This is why our seemingly half hearted attempts at signing a proper LB and RW puzzles me. Big Rom would be devastating with service from two flanks.

HELLO
hes doing bits! I have no clue why we don't play to his strengths all the time
I see playing to his strengths as how we setup away at Arsenal. We’re not able to do it and look secure at the back.

He just needs decent service, just fecking get the players in to do it and he'll score even more than last season.

Lukaku was pretty bad during portions of our season even what it had little to do with service. Maybe he is a confidence player and then no goals = plays worse?

Anyway he started playing well and looks really good this world cup. One thing for sure that this guy is a poacher and lethal one at that. He should ever be used as a target man or deep for build up play.

How many times this season has made that exact same run only to be ignored by our wingers? Glad to see him showing his ability.

Mixture of both, I'd say.

Turning out to be quite some deadly striker. Couldn't be more wrong about him a year ago.

If he wins the Golden Boot at the World Cup, he'll be recognised worldwide as one of the best.

He’s never going to have a great first touch but he scores goals.

Poor there but would anyone be surprised if he got a hat trick today?

Has to be up there with the best strikers in the world right now. Kind of speaks to the paucity of true quality in that position relative to some of the true greats, but we certainly can't do much better right now imo.

Will be interested to see if Jose tailors our game to get the best out of him, more like what Belgium are doing.

THis Belgian team seems mouthwatering. Just hope they don’t fade out soon as they have lit up this group stage.

He is one of the best around but he is definitely half a level bellow the level of someone like Kane.

Scores a goal, comment from some United fans here he's below half the level of Kane and/or calling him average. Absolutely clueless.

We get your point, you don't rate him, you find different ways of saying that you don't rate him whenever he does anything good or bad. It's becoming tiring this.

What are you talking about? We all know if a player has a shit first touch on his weaker foot He's automatically average. :rolleyes:
