Or how "Murray beats Lukaku hands down " even when stats show otherwise

elampiro:
Stats are facts.

If those stats favoured Lukaku, you guys would have applauded.

They said Lukaku is not doing badly in terms of goals. I brought stats to show he is far behind other strikers who have less minutes, like Kane.

Then they said he is doing well compared to many others. I brought stats on goals per 90 minutes. Lukaku is number 30

They said because he played at half line, I brought stats about smaller strikers who play at half against big teams and score.

They shifted to he defence. I wonder when defence has been the duty of a striker. Again, a rough look at matches show he doesn’t depend, except clearances which even Ibrahimovic did better for us last season.

Lastly, it has been revealed that Lukaku can only have high pass accuracy in his own half when compared to other strikers. Any wonder the likes of Mkhitaryan have been poor? Their front man cannot play fluently with them.

How many goals and assists does Murray have, and when did Lukaku play against Burnley inna United shirt?

No epistles please.

KinzyeWriter:
Please guys, how true is it that Messi had scored five against brasil of which four of the goal was free kick? CapitalCee are you aware of this?

raumdeuter:
They probably mean he isnt scoring as much, Let them bring Aguero Lacazette Morata Jesus Kane to be playing defence wings and everywhere else but the box and lets see how it will work out

raumdeuter:
Lukakus lack of performance is due to the tactical setup of the team which requires him to do more defensive work than other strikers out there

KinzyeWriter:
It is as simple as that bro. ...

These people just have this personal hatred towards the nigga... I was at the viewing center with a barca fan yday.. He said he didn't see why people blame lukaku. That he isn't useless even when he is not scoring .. As he sees his paces and well precised forward passes.. He could do it with his head and legs.

I was surprised to hear this from another team fan seriously .. And some panke fans will be saying he was woefully performing before that stunner goal.

Lol

You guys are funny by always calling me old man.

When one day we see, you guys we be surprised I am not so senior to you people. I went to school early and graduated early as well. So that could be the big difference.

I even got a job from my NYSC service year.
Had to choose between two jobs on merit. One of them gotten after passing a tough bank's aptitude test, emerging top 5% of over a thousand candidates. There was even a third job I even forgot to mention, a company I topped their management test (although a one man's business), I was to be sent to head a branch office in Benin. When I got a bank that I knew I would be retained , I had to get a rejection from my PPA in Ikeja, another firm I was the only one taken after four youth corps members sat for their Accounting test. That was like 4 places. My place of PPA, a company and two banks.

It was not fault I knew how to hustle early because I knew where I was coming from. From NYSC camp, I wrote tests and went for interview Fridays and Saturdays. Even after camp (having secured a place of PPA) I didn’t rest. We were 12,000 NYSC members in Lagos during my time.

Oasis007:
The emboldened is spot on Bro. I wasn't a Fan of him, but I'm pleased with his Ruggedness and Composure last Night. I hope he improves on it and remains a United Player for another Season.

Oasis007:



Lindelof is becoming a new Vidic, and no one is talking about it?! Shaw had a good Game last Night, won Fans' MOTM, yet little were said about him?! JM seems to have found a good balance for the Team with 3 - 5 - 2, yet the Einsteins ain't discussing the new Formation and Players' setup?!

The 3CBs at the back are well covered, Bailly - Jones - Rojo or Lindelof - Smalling - Blind, the Depth is there to discuss and factually analyze, yet little Attention is given to it?! Shaw has picked up, played well as a LWB, a good Competitor for Young..... should he still be sold or not?!

Tunazebe seems ready to deputize for Valencia, Darmian ain't impressing till now..... should he be sold or not?! Fellaini ain't ready to renew his Contract based on United Terms, McTominay is proving to be a huge Talent..... Fellaini should be offloaded or not?!

Pls, let shift away from Lukaku Matter, these are Matters arising, let's discuss it.

joeace2020:
That is what is driving the old mans behavior. Making a case for rooney's contribution to the team back in the days of his goal droughts but not seeing that for Lukaku because he has swallowed hook, line and sinker the Bias Jam body, no technicality footballer the press has sold him. I will take a Lukaku going through a goal drought over the sh1t mr Rodney was serving us for 2, 3 years before he was sold. I will take a coach who says a player's contribution besides the goals drives him crazy over some self proclaimed soccer genius who nobody besides his family members know for his football knowledge.

eph12:
Who saw Grizzy play? Is he still the messiah as reported?

elampiro:
You have an agenda. Did Lukaku not miss an empty net from two yards? Was he not slow to react to Pogba's perfect ball?

But when I read this thread, I saw where people were blaming Rashford when the scores stood at 0-0 and 0-1. Rashford who had a far better night than Lukaku. Just because there was an argument, people shifted blame to the young lad. The only ball Rashford could have scored was a poor attempt at goal. But it was still an attempt.

Good Lukaku has scored. Let’s see how it helps his confidence. See I don't watch match alone, so I hear what people say about our players. Even other fans.

Vanquay:
What does Lukaku missing have to do with Morata, are they telepathic?

elampiro:
Lukaku also missed na.

Morata tested the goalkeeper from unexpected positions.

No one has said Morata or Aguero can't miss sitter. Honestly, Lukaku only scored to redeem his woeful night.

PietroRico:
lol. E Don do

Debruyne
*Mins played* 1290

MRTA7:
Such a terrible time to miss him. City match an even bigger task now. I still think there was no intent in the tackle even though the result was an unfortunate stamp as Bellerin knelt down at the exact moment of impact. So way was it premeditated.

hardeycute:
Do you know anything like wing?

automatically Alonso,moses,zapacosta,tripier,aurier,+all players in a 3-4-3 setup are midfielders using your fücking logic

hardeycute:
Lol.What about Ashley Young?

Whosocored is Man U Coach?Do you watch football matches or you are one among the many who use Squawks,whosocored,4-4-2,etc to form opinions?.

It will be nice if you can fetch his heatmaps to back up your claim

elampiro:
Like what?

CapitalCee:
Martial. Attacking midfielder.

hardeycute:
Do you have to sound foolish just to make a point to your advantage?

BlueAngel444:
Careful! careful now

If that's how you want to roll

Batshuayi 490mins 7goals 1assists you whole attacking team cannot better this average

You can go and pack your beans now.

bigkesh:
Morata played just 30 mins in 2 games vs Qarabag while Lukaku hasn't missed a single minute of UCL football was playing full time and stat padding against Russian farmers.

Morata has played 268 minutes less than Lukaku in the league and still has more goals.

Disgracing yourself?

BlueAngel444:
Lukaku in EPL hasn't played better than Morata both have 60% shot acc, 1 ave defensive action per game, win 46% of their duels and create same average chances per game or per min.


But Morata has 70% pass acc to Lukaku's 67%, still not enough to say 1 is better than the other.

But if your to consider factors like; this is Morata's first full season as a starter and in EPL and was 20m cheaper than Lukaku well you see Morata wins

BlueAngel444:
You want to carry the Lukaku bashing from ManU thread to this place? Are you sure this is wise
