"Touch is shocking.... for a big fella he gets knocked off ball too easy" "He's isolated, we arent playing to his strengths" "Against the Better sides he' offered us nothing, yes he' getting scraps but rashford doesn't struggle to get involved" "He' still young.... he will learn" Maybe they will sell him at a loss if this continues. I can think of a club in need of a striker. MikeO and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Hazard who had the tap-in, but it was indeed a good move by Rom. On De Bruyne: he's fed up with Roberto Martinez who he accuses of poor tactics ..

The set up is defensive (5 at the back), but the players used are all focused on attacking (Carrasco as left back for example). So in reality it's just three at the back and 7 players constantly rushing forward. It's why they score a lot of goals, but also concede too many. That is De Bruyne's criticism. The system Martinez plays, doesn't match the players he selects to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaiah Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Going through a bit of a rough patch, some United fans getting frustrated: http://www.redcafe.net/threads/romelu-lukaku-2017-18-performances.430573/page-90 A couple of astute observations that's he's too reliant on service for the modern game (I guess that's a fancy way of saying he's a bit lazy sometimes). I like Rom and I think he did great things for this club, I hope he succeeds over there, and to be honest I've been surprised how many United fans have concluded already that he's not their level. If they want to send him back to us for around 60 mill, I'd take him. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Wheels have well and truly fallen off. Watched the game.. he was fine in first half in terms of all round play... not as good as DCL in that regard but hey - he never will be. Second half? Poor and I mean poor. Matter of time till he gets dropped. Half their debates are around how they wish they got morata instead. The goals vs top 6 is looking worse and worse as times goes on.

Lad in work is a Manc fan..... started off giving it the "He's at United now.... biggest club in the world he will get loads of chances and will get 40 goals a season" My response was "yeah you said the same about moyes and see how that worked out... he will score a few to start with and you will see the player he is" The other day he was moaning about how shit lukaku is.

He's an overrated flat track bully who when put against the better teams shows himself to be the player ive always maintained he is - bang average.

He's not playing for Everton anymore There was plenty of posts when he was in his honeymoon period at United. I think it's only right that we balance them up. I'm gonna be honest - im really enjoying watching and reading other fans call out his glaring weaknesses. I never once swayed from my belief that he was a pretty average to poor footballer with a bit of a gift for finishing. Not good enough for the best teams in this day and age. He's miles away from being the player he likes to think he is. He won't be at United in a couple of years - he's had his "big move". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
