In a bid to defend Lukaku, you just told us he is not even a footballer.

Last season, this guy took the ball from half line (right side), placed down to score Sundalerland. Yesterday, from same situation he lost control of the ball with no one in sight to mark him.

He scored a brilliant goal from good control against Bournemouth, and another one against City (may be that was a cup match).

Linkfield:


Bro, city has won this league already. They cannot drop points. They go to every natch with come confidence that they will win..
Morale is high, players dey kampe, backup dey, injury set no fit harm them.

Nothing can stop city from not hitting 100 points this season.
They can even go invincible. I just pray they don't.

It us just for a while tho. It wont last long

dubylhover:
;Ddidn't watch d game yesterday sha,was at my town end of year gupping Heineken, but from indications and comments online it definitely doesn't look good for any club...

d bitter truth is that city is currently miles ahead of any other club in d world currently,they have the right players and the perfect coach to tutor them..the only thing that can stop this current team even in d ucl is mayb injuries to key players or fatique,or a team with devestating finishers ..but apart from that they are definitely d best right now..

I just pray that this results gingers mou to make radical transfers in Jan at least for us to have a decent ucl run..by the way I hope we draw Porto today cos I don't want to c any useless draw that would spoil my week..

chrisley024:
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.

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

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?

GloryIsaac:


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.

I expected Lukaku to have a bad game, any striker we use with this our current style of play will struggle. Pep is king at winning balls back and mounting pressure. These kind of games will always expose Jose for the kind of coward he is. United has almost never really played good football, sustaining possession for a long time. Anybody that has been following football and the team knows we were really going to struggle. It's not an upset.

All those guys that gave option of

Park bus and win or

Attack and lose

What'sUp!... Mou has succeeded in making y'all believe that there are only two ways to play footie. B.s

spartacus11:


Lol so u were warned and u people never listened

elampiro:

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.

eph12:

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:


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.

Skimpledawg:

Daddy, are you back?


Scummy

hardeycute:
if that is difficult to understand I don't think anyone can help you

Approach of each team to their opponents is what he highlighted.

elampiro:


I saw that too.

How will the attack flow when there are such individual school boy's errors?

eph12:

Still not following the thread until next year. Meanwhile we are waiting for you guys o. I know that before the end of this year you people will invite us for party again

hardeycute:
it is just sad the Ukaku stans who are the 'real united fans' won't surface now to defend him but can argue and try to criminalise someone with a realistic and logical reasoning

chrisley024:
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.
