Well technically that finish was a first touchAway with you, this thread is for discussion about his first touch

when I saw this live I remember having my mouth open in disbelief for a complete minute. I know that there will be better first touches out there, like bergkamps (but I didn’t see that live) but this touch and Berba turn on the touch line will always keep him as a player I admired. Just class.I particularly love the use of that smiley — it’s as if he just did this.
@GifLord I'm dying to see it
I think it would have been blocked. Although a massive miss anyway.
Yep and it’s all good stuff, glad we agree.Tbf Greenwood's been doing stuff like that all season, he's silky smooth on the ball, constantly pulling 180° turns etc.
You never disappoint That was horrific
We can only meet Inter in the final.All setting up for Inter, Lukaku, Young, Sanchez reunion against Utd in the Europa? Think can only be in the semi or final due to the draw ?
Nice finish for his goal yesterday and of course an awful miss, though was on his other foot. Was having a go at Lautaro at times as well, attitude . He's turned out better than I would have imagined when at Chelsea. Really suits more direct football. Like technically inferior version of Drogba. Conte getting the best out of him.
When Lukaku was playing for Everton, he was effectively marked out of the game by freakin Paddy McNair. I'm sure our current backline is much better.Wow some of you do enjoy a Lukaku miss that's for sure. You just know that he would score against us if we meet.
Surely disappointed? I get that you're Belgian and support him, but it's never nice seeing anyone score against your team.I don't know how I'd feel if he scored against us....
Bad..?I don't know how I'd feel if he scored against us....
Can’t believe he’s playing for Boro now, Sunderland before that. He gave out the most Rio vibes of any United centre back since Rio himself in those games against West Ham and Everton. Hope he can at least get back to the Prem.When Lukaku was playing for Everton, he was effectively marked out of the game by freakin Paddy McNair. I'm sure our current backline is much better.
Just for the memory
Just can't stop laughing whenever I see thisI don't have twitter but i'm going to assume the replies were gifs of the hundreds of times the ball has bounced off him like a donkey? Inter really don't help themselves do they.
Something like this:

Or you know. His first touch being so bad he injures himself:
You forgot the pointing afterHad this moment in the same match
Dummied it right ?
God I fecking hate it when he does that. Fecks up, then starts gesticulating at his teammate(s), like their perfect ball to him was the problem, and not his horrendous touch or erratic finishing.You forgot the pointing after
Leave him alone he was trying to pick out his team mate
I always liked Paddy. He seemed to have it all, the size, aerial power and the passing ability. Baffles me how he fell off.When Lukaku was playing for Everton, he was effectively marked out of the game by freakin Paddy McNair. I'm sure our current backline is much better.

A 20-something social media person working from home doing twitter for Inter: "Hey, pretty nice touch, I'll tweet it out using a meme format. It'll be funny." Never giving it a second thought, blasting out 48 tweets, not counting retweets, since. Also doing Facebook and Instagram.Still recovering from the toe curling cringe of that Inter tweet. I'd probably shoot and control the ball like Lukaku with my toes still curled over.
They've been sat on the tweet for a year too.
So someone working in social media doesn't consider the engagement with their social media posts?A 20-something social media person working from home doing twitter for Inter: "Hey, pretty nice touch, I'll tweet it out using a meme format. It'll be funny." Never giving it a second thought, blasting out 48 tweets, not counting retweets, since. Also doing Facebook and Instagram.
Redcafe still not over it.
He rarely scores against top 4 opposition or big games. So the odds are against him.Wow some of you do enjoy a Lukaku miss that's for sure. You just know that he would score against us if we meet.
At best he is a good player on his day. His consistency, first touch and mentality are very poor.He's a very good player. The kind that can make a difference where a bit of brutishness and physicality is required. A classic Mourinho style centre forward. Valuable, effective and able to score a lot of goals. To not rate him highly is a huge mistake. He's a terrific striker.
But I'm also ecstatic that he doesn't play for us anymore. He would be totally out of place here. And I love that. Get Sancho and our attack will soon be the envy of the world.
He was really bad at United. It was the wrong club for him. I was relieved when we managed to sell him.At best he is a good player on his day. His consistency, first touch and mentality are very poor.
We could if only Lukaku would share his food.feed the masses!
You do not have to go on the thread then.The obsession with Lukaku in this forum is nauseating.
Lukaku is fat or what?We could if only Lukaku would share his food.
