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?

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:

Massive fukkery going on in this Sampdoria-Inter match. 3 goals disallowed by VAR, 2 from Inter including an absolute screamer from Asamoah.

100% this. Sanchez needs to go to the right. If he's going to stink it out in the first 11. Let him do it there.

Right, left, middle doesnt matter.

He's washed. At first I thought it was Mourinho but you can tell he's lost some pace and quickness. All he can do is play that long ball from the left to the right side of the pitch which is accurate about 40% of the time.

Honestly,

I agree with you. There was no reason for us to get him.

Apparently if we didn't get him, City would have. I mean doesn't matter now. City got attacking talent for days.

Lukaku also needs to step up. He's my boy but he isn't above criticism :ufdup:

Thats why I said I'd prefer he still stinks it out on the right atleast Martial/ Rashford can continue to do the thing on the left.

If Brendan can’t get this pish sorted in the next month then he can get all the way to fukk, fukk his trebles your only as good as the current campaign here at Celtic.

If other results go against us over the weekend we’ll be 6th place 6 games in. Lenny would never have let this happen but our incompetent board chased him off.
