Just as most of our players are average so are City Chelsea players. There are only few world class players around

Ehen na, it takes a blend of average players and better ones to make a team.

My problem now na mourinho.

Yes nah. The guy released his frustrations in Arteta. lol.
They should ban both idiots.......Mourinho and Lukaku!
If it's true that Lukaku did that, then the club should just cancel the contract and send him away. C'est fini!

He might play differently if he has all his players, particularly Bailly, Pogba, Jones and Fellaini.

You remember our return match against Chelsea last season when Rojo was in form. Bailly and Rojo played like they were playing with kids.

He had these players when he faced other top teams (sometimes average teams) away in the past and the idea didn't change.

Lols, the truth is, a club does not need a whole 11 to be extremely good. A club with 2 or 3 world class players and a good coach could still make a difference and be successful but if you have a whole lots of world class and the coach is bad, there is every probability that the club would fail. Pogba, De Gea, Martial, Mikhi, and Rashford, these are good players on their days if they are in the right hand. An attacking and tactically-minded coach would definitely bring the best out of these players.
Yea so why singling Lukaku out?

Bros I beg to differ!!! Lukaku may not be a flair player due to his presumed technical deficiency, but that guy can strike for any club. Strikers need chances to score but he doesn't get enough.

Unless you're telling me we have better players than the Belgium National Team.
I think you're right bro! There is no any world class striker out there now. We just have to make do with what we have but definitely not with Mourinho in charge. That man will ruin United before they realize it.

Elampiro do you have anything against this point of view

Why is it hard to accept the truth that Lukaku was a complete shyte in that match?
Old man Ibrahimovic made more impact in the limited time he played.

The clear cut chance Lukaku missed came about from Ibrahimovic's ability to retain the ball under tight marking in inside City's box. Ibrahimovic controlled the cross, retained the ball while ensuring body balance, and then played back to Mata who lobbed it over the wall to Martial.

If it were Lukaku in same position as Ibrahimovic, he would have made Mata to look like mumu there. Lukaku would never have thought of controlling and passing back to Mata.

Chances don't come when some members kill clever build up play, or running with the ball into the bush during counter.

The highlight of yesterday's match was when Ukaku put the ball on the run with his left foot and then used his right foot to pass to the city defender cheesy

I wanted to just die grin


I don't know how that kind of a thing can happen to a professional player. That to me was worse than the missed clear cut chance and two Assists. It is the worst move in the EPL this season.

I knew Lukaku didn’t have a good first touch and he had a bad close control. But to have a self accident like that, all alone with the ball, is a calamity.

Lol, see the truth of the matter is I don't see any difference between Rashford/Martial and Lukaku striking for us apart from the physique. In fact, Rashford/Martial could have even done better as a striker. It takes a stupid man doing the same thing the same way and expect a different result. Bench Lukaku and try other guys, it could be a good tactics at the end.

With regards to his anti-sportmanship, it's better off for United to cut loose than ruin the brand cos of a player. It happened to Evra, he was fined by UEFA and his club canceled his contract. Breaking bottle on someone's head is even a worse offence.

He had a very terrible game yesterday no doubt. So did the rest of the team minus De Gea nobody was exceptional.

The Problem with United ain't actually Lukaku rather the Idïot Mourinho. I'm beginning to dislike him, in fact I want him sacked at the End of the Season.

The Idïot is killing the Players' Morale, he's turning them to Cowards, that only roar Louder when facing small Teams.

Meanwhile...... RIP to Chelsea in advance!

Because his position is very critical for a team to maintain stability and it takes a more clever player to handle it.

The rest of the team did not have a terrible day. You guys should stop saying this just to cover up for Lukaku.

The guys were doing well, more than Arsenal’s match, until Lukaku gave an Assist. We were already going to half time. Rashford still scored (Lukaku would have missed that) and scores stood at 1-1. Lukaku had a great chance to set up a clear cut chance, he conceded a self accident. Then game a second Assist and finally failed to level.

Ibrahimovic did better, Rashford scored, Martial played with confidence. Valencia and Young were doing okay. Herrera worked hard. Lukaku was on a calamity of his own.

Tell me any half decent thing we played as a team yesterday, except equalising?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 3:23pm On Dec 11, 2017
What makes United what it is today, is the quality of football which reflects in all the players and equivocally forms the brand. Now, this brand is being destroyed by Mourinho and the stakeholders are watching.

But one thing is very certain, by the time there's unrest at Old Trafford and a drastic drop in revenue, they would be able to look inward and understand better.

I wont really blame Lukaku for the attempted clearance with ricocheted off Matic into the path of Otamendi. The fact still remains he and the attack doesnt get enough chances and feed off scraps.

Watch that video again, it would have made more sense for Lukaku to count two steps forward to head that ball away instead of clearing into danger zone with his left foot.

Matic uses one foot, but he uses it to work like he has two. The other player I could be scared of making a similar mistake is Valencia. But so far he has done well.

Why did he even use his weak foot in such spinning ball into out box? Head away or use your left or use your left to turn the ball into corner kick.

LOL. If you're a United fan and you don't know this, then sorry oh. I see a lot of people cursing Lukaku out and I'm just laughing. If you've been watching football and following the EPL for some years now, you should know Lukaku. And if you know him, you should know he's not all that. You should also know he rarely ever scores in big games. Therefore you should not be surprised.


The biggest problem in Man Utd now is Jose Mourinho. I like Man Utd but they got the wrong coach. JM is too defensive-minded for a club like Man Utd! Some pipu no dey hear. I'm happy tho, that Pep and his good football are winning in the EPL and I hope they win the league. You can imagine parking the bus whenever you meet a top six side. It's not as if you don't have the players to attack. You do, but the mentality always is first of all, not to lose. Instead of thinking about how to win.


We know Lukaku is average but yesterday, he was a victim of JM's defensive tactics. Simple. The point I'm trying to make is I agree with you. Jose Mourinho, not Lukaku, is the problem. Anybody that's not seeing this is not seeing well.

Yes, the midfield is the most critical but when you are deficient in the midfield like the case of yesterday, a good striker bails the team out in that instance. Ability to retain the ball confidently whilst bringing your team into the field of play is very important.
