Decent article on Zlatan

Zlatan's a clutch player who rises to the big occasion. Without him we wouldn't have beaten Southampton to the League Cup; he dragged us over the line in that game.

We will get injuries and someone like zlatan will be needed and if we do anything in Europe I'd trust zlatan over lukaku any day in a big game!

Really? In a game against city I'd much rather have someone who can actually run during a counter attack than Zlatan.

Not a decent article as it clearly doesn't take into account he was statistically 2nd from worst striker in the premierleague for finishing big chances and the fact he had a lot of them wasted in draws or defeats cost us lots of points. His lack of pace also stopped us creating even more chances.

Lukaku in a big European game with his lack of technical ability will be a liability. Zlatan is a better player than him.

Not anymore he's not. People clearly didn't watch us last season if they think Zlatan's all round play was good.

Stupid comment.

Goals win games. Lukaku scores goals.

Zlatan may not be as good as he used to be but lukaku is horrendous on the ball.. total rubbish with it, zlatan may have had his issues here but he's vastly better than lukaku technically!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's not horrendous. Not fantastic but not horrendous. Zlatan was horrendous on the ball in many games last year.

We know Lukaku is not gifted technically but he is not horrendous. What he can do is run channels,outpace defenders and score goals. The ball over the top is an option again and although Zlatan is an all time great he no longer has the pace for counter attacking football against better opposition.
Stop slagging off Lukaku and give him a chance to improve ffs.
