Tonight has been such a Lukaku performance so far, he's scored one but he's missed plenty of chances and his all round game is still awful.

I maintain selling him was the correct decision, it was not bringing in another striker that was the mistake.

This place is going to be top for entertainment when inter eventually plays Utd in the Europa League. It's written in the stars that Lukaku will silence Old Trafford. The meltdown will be apocalyptic.
Anyway there's some quality opposition coming to the EL with possibly Ajax, Inter and Salzburg. Hopefully utd is up for it, it's the biggest prize to win at the moment.
Lukaku scored 3 goals against United when he was at West Brom, so what's your point? He can score goals, we know that too. But he's the worst United CF the past 20 or 30 years who was asked to be in the starting XI...in their prime. The way United wanted to play under Ole wasn't going to work with Lukaku who is a good goal scorer, but his technical ability as a footballer isn't good and is very inconsistent. His ability to bring others into the game without scoring is very inconsistent as well.

Him potentially scoring against United with Inter wouldn't change anything and would only feed into his narrative of self-preservation.

Barca are there for the taking. If only Inter had their first choice midfield. Lukaku really should have scored at least one more, it was his atrocious touch that made him take the ball too far when he received that great pass by Lautaro.

Lautaro Martinez will be the next great striker as the likes of Suarez, Lewandowski get older. Everything about him screams world class.

He's been really poor. So glad we don't have to deal with the frustration of watching the ball bounce off him any more

Lukaku’s laziness there, turning into a nightmare for him.

Two disallowed goals, gotta feel bad for Inter. On the plus side, falling into Europa would mean they'll have a better chance of winning the league.

Perez hands Inter a lifeline. Feel like Barca will score on the counter since Inter will have to throw everyone forward now.
