1 goal in 18 PL big 6 clashes sums him up. He's a flat track bully.
Nowhere near the standard required to win big titles. Rob will no doubt point to midweek but that PL record isn't £75m standard. It's barely £10m standard.
Very frustrating today, mostly because his all round game was much improved for once.
He should of had two, possibly three today. Between he and De Gea we lost three points today.
Lukaku should have scored about 50
Lukaku, Pogba, Lindelof and Fred were all toilet today. Rashford attitude today also stank. Being stroppy and waving his hands in the air in frustration
He's your top scorer bro.
He actually played well today, that’s the annoying thing. He’s got to take those chances, though.

We don't need top scorers, we need players who consistently score important goals.
i honestly have no problems with a bad miss or 2 in a game. All good strikers have a catalogue of misses too.
My problem with Lukaku while he will get goals, i don't think he is fit to play the football the other attackers in the team try to play. he has his moments of magic but generally the build up breaks down when it gets to him and ultimately disrupts our attacking momentum. this becomes very obvious when playing against a quality team where you might need to be super precise

Unfortunately with Lingard out, Martial not fully fit and fatigued starting players it all took its toll today.
Lukaku is a player who will score against average teams, we should accept that.

Hate watching him trying to trap a ball into his feet. Always bounces back to the opposition DM.

I agree with everything here.
He is not a horrible player, he just does not suit us. Our style just changes, long balls not often, no runs into space, no movement.

I read he has 1 in 16 against top 6 opposition.
We have done the stats numerous times Robb, his record is shocking against top sides and you know that.
The goals he scored were not ground breaking, mostly defensive errors. He couldn't do it today though could he?

Out of all the players in the squad to attack, the top scorer is the first one to go for? Strange.
the most worrying observation for me is that I have noticed rashford general play get worse too since the liverpool game when he got injured.
a part of me wants to think rashford is just going to a bad spell but there is also a part of me thinking he is being dragged down by the presence of lukaku.
Good attacking players enjoy playing with each other butI have not seen that joy in rashford in recent games. I might just be reading too much into it
Rashy today, dear me, what game was he playing?
Problem is that there’s not that many elite cf’s available, and people want Rashford to be the man even though he’s not at that level either. We’ve got bigger concerns than cf right now even if they aren’t at the standards of the very best.
Lukaku really needs to pull his finger out against the top six. Service has often been an issue but you need to take the chances when presented to you, and he’s missed numerous since he’s been at Manchester United. That stat earlier had his conversion rate at 4%. Don’t think it included today either. That’s poor for a premier league striker.

This is the issue, Lukaku, even when playing well will have a negative effect on those around him. He just doesn't suit our style, he doesn't press, his touch his poor and he often loses the ball on counter attacks.
Rashford great form was up top alone, there's a reason for that

LOL. I am happy for you robb, you finally have a game that proves lukaku scores against big teams. congrats
Lukaku is getting better under Ole. Today was an off day but he played well enough to make right minded people feel he’s not rubbish in this system.
He’s far down the list of players we need to worry about
Today was an off day
------
But it wasn't, because these sort of days against this standard of opposition are such a regular occurrence.
"Problem is that there’s not that many elite cf’s available, and people want Rashford to be the man even though he’s not at that level either"
It isn't all about levels, it's about the style and how we play as a unit. Our pressing is all but void when Lukaku plays. If rashford and Lingard aren't playing we often look ok the back foot.

What's funny is this was probably Lukaku a best game, maybe ever, for us if you take away the sitters he missed.
I don't think people have written him off, it's just obvious he cannot be our first choice striker.
I know it's not all about levels, but it's a big issue whatever way you look at it. Problem for us is we have bigger issues.
