He does, the service has been poor the majority of the time there. The likes of Lingard and Martial are more like strikers than creative players. Then there's the fact that Mourinho is perfectly happy trying and usually failing to get 0-0s against top 6 sides.

Compare him with the rest of the attack, ballers like Lingard, Rashford, Pogba, Martial, Sanchez, Mata and he just sticks out like a sore thumb. For all his athletic ability his lack of balance renders his strength redundant, he's not at all dominant in the air and his overall presence on the pitch is almost paradoxically lacking. I got behind this transfer at the beginning of the season but it's clear now he's not only not contributing enough himself but he's holding back the rest of the talent in terms of playing time and playing style.


Struggling to have faith in his ability to hold the ball up. When he’s not on it you just know we’re not getting anything from the move.


He's the talisman of [Poor language removed]. If the team is playing [Poor language removed], dont expect Lukaku to put any graft in. His link up play is weak as piss.


Big game bottler who loves to go into hiding when the chips are down.


How can one be so lazy in such a big game. His body language says "its your fault" or "im giving up" all the time.


He's not showing any desire, that's my main gripe.


His lack of work ethic is something I will never forgive him for. Sanchez isnt having a great game but he is working his arse off for the team

Seems pretty similar to what we said on here last season
Don’t get me wrong I’d have him back in a heartbeat , but you have to set the team up to suit him and allow him to score goals.
He’s a great goal scorer but an average footballer

Lukaku must think Christmas has arrived late with Sanchez coming in though. The perfect signing for him - does the legwork and the movement that Rom is incapable of and leaves him to do what he does best; being a luxury player but a predatory finisher.

The perception of him will shift over the next few months as goals disguise shortcomings once more - if he doesn't fill his boots with Pogba, Sanchez et al in support then he's even worse than I originally thought.

I'm afraid goals don't disguise anything. His weaknesses will still be there, but goals are what he's paid to provide as a striker. They far, far outweigh everything else in terms of the importance of his contribution.

As long as Sanchez performs half decently, he should be a breath of fresh air for Lukaku whose main role in that United team of late has been being a defender magnet, creating space for Martial and Lingard, ironically creating more chances for them than they do for him.
 
Yeah who needs Lukaku when we've got Fat Waz :lol:

The bitterness in here is embarrassing. Rom is a fine player. He isn't Harry Kane but who is?! Talk about stating the obvious, it's like comparing Walcott to Ronaldo.

This is what I think we missed earlier in the season, we didnt miss him but we did miss having a presence on the pitch teams have to think about, without him and his replacemnt all they had to worry about was scoring down the other end.
Least now we Coleman back and the two new attacking players other teams will have to stop us, something Leicester wouldnt of worried about a month ago
