elampiro:And what do I gain from defending him The examples you listed are what he does occasionally and doesn't mean he's good at them. The fact still remains this team has problem with keeping the ball, passing, movement and creating chances. |

Linkfield: I'm being optimistic Bro.. Something might happen, I just hope that coward of a coach takes full advantage of any slip up. |

Chrisley024 Was this not Lukaku who turned four Chelsea defenders inside out before scoring. Went between two defenders on the left, turned Mikel, then turned Cahil. This is a good solo goal after dribbling past four defenders. This guy is simply not in form. May be too he is nervous due to the big club he finds himself. Don't tell us Lukaku only score from tap-ins situations or from clear cut chances.

dubylhover: Not true Bro, Mou went into the match with his cowardly tactics and that was why United lost, imagine playing Martial on the right and Rash on the left (to mark Kyle Walker I presume > ) City crumbled under the first attack from United.... Mou gave them more respect than they deserve.. At Old Trafford. |

There was a moment in the match that made me confirm finally that Lukaku is daft not just as a player but also as a person, he had the ball on the right side of the pitch, just after the middle of the pitch.. a player was free to his left making a run to the box, and another was a bit crowded on the right close to the line, what did the Daft Punk do? looked left, decided no, looked right, said hold on, tried to dribble his way past two city players, when he became crowded, he then decided to give the ball to the player on the right and lost possession it was at this moment, I realized we bought a complete Id.iot 4 Likes |

chrisley024: I get you, blame everything else - Smalling, Mourinho, Young, the team, etc. But exonerate Lukaku. Why is it hard to acknowledge that Lukaku is not in form and he is currently our worst player? |

dopeJemi: I saw that too. How will the attack flow when there are such individual school boy's errors? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:05am On Dec 11, 2017 |
dopeJemi:That's even one thing I asked myself 'does it mean the coach doesn't see this and correct him?" He should play it simple. Get pass, give to the nearest player and run into the box instead of trying to do dribble you don't have. |

elampiro: Still waiting for Ukaku's defenders to come and defend him. Funny how Ukaku's issues took almost 6-7 pages of this thread , only to come to an end with his 2 assists against United.. Smh 4 Likes |

eph12: You expected Lukaku to have a bad game? Ajigbijigbijigbi. If this is the case, let us just buy Costa. Abeg I don't like this expectations at all. Lukaku is not going to get those chances he used to get at Everton when they played their co-mid table teams. Any team playing against City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal park the bus and give their best defensive approach because a draw to them means victory. It is going to be always tight, and he has to get used to it. If he cannot, it is a pity. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 10:19am On Dec 11, 2017 |
dopeJemi: when we were complaining about his link up play we were shouted down. somehow Lukaku can't even run with the ball again, always fumbling with the ball between his legs while running like someone that already wants to fall even without anyone close to him. Mourinho is the real idiot here, trying to win games by not conceding only to start attacking when we are scored and if he manages to equalized will go back to default mode of defending. Yesterdays game, especially the first half was a monumental disgrace and to think we were at OT just makes it irritating. If city had any kind of fear or respect for us before the game they quickly gained confidence because of the cowardly approach Mourinho adopted. Playing Rashford and Martial in the wrong wings is just stupid to say the least. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:25am On Dec 11, 2017 |
GloryIsaac: Mourinho actually needs to change his philosophy. I no defend am again. Van Gaal played Europa big matches with Cameron Jackson, Rashford, Verela, Carrick in defence, went out to attack and still gave a good account of himself. 1 Like |

Is Lukaku a gay partner 2 Mourinho?? Instead of criticising lukaku.....he's criticising the ref on not awarding a penalty kick to us |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MRTA7: 11:06am On Dec 11, 2017 |
Its almost as if we didn't know Lukaku before we signed him. Some of us said it when he signed that he's not good enough at the highest level. And we're seeing it daily now we're acting surprised and scrambling to blame everyone else. Even Jose knew this otherwise he wouldn't have gone for Griezmann or Morata ahead of him. But its where we are now. Lukaku can only take us to a certain level because he is a very limited player. You can talk about the style of play all you want but the fact remains he isn't good enough for a team with our ambitions. While City were better than us mostly yesterday. Its a results business and Lukaku's contribution was a negative for us yesterday. Lacking in confidence is one thing but even just making the right runs and movement seems the hardest thing for Lukaku. I don't want to blame just him but he's been our worst player for a while now and he cost us £75m. No good enough. Hope we add to our attack in Jan. All we have to fight for now is 2nd place because we allowed city a stroll to the title. 2 Likes |

elampiro:Yeah I expected Lukaku and the whole team to have a bad game. I don't have any trust in Mourinho in big games or even to win a tournament like the league. Knock outs he could grind results but not the league. I don't understand the point you trying to make in the highlighted part |

codedguy1:Even if Rash and Tony had been played in the right wings we would still have a bad game. The team can't keep the ball for minutes that is very bad. We were hoping for City to have a bad day scoring like Arsenal while we take our one chance but it does not work that way always. You get lucky you win some while some u get what you deserve |

hardeycute:I didn't watch the match but I am very sure all our attacking players lost the ball more than thrice sef and if they didn't then it's because they were busy defending the whole 90mins. My stance has always been that unless the team continue to play awfully as a team and Lukaku continues his misfortune before I can go all out against him. For Christ sake we have made the second highest saves in the league because our game play is weak. Attack break down before they even start and everyone of them is at fault starting from the coach. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 11:30am On Dec 11, 2017 |
chrisley024: Exactly, it's only the likes of Suarez, Aguero and maybe cavani that can afford to hold and carry the ball for long and still score, Lukaku isn't that type of striker. I really really hope he improves because he is what we've got in years to come, The guy is not intelligent at all |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 11:33am On Dec 11, 2017 |
codedguy1: The worst thing is that Mourihno will continue with his park the bus tactics against big teams and this is why I want him gone, Poch with this team will do wonders, I trust him not to buy a striker like Lukaku to lead the line in the first place |
