Aggressive arousal ffs :lol:

Clearly I made a wrong career choice - describe what's being shown on the video, add a bit of flavour to it, make up some rubbish and get paid handsomely for it b)


:rofl:
thats really a fancy way of saying that mourinho is a dick

https://www.premierleague.com/players/4492/Christian-Benteke/stats

considering benteke played for mediocre crubs all his life. villa, cants, palace, he is not far behind romelu

:rolleyes: stats are damning.

thats the thing, lukaku is also playing for a mediocre crub right now

maybe, just maybe united might wanna play some football and support the guy

blaming lukaku for not scoring the one chance he gets in dreadful bus parking or long ball to tree performances is ridiculous

says it all when the whole gameplan relies on your lone striker somehow getting a lucky punch and scoring immediately

united does not create enough as a team

Thing with Lukaku, why he gets criticised so much more than other strikers is he doesn't get anywhere near as many chances.

If he misses one, he might not get another and if we don't win the game, everyone is gonna dwell on it, while the likes of Kane, Aguero or Firmino even if they miss one or two sitters, they will get another five goalscoring opportunities, score a goal or two and no one will remember the missed chances.

if jose had indeed lost it like you said, then this team would already been fighting relegation.
as our main striker, his primary job to score goals. if he misses easy chances and open goals so often, what do we need him there for?
every team that has won the league has a talismanic goal scorer like augero, vardy, rvp, rvn, drogba, costa you get the picture.
And then you have that rich man's benteke, aka romelu lukaku.
misses chances to put the game to bed. indirectly puts pressure on his own team who are somewhat vulnerable to defending set pieces for 3 seasons in a row.
hows that beyond stupid?

clinical people. A striker playing for United whether with good support or no good support, he is the main man in the team. score a goal even if thats his only chance entire game.
whats more, he is well known to be a ''bully'' towards the smaller crubs. so when he misses glaring opportunities against these small crubs, then the team is doomed aint it?
im not asking romelu to be a RVP where he is obviously not. he can score difficult headers or absolutely powers through the defender thats with him and shoot at goal. thats his strength.
Im pissed that he misses glorious chances , damn sitters blasting the ball into row z or shooting wide with just the goal at his mercy.


You feel jose's frustrations here but this time the culprit was juan mata. score the goal, kill the game. which romelu gets the most chances usually. end of story.

You compare RVP in prime for 2 seasons vs a Lukaku who has yet to be in his prime..

Nevertheless, with the experience he has, he should do better.

He would in a half decent team tho, im quite sure of that. Happy to have him at PSV B)

hes not wrong
Vardy scored vs everyone that year. Bad goals soft goals scrappy goals class goals

That’s what a title-winning striker does

Lukaku is 25 with 6 years experience at the top flight

Rooney and Ronaldo were leading League and UCL-charged runs at 22-23.
Berbatov and RvP simply won points when there was no reason for them to be taken during title-winning years

I am a huge fan of Lukaku and do not expect him to bury every chance but he needs to bury the ones that matter. Steal some points when it’s not deserved for a start.

Lukaku is the type of player to only get better when he gets older, like Drogba. Completely different type of players than Rooney, Ronaldo and RvP for example.
I get that he misses alot of chances, but this simply isn't the main problem United have..

if he does his job well, he and him alone would have solved 70% of our problems right now.
