Romelu Lukaku

[Tubey]

2013/14 Lukaku has turned up today, his strength has always been making runs out wide and cutting in

The challenge is for him to compete at that level consistently. He's always capable of dominating a one off game.

Is this really the best commentator the BBC have got?

I'm not sure how he got man of the match yesterday.

Also is it me or is he so much bigger than when he played for us, unless it's his baggy kit? He was super trim and had great pace but now he seems very labored and chunky.

Back on the bench!! United one up....

It is a consequence of what Mou was trying to get him to do, ie: be Drogba. If he was the size he was when he left us he'd fit into their front three without any issues at all.

Ha... once again, its somebody elses fault.

With him it is. 90% of the problems he has had in his career are down to managers thinking he looks a bit like Drogba, so should be able to play like him.

United are so much better without him, it's mad. I have no idea how the sorts of decision-makers who throw 70m at Lukaku are able to get to that level of responsibility in the first place.

 

[Lelouch]

It gets funnier every time I watch it

For a player who's never been short on confidence (at least in his own ability) it's quite astonishing to see how poor he's become.

To be fair, I think the decision to spend £70m on his goal return for us wasn't a bad one. In hindsight however, it's not worked out for them at all.

No, he's put on weight. On a fatness scale of Sigurdsson to Big Nev, he's on the Jags/Williams level. Jags has bigger tits though

Its his attitude, its horrible, he had it in his head he was a top player, good players always strive to be better, he has the wrong approach

 

[Bourney]

He's not fat that's muscle he's naturally filled out as he's got older put on too much body mass
