Lukaku has been a serious waste of money for Utd
Ah I f**king hate these comments.
Here's how United play against the rest of the top 6. They absolutely isolate Lukaku and provide no service to his feet, no through balls for him to chase into, no support for his knockdowns, and no crosses for him to attack.
I don't care how much they paid for him. Today and all the other top 6 matches are not on him. It's simply not possible to be a matchwinner in these circumstances.
Try, just try to be rational about what you're watching.
I'll disagree with the both of yis
Lukaku's not been useless BUT the difference between really really good players and the rest is that they'll score from that one chance that comes their way in a tight game and from memory in both the Liverpool game and today he's had the chance to be the hero and if he takes them no one remembers anything else...
A bit unlucky today though, an auld dribbly one off his shin would probably have gone in but he caught it absolutely flush
I'm not suggesting he's Gerd Muller. But it's truly unfair on a striker completely starved of service to then escalate any half chance he gets, into a gimme.
It's like blaming a woman when she gets raped.
Bit of ridiculous comment to make.
Boycey is right, what makes the best forwards the best is that they'll score from that one chance that comes their way in a tight game. Anyway it was Lukakus poor defending on both goals that cost his side more.
