"I'd have to think [about resting Young and playing Shaw]. I'm going to make a few but not too many changes. "We didn't qualify yet and I need to keep a certain balance in the team. But when you speak about Luke Shaw, you are right. "He's working to have an opportunity and sooner or later, the opportunity will arrive, because he deserves that opportunity. Selected for tomorrow, yes, for sure. To start or to be on the bench, I cannot answer." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"We are used to it [thinking about the next Match]. It's just the next match. We don't think about the next one [after that], it's just about tomorrow." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"He's [Lindelof] like the team. When the team plays well, he plays well. When the team's doesn't play well, he doesn't play so well. "So the mistakes he had in matches were not mistakes against the level of the team. When he made mistakes it was when the team was playing bad. If the team is playing well, Victor is playing well." - JOSE MOURINHO |

eph12, elampiro Of the top 6 teams City, Man Utd and Arsenal have played against Chelsea away this season I am comparing the heatmap of Lukaku vs Lacazette vs Jesus the main strikers in this game and make your deductions about the average positioning of Lukaku his will show you that its the tactics deployed thats making Lukaku ineffective in scoring goals That shows Jesus and Lacazette are spending more time in the box and playing more centrally compared to Lukaku in a similar game yet we are wondering why he isnt scoring as much I am sure Lukaku would have preferred to be in the box and centrally like other strikers 1 Like

dopeJemi: My own na make him dey stay inside box, just the way he started the season.. No doubt he'll get those goals. Not this one Mourinho is making the guy play everywhere |

CapitalCee: Then there must be bunch of immature people here who can't understand simple English. Their misunderstanding of the Pogba's criticism is what have led to the continued Pogba's scrutiny. It is most likely going to go on for eternity now, even if Pogba wins a Ballon'dor. When Pogba performs at all, they will come out to want to say why did we ever criticize him. When he flops, like he is having 5 missed Clear cut chances this season, I will announce his negative. Tell me anything I have said that is wrong about Lukaku. The guy played poorly against Arsenal, he has been like that for couple of games. I even have to defend him. Even now, I am not holding him for not scoring, but for his poor general contribution as a supposed top striker. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 4:13pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
elrony: Nah! There is still hope for him. He's definitely gonna get playing time sooner than anyone ever envisages on the Thread. I think he may possibly start the tomorrow Match, or perhaps gets introduced in the early Minutes of the 2nd Half. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elrony(m): 4:14pm On Dec 04, 2017 |

dopeJemi: He's has better conversion when inna box tho. Of course we all want him to improve ASAP, this cannot be his best! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 4:22pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
elrony: Some of us ain't getting it. JM is helping Lukaku to improving on his Skills and Techniques. Lukaku is known as a Jam-body type of Strikers with absolute poor Ball Control, rather a Beast in the Box. But so far..... he has tremendously improved in Ball Controls, dribbling and buildup plays! He's gonna get back in the Box, but it seems JM is only helping to develop his all-round Skills as a modern Striker, molding him to become a world-class Striker. With Time...... we gonna begin to appreciate him again! 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 4:23pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
raumdeuter:Exactly! The goals will come if he spends more time there and he has the team to bring the ball to him. Even against small teams we were still struggling to string passes and get the ball to him. Because he hardly gets the ball, everybody wants him to score that one clear cut chance that falls to him but it doesn't work that way. Strikers need chances to score goals. Even the goal that he scored against Newcastle he did the work by himself. I think the other argument was about him not linking play well but compared to other strikers this will be difficult to prove. |

dopeJemi:Tell me which small team we didn't struggle against especially during that Mkhi sad era. Was it not Huddersfield he had to go to the wings to cross the ball for Rashford for our only goal? Which other small team did we play that Lukaku had someone carrying the ball to him through middle and not all those crosses that defence do find it easy to deal with. Chelsea City Arsenal Liverpool have players carrying balls through the middle creating space but we has to turn to the wings every time when we don't even have a RW. Crosses no dey pass the first or second person but we want Lukaku to score 100 goals with those one one big chance and 100 snap shots |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:29pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
raumdeuter: [b]All the matches you listed, did Gabriel or Lacazette score even if they played inside the box? ;[/b]D We are not even too worry about Lukaku's goals return. I said it a million times already. But his ability to affect play whenever he plays or whatever pattern. You play outside the box, you are given a chance to go on one vs one with the goalkeeper, you take a heavy touch that gives the ball to the goalkeeper. The defenders collects the long balls with ease and build an from their zone unhindered. May be he is over used and tired. I remember when Rooney played false 9 against City in 2012 in an FA cup match. I think we won 3-2 (not too sure of the score). He made Kompany and his partner to suffer by dragging them out of position and holding the long balls to bring Nani and co into play. Then Rooney ran into the box again to nod in from crosses. Against Watford, who sent Lukaku to play outside the box? Did we also park the bus? Did we not score 4 goals? Abi na for half line we score 4 goals ni? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 4:36pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
dopeJemi:I do too. He has a lot to improve but so does the whole team. The team play is affecting him. |

elrony: Really don't know what Dudes are expecting from Lukaku. We all know the kind of Strikers he is, even before his first Game in the United Shirt! He was celebrated at the beginning of the Season when he was banging Goals. No one gave a damn about his off Ball Movements, Ball Control and so on. But because he couldn't bang Goals in few Matches, where JM chose to attack and defend with 11 Players, Dudes are beginning to write Theses on him for PhD and submitting it here to claim what they are not. Lukaku is improving as a Player, he's 24, he still gets Room for improvement coz he hasn't peaked yet. Besides, this is his first Season at United, and he's not disappointing so far. Many Tantrums were thrown at Pogba last Season, but Today - he's the most celebrated on the Thread. It won't be long before some Dudes would begin to retract the harsh Words They've said against him. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hmmm. Rooney don dey enter the matter. Soon it will be Rooney vs Lukaku and why he was sold for Lukaku. I'm surprised people are complaining of Lukaku's technicalities which were obvious before he came here. |

Elampiro am still waiting for you to tell me why Rooney couldn't cope at united but is scoring goals any how at everton |

eph12: Do you remember our match against West Ham in FA cup 2013? They were leading us 1-0 and time was far spent, then Ferguson brought RVP. West Ham still looked like scoring 2-0 in the dying minutes. Then Ryan Giggs threw a long pass to Van Persie who ran to equalize late at West Ham and saved us from elimination. Typical striker goal. See the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPf-lrsAId0 Lukaku has had easier chances, but still couldn't go on to take a shot at all. Sometimes strikers just give you the day from half chance even when you park the bus. I gave you guys the case of Rooney vs City in 2012 when he was isolated up front and playing at half line. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:51pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
eph12: Rooney was old na. Lukaku is young. From what I can deduce now, Lukaku is poor being isolated up front just like Chicharito. |
