact is he shouldn't have been stood there.
What gives me joy is how highly he rates himself, speaks of himself in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo, then 2 days later does what he does. If he didn't talk so much absolute dogshit maybe people wouldn't give him such a hard time.
He's a big gosbhite and I'm glad it's came back to bite him in the arse.
It is going to be even worse with Pogba I think once he is gone. People like to hate and find scapegoats for everything wrong.
We have had so many post SAF. Smalling, Jones, Lingard, Lukaku, Pogba, Di Maria, Shaw, Lindelöf, Sanchez etc.
Seconded,
