We're not good enough to be too good for Lukaku but I can see us wanting an upgrade when we do get there.
Even without the goals, Kane does the little things much more consistently. A good control, body position to control and good passing (not behind his teammates )The difference between Kane and Lukaku was crustal clear today. One misses a sitter, while the other scores a great header from a half chance.
Lukaku is a good striker, but I'm afraid he will never be world class. Never be the player who will make the difference in the ultra tight games. If we had someone like RVP today, the result would have been very different.
Rubbish. There is no need for Lukaku when we had Martial & Rashford who could play in a striking partnership and out-do the numbers of playing Lukaku upfront by himself. Considering they would be on a 3 season understanding - it could even be better. Yet the damn manager needs a drogba and no one else & went for the only target man available. It was not needed for us - purely needed for Jose.He was the best we could get at the time and we needed him but he’s not the answer long term and he’ll be one of the first to go with a new manager when that eventually happens.
I like him but he’s not good enough if you want to win a league.
He's actually not. Zlatan was the perfect Mourinho striker. Lukaku doesn't do any thing Mourinho wants from a striker I'm actually surprised he's still defending him himself.A better fit, no idea how. Lukaku fits the bill almost perfectly in terms of what Jose wants from a striker, aubameyang is miles away from that
Mourinho will, apart from that miss, be more than happy with Lukakus performance tonight, he'll easily point out that Lukaku to an extent occupied the Tottenham defenders so that other players would get more space
I could not agree more. And to think that Mourinho backed him all last season.. he should have been replaced!He’s shit. Abysmal technique, totally reliant on his physicality against weaker players, as soon as he comes up against a dominant CB he does feck all.
Dogshit.
IMHO there is nothing more that can be done to get the best out of him, it either comes from him or it doesn't.How do we get the best out of Lukaku. Brighton and today he's had 2 great chances to put us 1nil up and settle the team but he hasn't done it.
I'm nit picking off course but just another one of our players not scoring enough.
Mourinho wants a traditional number 9 in his system. Lukaku isn’t really that guy but Martial and Rashford are rubbish at it.We need better, we should have just developed Martial and Rashford in hindsight.
The missed chances worry me less than the woeful technique. Andy Cole missed a lot of chances but he did so much else for the team.You're not going to be winning big trophies with him as the main striker.
Misses too many big chances , especially in big games.
His overall game in the last 2 matches has been horrendous.The missed chances worry me less than the woeful technique. Andy Cole missed a lot of chances but he did so much else for the team.
Bit weird that Lukaku doesn't do anything Mourinho wants from a striker, yet he's been singing his praises all year long and he's one of his key players.He's actually not. Zlatan was the perfect Mourinho striker. Lukaku doesn't do any thing Mourinho wants from a striker I'm actually surprised he's still defending him himself.
His holding up and close ball control are rubbish and his finishing is nowhere clinical.
Zlatan was helping everyone around him create chances for fun.
I don't get it but I'm sure as hell Zlatan was far better focal points and was bringing everyone to play. He was great at chesting long balls, dropping down to the space and letting the wingers run in front of him. We were creating chances for fun but have poor finishing. Lukaku doesn't do that. He's a terrible focal point.Bit weird that Lukaku doesn't do anything Mourinho wants from a striker, yet he's been singing his praises all year long and he's one of his key players.
Top 3 scorers in the club ? I agree.Missed crucial chance which would maybe resolve game in our way. But this trashing of him here is ridiculous. He will be in top 3 scorers at the end of season

Oh ffs. Selective memory. Berbatov was a weak link in a great all round Utd team. We would look even more clueless with Berba up front.I would give my right arm for a player like Berbatov.
AgreeTop 3 scorers in the club ? I agree.
In the league ? seriously doubt it.
Maybe top 5
I wish we never signed him
