Paddock Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Mourinhos fault for letting him. Everyone knows he's shite at pens. He was after breaking a record today so may of been given a one off nod to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 As soon as I seen him take the ball I thought "wtf".... surely they have an abundance of players who can take good penalties. He's missed 1 in 3 penalties in his career.... that ain't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Romelu Lukaku has certainly hit the ground running at Manchester United. That was the Belgian's sixth goal in six games for the Red Devils. To put that into context, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored five times in his first six games last season. Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy both began their United careers with four goals in six games. In 2007-08, when Cristiano Ronaldo finished with 42 goals, he scored only once in his first six outings." If only he wasn't one footed, had no touch and wasn't shit with his head he'd be a decent player. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westlo Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Coming just days after Jose Mourinho claimed his value has already doubled since his £75 million signing this summer, Lukaku’s sixth goal in six appearances served to underline the point. “I think we were very clever,” Mourinho told The Times . “We thought that something could happen that could change the market forever. Normally the last part of the market is less expensive, but this season after Neymar everything changed – and changed for the worse in terms of prices. I think Lukaku on August 31 would have been £150m.” He would've cost more than neymar if he had better first touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 He's scored 2 against west ham... 1 against Swansea and 1 against stoke in the league (missed a sitter to clinch the points). Nothing out the norm for the lad... cannon fodder. Anyone think that he would make a difference for us at the moment? I don't. Our problems are far greater than a striker at this moment.

If I was a betting man I'd bet that more than 2 of our 35 (?) shots would have gone in. Or more than 7 of them would have been on target (that is a frightening statistic!).

I'm struggling to understand how lukaku will have made a difference to us... we aren't even getting the ball in the box - so no. He would be as much use to us as tits on a bull right now. We aren't competing, we are overrun, the players don't know their roles, we are changing formation left right and centre. Lukaku would be stood there huffing and puffing waiting for a ball... All very well looking at him enviously whilst United play pretty poor sides. He has been given the luxury of being the recipient of pretty straight forward chances. Let's see how he does againSt the better sides. Chach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Telegraph Sport article of Rom includes the observation: His urge to contribute to the play at all times bodes well. Not an urge that I recognise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an urge that I recognise? Probably because he's got better players behind him helping. Massive boost when you've got that edit. Plus a new job always gave me a boost, with better competition to prove myself in. Maybe it's the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
