Birds of a feather flock together
But he's in a Man Utd team now, as their main striker.
He should be getting more service at his current club than here.

Rom played well, and held the ball up a bit.
The fact the utter liability Smalling dived, in his own half ? And gave away the free kick that led to the goal didn't seem to get mentioned.
United were well on top at that point and would have won the game IMO.

Dreadful player... who can slot.
Dropped down the PL scoring charts hasn't he. Currently on 12 with Firmino.
Ahead of him:
Kane - 23
Salah - 22
Aguero - 21
Sterling - 15
Vardy - 13
Sorry its not working out Rom but that's what happens when you leave Everton.

- Hat trick against Panama
- 4 goals against Tunisia
- Will probably nick one against England because they’re crap
- 2 against Senegal
- Goes missing against Germany and they go out

The inconsistency will never leave him, wherever he goes
He tried that today. Genuinely had a great game. His hold up play was great, his link up was very good, he was skinning defenders, running to the corner flag when needed, whipping some of the best crosses of the game in with left and right foot. He created a gilt-edged chance with a brilliant through ball for Sanchez, who proceeded to cock up an open goal. He also created a massive chance for Martial to score who duly missed.
Martial should have had a hat-trick today. Had Lukaku had the chances, he would have. Lukaku didn't get two half-decent openings to rub together, because the likes of Martial aren't interested in creating chances for anyone else. I've been saying for weeks that the United set-up isn't right for him at all and today illustrated it well. Even when he plays well, they've transferred the most important element of the striker's duty to hit-and-miss finishers and creative play to an out-and-out striker, which is daft and won't work as often as they need it to.
I largely agree. I think you're over-egging how he played, but you always do that - in general though he was decent today; one of United's best players.
I can see how it'd come across that way, in this, possibly the least reasonable and most biased thread on the forum.

Aye turns up once in awhile alright as we've seen.
The difference is that Lukaku in here was the main player...all our play was aimed at Lukaku...he was the main man...at united, he is just another star in a series of stars all competing against each other to become the main man...I am not sure that he is going to win many titles there, apart from maybe 1 or 2 cups...he may have to move again if he wants the big prices.
