Lukaku

So

In a week, he has almost scored an own goal against Arsenal.

He didn't pull that one off though so he thought he'd assist City with two goals on the weekend to gift them the win.

Why was he the furthest United player back on these 3 occasions?
Why can't he control or kick a football properly, being a professional football player on millions of pounds a year n all?

******
Forgot to add.

Why can't he jump, or hold the ball up, or use his chest to control the ball.

Why does he get out jumped and out muscled by smaller, weaker players, on a consistent basis.

Why does he rarely make attacking runs?

Why does he prefer ball to feet when he can't control the thing anyway?

So many questions.

When this guy isn't scoring, he is a detriment to the team.

We've had some of the best strikers in the world over the years and now we're stuck with this lump up top.

I'd much prefer Martial up top on his own over Lukaku.

How Jose set up on Sunday does zero to help his lone striker, that's why I feel it's harsh to blame Lukaku for Sunday.

apart from the fact he gifted city 2 goals, yea cant blame him

Wasn't Robb the only person who really REALLY rated Lukaku on this board ?

Nope.

I did, and still do, really, really rate him.

For me, he's one of the top five out and out strikers in the PL and I reckon he'll still net us something in the region of 35 goals in all comps this season. Quite possibly more depending on how many games he gets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's got 12 goals in all comps so far, so needs another 23 to get that.

We have 22 PL games left, plus cups depending on how far we get as you say.

Seems a big ask from here given the current situation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If he continues to play every game, given the number of cup fixtures I'd estimate we'll play between now and the end of the season, I'd expect he'd need to hit around two goals in every three games.

Which I think he can achieve.

Maybe his teammates no longer want to pass the ball to him anymore because they know he's just gonna lose it. So it makes him look even more isolated, and the opposition will target him in their box with set pieces knowing he's a clumsy oaf that will gift them a chance, or score an own goal.

I think Lukaku will end the season with 22 goals in all comps.

Starting when? Because he’s nowhere near that for the past 10 games.

I'm glad we've got Lukaku. We badly needed someone to help us out the "smaller" teams away and to an extent that's worked.

There is an argument that we'd be better off without him in the bigger games. Play either Martial or Rashford down the middle. Horses for courses and all that.

United pretty much created all three goals in that game. For all of Citys flair going forward, they didn't really create that much. Don't recall any saves De Gea had trouble making.

If we had played without Lukaku, would have finished 1 or 2-0 to United prob. He's a right liability.

And well above it for the first ten.

This is what strikers do. There isn't one in world football that scores one game on, one game off, one game on, one game off. All have purple patches and droughts.
