He has just put on weight and become sluggish.He looked knackered today after a few sprints.
How?
He's just so underwhelming. Everton is his level.

If he did that, it's a guarantee 1v1 with the keeper because the Leicester backline was knackered. Lukaku can never complain about not getting chances when he is so fecking lazy to make runs.Thanks Gilford.
This moment had me fuming. How is that acceptable at all? You're a 90m striker who's just come on to fight for your place when the team needs a goal or needs to kill time. You ought to be buzzing around dragging out everyone out of position.
In that moment you have to get in behind for a through ball. At the very least you offer some hold up while others run past you. Worst case scenario, you receive, pass back and go back to cosplaying a statue again. He did nothing, not even move towards the ball. That lazy jog once his ball was intercepted - embarrassing.
We should cut our losses as soon as possible. He's so bad he's not even a squad option. Rather see a youth academy player.
Think it was telling that Ashley Young had to fecking point at him and literally ask him to make that run. What the feck was he doing?Pretty disgraceful attitude yesterday. If Ole didn't tear a strip off him after that then he's not doing his job.
Not really. It's a centre backs job to get tight to the striker, it's the strikers job to lose them or pull them out of the way of others. If the ball is in another part of the pitch then everyone stands still and gets a few seconds rest, but when the ball comes towards you any striker worthy of the name is on the move and trying to get half a yard on his defender.You don't have to play football to understand what players are doing on the pitch. Strikers tuck themselves in between defenders all the time. While the rest of the team plays around the striker. Yes he is occupying defenders, because they can't come out and defend other players when he's there.
The fact that people are micro analysing that pass is laughable. It was just a miscommunication between Young and Lukaku.
I found the funniest thing is that he's the one who talks most about improving and fighting in the media but keeps dropping these stinkers of lazy attitude on the pitch. He has a big mouth that's for sure.
Yeah, appalling standing around like that
This guy
If he can't scare and terrorize a team which is pushing forward to score a goal late in a game then he won't be of much use to United in any other circumstance.Utterly pointless sub. Ole needs to stop using this guy from the bench to kill the game.
That was abysmal, and infuriated the shit out of me. No excuse really.
This guy
You can't but laugh at this.
I get what you're saying, I do agree Lukaku should have run to the corner to offer himself but we were holding on at this point. Young could have turned around and passed it back to whichever CM was in his position because Leicester (and we) were shattered.No he was not. They could keep their shape with no effort since he did no attempt what so ever to make a run and he was easily dispossessed when he got the ball because did not put his body between the ball and the defenders. In a situation like that you either try to make a run or hold up the ball and he did neither.
Sure, if this was an isolated incident, but its been like this all year and it was just the same vs Tottenham where he got subbed on and barely bothered to go into a light jog when his teammates were busting a gut to contain them. And having to pass back because your striker cant be bothered to move isnt really a problem a top team should be having, if we were 3-0 up then no one would have cared, but we were defending a 1-0 leadI get what you're saying, I do agree Lukaku should have run to the corner to offer himself but we were holding on at this point. Young could have turned around and passed it back to whichever CM was in his position because Leicester (and we) were shattered.
This really summed up Lukaku of late didn't it? It's the 90th minute of the game. A fresh striker who is huge and fast against tired, leggy defenders. As soon as Young receives the ball, he points as if to say "Why are you not making a run!?" and he still doesn't go even then. Even if he didn't get a goal scoring chance from it, running in behind and taking it to the corner flag would have been perfectly acceptable at that stage of the match. You can forgive a lack of quality to an extent, but you can't forgive laziness.
This guy
This is one area where I an annoyed with OGS. He said everyone would get a chance, but why not Greenwood.Greenwood should be getting minutes over him sometimes.
He is so full of himself it isn´t even funny.You can't but laugh at this.
These press statements are heavily influenced By PR for the players I believe. It comes out so ridiculous now. One can clearly see the weight and beef he has put on which has heavily affected his mobility on the pitch and performances as well. The lukaku who used to bully small clubs defences is no longer to be seen. Needs to get his act together if he has any motivation to succeed at this club.You can't but laugh at this.
Include the cup year thing he did vs arsenal when he made 2 assists when there are all the space there for him to exploit.You can't but laugh at this.
People need to just admit that they dont like him.I'm seeing this everywhere on sports forums these days. I think it's a result of many younger people are becoming fans of certain players first and foremost, before the club. That leads to over the top bashing instead of players they dislike, or are in direct competition with their player. As a result, this place doesn't look like it consists of a group of fans that support the same team. It's more like a bunch of rival fans shitting on each other. That was so obvious when only one of Radhford and Martial were starting.
This thread has turned in to a joke. Lukaku can score a hattrick and people would only talk about that one bad touch he had.
Well, he's not starting games, he's unfit, can't run, can't dribble.If rashford is going to be our long term striker then it makes more sense to play either martial or Sanchez as a back up when he is injured or suspended, in order to keep our style of play.
But Even if we keep ole as manager and decide that lukaku is surplus to requirement, I wonder if we'll be able to recoup much for him.
No they wouldn't, come on. Your argument that any criticism of Lukaku is the result of people not liking him is utter bullshit, because if you were to go back to when he was scoring and putting in respectful performances under Mourinho last season he was being lavished with praise. If Lukaku scored a hatrick and was still criticized for his poor touch, well then those posters should be named and shamed, but as it stands currently, most of the posts on here are justified by his half ass performances and fitness levels.I'm seeing this everywhere on sports forums these days.

No, He shouldn't.Should be put on the right against fulham.
That's such a lazy strawman, because then any criticism can be written off as people having hidden agendas. If Lukaku played like Ronaldo did for us in his hayday i can guarantee this thread would be nothing but praise and OTT love poemsI'm seeing this everywhere on sports forums these days.

We need lingard fresh for psg.No, He shouldn't.
Would rather give Sanchez a go at RW. We need to try and get Sanchez going (if that is even possible at this point).We need lingard fresh for psg.
Not saying that any criticism of him is a result of people not liking him, of course he hasn't been good for a while. Anyone can see that. The bashing is way over the top though because of bias imo.No they wouldn't, come on.

A shockingly apt comparison at the moment. The sharper Rashford gets, the more bear-like the big man appears. I fear for his future.Premium Jozy Altidore
