Looking at him against Valencia he already seems to have got rid of a great deal of the excess weight. Certainly looked more the part and did move better. Still nowhere near good enough though!
This isn't the NFL Romelu. Why would you do such a thing?https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/dec/09/romelu-lukaku-world-cup-belgium-manchester-united
I gotta say that I thought some caftards were over playing the issue ( I couldn't tell the difference).
So true he (and every other footballer) should realise how privileged to get payed for doing something they love.Sorry but there’s no excuse. He’s a professional footballer; thousands of boys across the country would give their left arm to be in his position and would make sure they keep on top of their fitness levels if that’s what it takes.
Going to be hard to shift him on those wages. Can't see an elite club coming in for him and he is going to have to take a massive wage reduction. Cant see many clubs paying his £200,000/week wage. Which is crazy considering Lewandowski is on 225,000 euros.Lukaku is the worst striker I’ve seen playing for Man Utd.
He’s also one of the worst overall players if you count in other positions.
How does one play for Manchester United lacking the basic skills is beyond me.
It’s embarrassing to watch.
Funny thing is I really like him, but on footballing reasons I can’t wait for him to leave the club.
I'd like to see the improvements before I die tbf.Our club is behind on so many areas that this should not be suprising. One a positive note: New people coming in(DoF(we can dream), manager, coaches) can easily find elements to improve.

Needs to bulk up
Well, how old are you?I'd like to see the improvements before I die tbf.
Not dying yet, just meant watching today's performance I wouldn't be surprised if it took a lifetime to see us back to the level we aspire to.Well, how old are you?
That's a good point. He seems to always be ahead or behind when the ball is in the air and can't judge where it is. I think he didn't win one aerial duel todayHis lack of spatial awareness is astonishing, how can he not track the ball in the air? Wouldn't surprise me if he needed a CT scan
Totally agreed. By no means do I think he should be disregarded like a lot of people do. It's obvious you can't just keep playing a player with fitness and confidence issues and hope it will all magically come back, a bit like Shaw's case, although then, the same people were going mad for him being benched. If he's in poor form in more ways than one, playing him in a hoofball formation in total isolation won't do any good.World cup hangover and overplayed in the last year and a half. He was playing 90 minutes constantly when he should have been subbed. He was basically playing once a week at Everton. We went far in the cup competitions and was playing European football, without rest. Then the extra muscle put on made him even slower. He looks exhausted, Fergie would have took that man out of the team for a month. Give him a holiday and trainer to recharge. He's been basically played though this awful form for 90 minutes again when he's offering nothing. Comes back to bad management again. Talking shite in the media doesn't help when he ain't performing. Poor rotation and fatigue mixed with lack of confidence has caught up.
This is truly one of the most horrific threads on the Caf.Can we rename this thread the "Casual racism is acceptable" thread?
