Lukaku does what it's says on the tin - scores goals. There has been many a striker with great touch, vision , scorer of great goals but not a great goal scorer. Man U knew exactly what they were buying and he has delivered - he has probably started better than expected. The whole midfield looks better balanced now. I'll never understand why Chelsea let Matic go to Man U. |

Yeah, it's utterly bizarre. Made themselves weaker and a major rival stronger, with little gain in the current market. United needed a Carrick replacement and got it. Matic is a Rolls Royce footballer. Carrick used to be, but he has a Lada engine nowadays. |

same for Hazard / Morata Ali / Kane Mane / Couintino It was hard to pick 2 for man city as they have so much firepower up front - maybe Silva/Aguero

I think its 10 goals in 9 games now. He's not perfect but you cant fault his goal scoring record... |

In fairness to Lukaku he had some good lay offs in the link up play in the first half but still has a tendency to miss control a relatively simple pass along the floor. His control is indeed poor at times.
@BSM He's hardly an 'awful' footballer ffs if he's one of the best goalscorers in the league He has plenty of strengths despite his touch being a weak point.

You said Kane twice but it was Defoe that confirms you have been on the sauce! He is also a very limited footballer. Kidding aside, this is nothing new. Man U knew his strengths and weaknesses before they bought him. Last year they would have finished in the top 4 if they had Lukaku - they drew to many games as they just couldn't score enough goals. He isint world class but will improve the united team. |

I don't know, I think his general play was pretty good in the first half anyway and knew when to come deep to receive it. Mhikitaryan had an awful lot of space to run through the middle due in apart to Lukaku pulling defenders away with him. I think his awareness in general play isn't that bad tbh. Anyway his main job is to score and it's great to see him getting back and defending. He deserves a huge amount of credit given he'd be under serious pressure when he signed. He seems a cool customer in interviews.

Defoe scores goals but his all round play is poor.
No height for ariel battles and poor crosser of the ball. He was 'receive ball and shoot' type forward. Never made it to the top 4 teams (at the time) despite being in the England team. |

Why would I want Defoe crossing the ball?
Giggs was a PL great,yet he couldn't cross his legs Defoes movement is top class,hence why he's still scoring in the PL |

it's funny how every pundit and fan concentrates on lukaku's limitations rather than his strengths. the chap, if he continues on his current goalscoring run, will reach 100 PL goals before Christmas, going into the top5 youngest to reach that milestone. and that's with playing for west brom and everton for 5 of the 6 years...

What a stupid post So your Shearer's, Van Nistelrooy's, Henry's* etc. All known for their height and crossing the ball play rather than the 20-30 goals a season you reckon? *Didn't Henry score 1 headed goal ever during his time in England?
