Your legendary manager, King of Old Trafford, greatest manager of all time who nearly died is making his first appearance at Old Trafford since his accident and you couldnt even find the will to find a way to win against a promoted team. :hhh:

Id fine them all a weeks wages for that alone.

All them Fergie time referees have retired.

When you watch Deeney, Giroud or Mitrovic play CF and then watch Lukaku try and play the role it's :scust:.

People need to realise all he is Pippo Inzaghi in Heskey body.

What's the problem with that though, Inzaghi was a brilliant striker. Limited sure, but you give him the ball in a good position and he'll score a goal, that's a striker's primary job. None of this false nine shyt :hhh:

The question is, is Lukaku as good and as reliable and as consistent as Inzaghi was? Is he going to show up for you in a Champions League final?

So he's basically a Belgian Higuian then :francis:

I really like Lukaku and wont blame him for today but there are sometimes when he barely looks like someone who has seen a football before. Admittedly he got next to no service as the entire united forward line is trash.

This sums it up

Marital, Lingard and Sanchez don't think any of them made any them took on the Wolves backline once in the second half either :hhh:

But you have to agree that considering Mourinho's style of play and the type of CF's he has had to lead his various lines thru out his career as a coach, Lukaku plays rather small compared to his actual physical dimensions. Maybe Lukaku needs to take some self defence lessons from Fellaini on how to deal with CB's.

Because just being a poacher in today game doesn't cut it, especially as the lone striker. Unless you can create magic out of nothing, if you ain't scoring then you have to lead the line to win headers, fouls, freekicks, hold up the ball and batter the phuck out of the CB's or run them ragged. Not this passive aggressive nonsense that Lukaku displays. Be built like a crusierweight but hit like a featherweight brehs. :francis:

Lingard should not be a starter.

Lukaku and Lingard need some time on the bench. Let Martial go out left, Rashford through the middle and Sanchez on the right.

You can't do the same thing and expect a different result :ld:
