Yep because pointing out people look alike is certainly racism, Jesus wept the world
I've been struck by the likeness too.Yep because pointing out people look alike is certainly racism, Jesus wept the world
The first two are linked I think. Can’t help but feel had we got someone better than Lukaku in the summer, the attack as a whole would be more coherent, and José would be coming under less fire. The more you think about it you realize Lukaku doesn’t fit the profile of a Mourinho striker at all. He’s just big, but he doesn’t hold the ball up well at all, as Jose usually needs in his lone striker system. So yeah I think they’re both linked.
Because he is a big, strong lad who can fight for each ball on the ground or in the air. Anti-Mata basically, however, he is not getting it right at the moment. There are easy ways to solve it, but he is still in our 6-yard box being a danger to our own team lately. If it is on Mou or Rom or coaches, I do not know.
That doesn't automatically make him a good defender bro. By that logic if your GK is a good at heading the ball would you ask him to come on for the corners?
No, because you don't have anyone who can handle the ball with their hands on the other side. While Rashford or Martial are better and faster at running at the ball on the counter
I guess, I did not word it properly. I do not think Lukaku should be anywhere around our 6 yard box after recent demonstration of his skills there. I was just trying to explain possible Mou's thinking behind it. As posters said, RvP would also come often back to our box to defend set pieces and was great at it.
Utd have not spent £75 million for him to only score goals. They are investing in the whole package, press from the front, hold the ball up, link with the rest of the team, run the channels. Part of his job is to do a defensive job for the team when they need him.
Nothing wrong with that, as he is a striker. What is wrong is that why do we still trust him on set piece defending? Defending the far post is the most difficult and important job, so there is no-one good enough for the job other than him? Instead of training him to be a good defender, should he be working on his shooting skill etc. to be a better striker?
I’d say your logic is pretty mint, bang on. But as with just about everything, there’s always an exception to the rule. Something which defies logic. In this case, it’s our big Belgian CF
Aye but just a week or so before City, he had almost an identical incident against Arsenal. Once or maybe twice might be bad luck, but it’s happened a bit to probably constitute a bit of a valid concern.
Surely nothing racist about pointing out that 2 people look alike?
No, first priority has to be anyone who's done their groin (ahem - sorry Smalling) to be well away from our box!
I don't disagree that Mourinho is at fault here. I'm pretty fecking sure we'll Lukaku defending on set pieces still. Mourinho can be stubborn like that and in all logic this is fecking crazy, Lukaku should be an asset, not someone else to watch out for
SAF used to bring in Berba even to defend against set pieces. He is a very good header of the ball. Lukaku is a menace I agree. City was not the first time. DeGea bailed him out against Arsenal. Then the Burnley second goal was also Lukaku getting involved.
