To be fair to him, he's not as bad as he is showing now. He's not good, and never has been. At least, not good enough for us.
Giggs was on the EPL channel broadcast so it's probably true,
That's something he can improve though. Yes, his lack of natural anticipation means he won't be great at it. However, with some dedicated training he could become competent at it. Even Rooney said he improved that with Mike Phelan coaching him. It can be done. Unless he thinks he doesn't have to. I dunno.
That bit is quite remarkable. He's such a big, giant pussy.
It was the same at Everton. He would often frustrate with his inability to use his size and strength, which again makes the way we use him here so very, very stupid.
I remember Blind used to dominate him whenever we played them.
Even a blind man can dominate him now.
Even if he played without being marked, he'll dominate himself.
That's one of the reasons I didn't want him! Blind who was supposedly not strong and too slow for the EPL only needed to use his lovely football brain to hamstrung him. Then I thought, what would other defenders do to him in the Champions League for example?
We signed him on the hope he's going to take it to the next step with a big move, but the idiot went on and bulked even more muscles on to make himself even shittier, unbelievable.
To be fair, we played them three times that season and Blind only dominated him once (that's still once too many though). In the second game it was Smalling who absolutely took Lukaku out of the game, and then in the third one Lukaku actually gave Blind quite a lot of trouble.
Lukaku has done nothing here except proving everyone's doubts about him right mate. You can't say we weren't talking about his shite first touch and poor technique when he was at Everton. We signed him based on hope he's going to take it into the next step, but he failed miserably to do that. He just proved that he's midtable quality and Everton was his own true level.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's good enough. But we're using him completely wrong so he's looking far worse than he is.
what story ?
He refused to play incase something happened him and he missed out on the World Cup
Yeah, something is truly fecked up with his understanding of footballDafuq
Look, in big teams you'll always play against parked buses without much space. As a striker of a big club you'll always be asked to play well with your back to the goal and have a good touch and close control in tight situations and under tight pressure. See his goals at Everton, these amount of space he was running in, he'll never find it while playing for a big club because everyone park the bus against them, unlike what they do against Everton, and he was usually getting dominated by any decent defender while playing there as well.
Thought he put the weight on at the advice of his NT coach?
Should never have sold blind he would be our best center half if here. Mentally aware and composed
Nah he probably does (I mean, he can't possibly be that stupid that he doesn't see that), he's just one of the people Mourinho won't criticize in public because he's got the "right attitude" or some bullshit. And the "right attitude" seems to be kissing Jose's ass at every opportunity.
