Because he is playing at the very top level of world football and scoring loads of goals while we roll around in mediocrity?
We are hardly creating anything at the moment. No idea how Lukaku would have helped. The last time we created good chances but our attacking players didn’t take them was against Sevilla. However it’s not like Lukaku didn’t miss chances against the same team in the final.
United have made many mistakes over the years, buying Lukaku was one of them, selling him wasn’t but you are entitled to disagree.

England have such a better team that could be fielded than this.

Not rating Southgate at all any more.

On another note, Maguire has looked more himself, much better on the ball.

Or just rightly praising him because he's been the best player on the pitch by a million miles?
Exactly. Lukaku really showing what a proper player he is.
England only tactic is lumping it up to Calvert-Lewin.
Zero creativity in midfield.

I'd take Mount off for Grealish, been really unimpressive today. Trent looks lost outside of Klopp's system, Southgate needs to give him a call to see how to get the best out of him.

Comfortably better than you guys imo , scoreline doesnt reflect the game. I hate Henderson.
Can’t really argue against that. Do not like this 5-3-2 we’re playing. It’s awful. We need to get Sancho and Grealish on for Walker and Mount.

He's a bully. Scores when he's on the dominant team. Ashley Young & Sanchez play for them. That is the real level he's playing at.

He'd not get in any prem top 6.

It looked like a bizarre lineup and surprise surprise its played like one.

Southgate's got too much great talent to choose from in certain positions, he's clueless.

Trent in as good as he is because of how Klopp plays. He'd be average at most other clubs.

That is not a slight on him, plenty of ex United players would fall in that catagory too.

put Trent in CM switch to 433, then we'll have a player in midfield that can carry the ball forward and run at pace

I argued on another thread he 'is' a CM. I believe it would be his best position in any setup other than with Klopps Lpool.

Passing to him would be a start.
