The absolute minute studying of ever element of every player from so many outlets sums up how hard it is to be a United player.
I wasn’t implying that we do, but that we need to buy a quality striker. I’d expect Martial or Rashford to do better than him given any scenario though.
From that distance with the way the ball was set up a top forward like RVP or Rooney or Kane or even Rashford would have taken a shot at goal, because they would have had enough confidence in their ability to pull it off. Not saying they would have scored, probably gone off target 7/10 times but at least they would back themselves. Lukaku knows he doesn't really have that ability to do the extraordinary and we need a CF who has that to regularly win major trophies again.
This is really reaching. Congrats
It's the simple truth. Lukaku has been here for 1.5 years. Can you remember him pulling any remarkable piece of skill or scoring a goal out of nothing in that time? Can you realistically fathom him scoring a goal like Aguero did the other night?
Was laughing. The guy does not trust himself.
Is that supposed to be a good enough return ? We want a +30 goals striker with at least 20-25 goals in the league.
And zero goals on the CL, and zero goals against any top sides. That’s not good enough.
I mean yeah, we could disregard the fact that the team collectively shat their pants for half the season, but football usually happens with context.
Or just one of his usual ones...
He scored 25+ in each of his last three. Two of those playing for Everton. The idea that his form wasn't significantly better in the past few seasons is just dumb.
League goals? And yes both seasons where he was incredibility streaky and went on long runs of games scoring 0. What I am saying is it is not unusual for him to go on steaks of games scoring 0.
Except Hernandez had a knack for scoring against the best teams. Ran riot against Chelsea especially, but bagged quite a few against Liverpool too.
Lukaku can do the same now we're playing more attacking football, just depends how he reacts to starting on the bench more often, but maybe too bigger name/wages to do it long term, unlike Hernandez.
Haha still funny, he had so much time & space to control the ball with either his chest or his feet, it's quicker, effective & easier way than what he attempted. Proof that he shouldn't be anywhere near in our XI right now, he's just going to slow us down. He can use his goal instinct as a super sub or plan B.
The idea is he can still improve, he's 25 after all. I don't know how many strikers managed 25 league goals in a non top 6 team.
Hernandez has a good movement while Lukaku is static that he was able to bagged those goals against top teams. Lukaku is basically Hernandez with physical strength & power but less movement.
Not many I thought that was his best season. He hasn't come close to that before or after don't think he has managed 20 before or after that. Still even in that season he went missing.
Even if he scores 30 goals he isnt good enough. And the best example i can provide to you of this is mario gomez, who despite scoring many goals in bayern was binned for mandzukic...a player who scores less goals but contributes more to the team.
I hope you’re all right but the last two games when he’s had them both on the pitch now, Rashford's been pushed out wide. Lukaku has also scored in both.
Can't win, can he? Almost like there was ready-made argument waiting for his performances under Ole. In case he would continue not scoring: 'See, even Ole can't change that lump' If he started scoring and actually looking useful in our front three formation: 'Well he scored against some cannon fodder but he still fecks up all the moves' etc.The best was after Newcastle where he basically won it after coming on, played a massive part in getting the second and would've added another one to his tally had it not been for Pogba's brainfart. All in 30 minutes at best.
I rate both of them highly but there is literally nothing to point to which would tell you they are equally good goal scorers. Lukaku has over 100 Premier League goals and is Belgium's top scorer of all time having turned 25 not long ago.
He's our topscorer ffs, wake up!!
Yeah its pretty weird. The clubs own fans having a go at their own player for no reason other than to be the biggest billy bollocks having a go at their own player.
People are just here to whiff their own farts and continue their own negative self fulfilling prophecies. It isn't half obvious.
It's not good enough of a return whatever the whole team was shite or not. We can talk about reasons for that that's another thing though.
We did not have the right manager i think you seems to forget that? If you can't see Lukaku is shining under he's new boss ok good for you who cares.
They are scared thats why.
Well sure give me 25 goals in the league and I will support him why not ?
His link up play is poor. Fact. What's the problem if people point it out? Is it difficult to accept his weaknesses?
The lad scored 25+ goals two seasons running for Everton with virtually all of them in the league. He's Belgium's top scorer. Apparently he's the problem, because we don't have a history of buying big names and utilizing them incorrectly right?
