Well forget talking about Fifa & wanking
Reading this it’s like you’ve never watched him play.
Ffs Lukaku waiting for the ball to bounce to him in the box and having zero awareness of the on-rushing defender.
Couldn't agree more. It's simple for me, put the shirt on and look like you want to be here. If you come on with 20mins of football, prove in that moment regardless of where they play you that you deserve to start. Simple. Not seen that for a long time. If he wants to leave, I'd carry him on my back to where he wants to go. The problem is no one wants him even for what we paid for him he's that good.
I keep saying yes movement and pressing of lingard and Sanchez is important but in the end for forward players getting assists and goals is the most important thing. Lukaku is not absolved of his mistakes but lingard and Sanchez are not reducing any goal scoring pressure off of him. How many times in a match do they look like they are about to score? Not many times at all
Didn't he do the whole come off the bench and win his spot in the team thing last year. It's nice pretending that last season didn't happen.whether you like it or not 20 minutes here and there is not a proper chance. If he was the first forward off the bench every week like Rashford then you would have a case
If he goes for the ball there are 2 outcomes there, it's either he goes for it and shields it and boly barges on him resulting in a pen or he shields and shoots
Precisely this. There is a hell lot of Lukaku bashing going on even in the Lukaku's thread, most of which is unwanted. Yes, he had a bad game and should be criticized for that miss, but Lingard and Sanchez are just piling on more pressure on Lukaku for goals, by not helping themselves.
Yeah Rashford and Anthony were a lot of help to him last year
Pretty sure Martial was keepung up with him in terms of goal ratio before Sanchez arrived.
Or get to it and volley with his left before it touches the ground. In any case, it was a great chance to score or use his body to get a penalty. Instead he remained static waiting for the ball to reach him, comical. Kind of reminds me of Valencia running out of ideas and bouncing around a stationary ball as if hoping for his markers to scare away and give him space to play into.
Yes and proved successful at it, as did Rashford so more of the same please. If you have a player that could win you football matches, contribute to winning trophies and save you your job, wouldn't you play him? If you then aren't playing him, there is a significant reason why. Either you don't rate him in the same way others do or I suspect if he's not doing what's asked of him off the pitch, you are rewarding him on it as it sets a unhealthy precedent. Also Martial doesn't work hard enough without the ball and so he'll never be a Jose player. Jose will always look to Rashford before Martial for that reason alone....
Incredible piece of skill! Remember spotting Lukaku not even going for it and being furious
Fellaini's reaction pretty much mirrored all of oursIncredible piece of skill! Remember spotting Lukaku not even going for it and being furious
Awful anticipation from Lukaku.
If I were him, I would have actually went and slapped Lukaku on his face after this.
Yeah but Sanchez runs around a lot and Martial looks disinterested or something..
Fergie kept rotating his teams constantly, there were no favourites and everyone felt they had an opportunity. That's probably why everyone gave 100% for him and we rarely, if ever, heard about players being unhappy.
Seeing that again and.. damn! Magic flick.
We started the last season pretty well, scoring goals in plenty. Martial in specific had around 20 odd goals + assists, if I am not wrong.
I agree. He will almost fall flat on his face but I think we should try him up front. If he doesn't show significant improvements then he will be sold at the end of this season imo.
Who would buy him from you ?
Well Spurs have been after him for the last three years.Who would buy him from you ?
