How come the whistle went early.
Europa League 2019/20
- Thread starter Camara
- Start date
He wasn't great against us. We were shooting straight at him. We made him look great.
So was it more about the rest of the team or him?
What was his return in the EPL against big teams? For Utd I think I only saw him score against Chelsea and then he was absolute cack in the FA Cup final.
Serie A is a good league for him
Both. You were poor and lacking creativity but he also made a shocking decision to bulk up which took away the best parts of his game.
Can't look past Inter winning it.
Will surely crush Seville on the counter just like they did to Shaktar in this game.

He's had a good season. I think it's clear confidence is a big thing for him. Not exactly thick-skinned. Serie A is the right league for him playing wise.
He was definitely terrible for the majority of his last season, no excuses. I criticized him a lot in it.
But looking at his career overall, in terms of stats, this season was a one off. He's not a great footballer but he's been a great goalscorer in all his career.
We still arguing about Lukaku on here? He could score 60 goals for Milan and it doesn’t matter we all watched him every week here and know he’s not good enough. There’s a different pressure and spotlight at United that lump couldn’t handle. Best decision we made giving him the boot.
Definitely wasn't happy about him bulking up. It really slowed him down and made him immobile.
shades of bayern-barcelona after the 2-0
Inter could have even scored more than 5 all things considered
Shakhtar Donetsk never were at this level, got there through a an easy draw
Getafe the best side inter have played so far

Its EL mate, only one winner and its not Inter.
Hmmm. People called him fat, but he was always very muscular. That was even evident when he used to take his shirt off after games. I think the fact that he looked a bit clumsy at times led to people discussing his weight, but he's never been anything but muscular.
Both. He didn't have the temperment for a club like utd where the expectation is high, plus we set up to get the best out of him but he was easily marked out against good teams with better and faster defenders. When Ole went with a fast mobile front 3 his days were numbered
Is it fair to say that winning the EL means far more to Inter and Sevilla then it does to us?
Phew ...I backed Inter 5-0
No why would it? It is the only title to win this season for all of us.
Absolute bag of shite. Waste of time!
Can only hope the game on Friday will be much more entertaining and equal.
Over muscular though. Great to bully defenders but you will run out of stamina. The great PL scorers are strong and quick but not heavy,
Seriously?
I think the difference is that at Everton and now at Inter his muscle mass is much leaner and defined. It's not heavy muscle but a suitable size for his frame and the power his legs in particular are capable of producing. In the second season at United he seemed to bulk up a bit more in his upper body frame in an attempt to improve his strength more when he really didn't need to.
We had the likes of fecking Basel and Copenhagen in the quarter finals.
Your love fo Kaku knows no bounds
people talking as if inter isn't a ridiculously high-pressure environment 
It's worse than United actually. Inter fans don't have nearly the patience OT fans have

Do you think he looks more trim then because he literally looks the same to me?
I bloody hope not
I think it is fair to say so.
In some countries Europa league is pretty meaningless. I also rarely watch it. Tbh I can't even name the past 3 winners while I know easily the past 35 CL/EC winner by hard.
In Germany it's even considered a loser's cup, with Beckenbauer famously stating so.
Inter on the other hand are gasping for some succes, which they might find here.
.Disagree. He was MOTM for Sevilla with a number of outstanding saves.
I see what you mean. Fair enough. The speed he showed for his goal was ridiculous.
That bulking up wasn't a Utd training programme. It's up to the players if they go and do extra weights.
What it does suggest is our strength and conditioning coaches are woeful if they let him get that big, You couldn't imagine Bundesliga coaches letting that happen
Yeah I don't agree with those pressure ideas. He actually played well for the majority and scored many goals in his first season with us. It's his second one which was crap.people talking as if inter isn't a ridiculously high-pressure environment

I think it's a combination of restoring his confidence back plus having a manager whose style suits him and knows how to get the best out of him. That's about it.
Yes ...though I also did 3-0 4-0
Just fancied Inter to win by a few ...got it right for a change
Martial has a good touch and scores goals.
Decent. What were the odds?Yes ...though I also did 3-0 4-0

Remind me to tag you next time he has a shit game so I can show you why I don’t
One or two but we did hit the ball at him or blazed wide when set up. The Martial one where we set him up at the edge of the area and 9/10 he curls it into the corner but hit it wide springs to mind
The saves weren't outstanding for me that's what I'm talking about. It was crap finishing for us imo.
Copenhagen hold us to 0-0 for 90 minutes though. They are not as shit as people made them out to be.

These sides would match lower half of the PL table easily.
Arsenal also got knocked out by Olympiakos etc.
Cluj almost knocked out Sevilla too.
IIRC Lukaku himself came out and said he bulked for the WC in 2018 (whether by himself or with Belgian advice) and he was trying to shed it mid-season with United. But that 6 months or so when he was bulky ruined the start of that 2nd season and it was difficult for him to come back from after that. A fresh start was the best thing for him and it's good on your part that you managed to recoup the fee.
