Romelu Lukaku

[BlueToff]

Yup. I specifically remember he laid on two sitters too, missed by Rom and Ross from less than 6yds

That was in his first game as well

 

[Huyton Layne]

Against WBA?

That was in his first game as well

That's what i was thinking, only played about half an hour too.

He was sensational, probably extended my expectation at that point.

We could have scored 4 or 5 on the break, that's a point blank fact. We absorbed and countered, they score once, in the 94th minute from a pen.

And lol at the "toe to toe" with them when we won. That did not happen at all

Yeah, the 1-0 win didn't happen either. Cant wait for that one to be expunged form the memory banks.

Nobody is doing that Dave. It was a great result and a great night. But we went, in your words toe to toe with United in a game we were drawing until 80+ minutes. The game the other night we went up in the middle of the first half. We had ample opportunities to create a chance on the counter and our best players couldn't quite do it for us.

Beating utd away isnt much of an acheivement these days..

They went into the foetal position second half.

Ours was done before Moyes had time to ruin the English champions.

It was a significant landmark and one we should have moved on from.

Good on Williams for calling him out the other night. Maybe when he finds a first touch, can pick out better placed team mates, and learns to occupy a defence for 90 minutes, he might have some weight behind it the next time him or his agent mouth off about wanting to play CL.

Pity we couldn't manage it.

They were 9th.

They set up to break on the counter, against a team who haven't lost since God was a lad and managed by a manager you're a huge fan of.

That tactic would've worked had we broke on a professional way.

They were 9th.

Is that true? Wasn't it a week after WBA turned them over?

Correct. I'm now a huge Lukaku fan, but no one should be above criticism. The fact he went bitching to a UTD player didn't do anyone any favours.

And a week later Newcastle beat them 1-0 at Old Trafford.
