I don't think we should swap him with another striker, just sell and buy a winger or attacking CM. I would rely on Rashford and Martial to score as well as the new signings and Pogba. Maybe give Greenwood a few chances too.
I've noticed that too. On social media they were inseparable early on, but even on player nights out Lukaku is nowhere to be seen now.
Same here. I thought they were great mates but If I had to guess I’d say pogba falling out with Jose and Lukaku being undroppable and getting on with the manager might have had something to do with it
think you missed my point. You responded to my initial statement that Zlatan had loads of chances in a worse team.....yes a team that did not create chances and were managed by Snorinho, yet Zlatan managed to get the ball in dangerous places and find goal scoring opportunities, hence his superior qualities. I do not need to see our past creativity from the Fergie era. Anyways Zlatam created 8 big chances himself in 28 apps on top of his 17 goals and 18 big chances missed. it would appear Kun would do rather better under these circumstances me thinks.
Ah. I see. So the solution here is to replace Lukaku with an Aguero. Makes sense.
Yes, our top scorer with a whopping 12 league goals this season coming off 16 the previous year. Those are embarrassing tallies especially when you consider that he offers absolutely nothing else in terms of hold up play or link up play or work rate.
Yes I can deny that. And as usual, you are quoting All Comp numbers to puff up his stats. This guy has never, not a single time in his career, averaged 1 in 2 or better. Not once. His numbers (pre-United) would be acceptable if he offered any other qualities on the pitch but he just doesn't. You can't have a less than 1 in 2 striker who can't win headers or hold up the ball or anything else that a top striker does. Just look at what Harry Kane did for Tottenham's goal against Liverpool; holds the ball up under pressure, draws a foul; gets to his feet and immediately makes a fantastic pass that leads to the goal - that is a top striker .
Not at all. Initially I joined this discussion because I believe you were adamant that no forward would do better. Well Rashford for starters looks to be scoring every match he plays through the middle....
Even when he gets peach of deliveries he hits it straight at the keeper or off the target.
That's because he is so much more dynamic and causes havoc, takes people on, tries stuff (long range efforts, speculative efforts) the things a forward should do. Still has glaring weaknesses though. Both our forwards are best as back up forwards for a title challenging side.
Apologies for dragging this out but going back to the "we don't create enough chances" debate, it would be interesting to see the graphics under Ole as we have played with a restrictive manager for the 1st part of this season.
5th for shots on goal (only 3 less than Spurs), 4th for goals scored and we have 2 players in the top 7 for big chances missed (our 2 centre forwards). I don't know how good you assume our rivals are to be honest but evidently, overrating them is a possibility.MLS is not comparable to the Premier League, but good god what a statement
Lukaku is the only striker that needs service. Rashford and Martial don’t need service.
Hopefully he'll get binned. Him and the other average players in our squad are exactly why we're 6th.
Is there another Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain that he’s talking about? Surely it can’t be the ones that play in white and purple that he’s mentioning himself as a candidate for
Talking his player up. If he goes he'll get a good club, but he won't have many options due to his style. An Italian club would be my guess.Is there another Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain that he’s talking about?

On topic it’s almost amusing that even Lukaku thinks he’s outgrowing us. Can’t say I’ll be upset if he pushes for a move.
He's got obvious weaknesses in his game but when his confidence is up he's a lethal striker no doubt. He gets way too much stick, people shouting at him for missing 'sitters' despite not knowing what a 'sitter' actually is. Every shot at goal is a sitter according to some, it's rather tedious.
Suits the agenda
Last season at Everton. He's got a fantastic pass and cross in his locker too.
Had to do a quick scroll to make sure I wasn't posting in the wrong player's thread
Real or Barca? Self-confidence is good for any player but delusion is something else. He would be lucky to take his first touch to Sevilla or Valencia.
Almost had me till the Young and telepathy part.
Bye Felicia.
