Leno closed the angle really good. He was behind his back.
In his last 3 games he scored while we hardly played well to be fair. Mostly you're right, though.
His overall game was really good, but just unable to convert several chances in which he couldve/shouldve won the game for us. Would be similar to a CB playing the ball around great, spraying passes, but then losing his marker for a couple goals. Sometimes the negative outdoes a greater amount of good unfortunately. Not gonna help his record against the top 6 that he has.
Played superbly, Leno had a top game will be most disappointed with his first chance and that one Rashford thread through to him.
Good improvement and should push on

He did say "expect", not reality.
The one in the second half was the big chance. He played well up until the finish though.
Awful. Not good enough and never has been. My only fear with Ole as a permanent manager is he might not be ruthless enough.
Playing well might not be the best way to describe it, we've scored 9 in the last 3 and created chances freely. Lukaku's limitations come in those games where we create one or two chances at best, and they're the games that win you the league.
The cross from Shaw at 0-0 and the through ball from Rashford at 1-0.
He closed him once he controlled it I thought.
I just thought it was there to be hit first time and maybe Lukaku thinks he should have now too. Just different opinions I guess
I don't think he had time to hit it 1st time.
Can't remember the 2nd one, what happened?
That probably won't happen. It's more likely that Martial will continue of the bench.

Against PSG, 3 shots, 3goals.
Today was an unlucky day. Nothing more.
Since when MU has dominated a game against a top 6 like today ??
I think it was a great game.
He was really good today. If he plays each match like this, he will score a lot of goals and assist a bunch.
I couldn't say it better.

Strikes me as a player who needs time to think about what he is going to do. He is not like Van Nistelrooy who was a fox in the box and was able to rely on his instinct.
That first chance, it is actually harder to miss than to score. What is hardest of all is to hit the crossbar. he simply has to just tap it in.
Rashford or Martial or Lingarrd would have scored it i feel.

That one moment where his first touch was so good, even he didn't expect it

Lukaku was better than Pogba.
Yeah when he’s running into the box with the ball at his feet he can find the corner beautifully.
He’s not that instinctive flick out a boot and direct it into the net type.
Maybe not nimble enough.
Yea true.
Hasn't got the predatory instincts required to be a top number 9. That cross from Shaw was superb should have buried it. You can't expect the team to create chances like that for him every minute. Its not like that miss was a one off, he misses sitters like that often. Don't think you can drill those instincts in a player overnight. You either have it or you don't.
The primary job of a striker is to finish. He can play Messi-esque outside the box but if he dosent finish chances he'll be blamed, and rightly so.
Rashford slid him through. He was 1 on 1 with the keeper on the penalty spot. First touch let him down which made the finish difficult.
Some of the Lukaku defenders amaze me. At no point has he been good enough for United. Even when he scored a cpl of goals or had a few decent games, it's so blatantly obvious how far off he is compared to the genuinely elite strikers in Europe I.E Kane/Aguero/Lewandowski etc
Please stop coming into the thread and claiming nonsense like "When he scores a goal and doesn't have a good game- sell him and cut our losses" A good game for Lukaku is a B- game for an elite striker. An average game he looks like a championship player.

Today could be put down to an unlucky day at the office if his record against the top 6 teams wasn't so poor.
We need our best front 3 back and firing asap.

Woof. Do one.make me
Played well overall, but just couldn't score. Very annoying given that he has been in good form recently.
He is our best stiker nonetheless. He is playing very well and getting on the end of chances, just couldn't finish them today. He will do better next time.

Thought he was awful actually. 2 chances he should score.
Even not including them we cannot play quick one touch football into him and run off him. Breaks down too often because of his touch

Striker wastes 3 clear cut chances in potentially season defining match, comments on redcafe: “played superbly”
you hate to see it

Both of them should've been goals. The 2nd one he didn't need to take a touch. It just allowed the defender close in.
He also went round the keeper in the 1st half but the keeper got back and stopped it. His touch was actually good in parts -completely unlike himself where he usually does nothing off the ball and then scores from nowhere.
That first video. Facepalm. Martial, Rashford, Sanchez and even lingarrd bury that chance.
Score that and its a different game.
He had a good game, very powerful, very present, gave chances, made chances, but these were not finished, a pity.
"At no point has he been good enough for United."
I believe your "good enough for United" level is too high. If Lukaku has never had a game good enough for Man United, then this entire team is not good enough for man united. Even De Gea after today.

I thought he was good with his link-up and hold-up play, but his misses were shocking. No excuses.
He should have buried that 1st chance 10 out of 10 times and that chance in the 2nd half was a killer. He's just so cumbersome at times.

Has to score chance one or three
With chance two thought they did well but the rebound he just swings wildly when there are two players back post
Strangely thought he was really good except the most important part, finishing

The more I see that 3rd Chance miss the worse it gets, he’s left footed, he could have 100% hit that first time into a corner.
And even his touch made him have to flinch and then slide to reach it.
I know we can’t criticise these misses but ffs.

I was impressed with his overall play today.
