He was absolute rapid at the end there. That was unbelievable in the 92nd minute.
Ruud scored a similar goal vs Fulham, not Arsenal.Rolled over the memory of Nistelrooy against Arsenal.
He's actually an huge United fan.The most obvious "come and get me, Ed" plea you can see. He might as well post a picture of himself in United shirt.
Yeah. I'm that desperate.
You mean that solo run goal? I don't think Lukaku has it in him.Ruud scored a similar goal vs Fulham, not Arsenal.
Really? fecking hell!! What else are we waiting? Do we wait until other big clubs sniffing around?He's actually an huge United fan.
I think we're just cautious trying to get a player from PSG. Barcelona unsettled Verrati and paid the price.Really? fecking hell!! What else are we waiting? Do we wait until other big clubs sniffing around?
And don't forget the one that Chelsea saved. He was a sight to behold today. As good as he was bad in January.That last minute run was huge. Where did he get that speed from.
Yeah. Tbf if I were him, I'd stay at PSG for a while.I think we're just cautious trying to get a player from PSG. Barcelona unsettled Verrati and paid the price.
Lukaku was fantastic today. That cross for Lingard was top drawer.
Really though? I would have thought they would go for Neymar regardless.I think we're just cautious trying to get a player from PSG. Barcelona unsettled Verrati and paid the price.

The team doesn't play to his strengths, despite him being a physical specimen - he is not a target man, and he is quite shit with his back to goal. Play him where he runs into space and he can be devastating.That burst right there demonstrated what we need from him - all too often doesn't use his raw strength and power to his advantage but when he does he's hard to handle.
From what I can remember there was a story that they might not have bothered otherwise. When Neymar's agent approached them, they thought it was just the kind of hissy fit Ronaldo goes through every other year and that Neymar would stay regardless and so normally wouldn't bother pushing for him but they were annoyed at Barcelona so went for it, figuring that even if he stayed they would have driven up his wages. Might have been complete bollocks.Really though? I would have thought they would go for Neymar regardless.
That moment was epic! This and his perfect bicycle kick that Courtois saved. I was astonished seeing both. What a game ha had.Even though he did score the first and beautifully create the second goal, his burst towards the end was my favourite part. Showed what his true power can be.
Not at all. Full marks for what he did today but he is far from world class. I still don't think he is good enough to spearhead our line but is a very good striker to have and could prove me wrong.World Class.
Yeah that's bollocks, PSG have been after him forever and they were ready to go after him this summer too. The only thing is that Neymar already told them that he was going to join them only to stay and commit with Barcelona, so PSG allegedly told him that he was alone on that one, their offer is on the table but he has to do the job to leave Barcelona, they will just pay. Verratti had nothing to do with it, Barcelona already tried that with Marquinhos and Thiago Silva.From what I can remember there was a story that they might not have bothered otherwise.

That's what I liked the most about this game, we didn't try to use him as a target man, he just played his game.Wasn't asked to do as much with his back to goal, definitely made a difference. While not a fearsome dribbler, he's better running onto the ball and putting defenders on the back foot. The midfielders did a much better job of finding him and he rose up, great to see.
It's decent. He cost £75 million. If he can finish the season with 30+ goals then it'd have been an acceptable season, which he should achieve with our remaining games. We still need him to go up another level though.Impressed with Rom today, worked his socks off, didn’t hide, scored and created the winner. IMO most strikers would struggle to score the way we play and the chances we create - fair play 20 goals is a great return.
Oh yeah, the scissor kick was incredible as well! I hope the players behind him can create more opportunities for him to run on to the ball like he did at the end, giving him the time and space to show his pace and power.That moment was epic!
