Before Chelsea: Oh Lukaku is such a shit player. Never scores against top teams and is so bad. Just the worst, I tell you. The worst.
After Chelsea:
Quote : | "So he finally scores against someone other than west brom or cska and you come start mouthing off?" |
Can't make this shit up. Also outside of Aguero and Kane who have been better than Lukaku in the premier league? If you were looking for a striker last year then Lukaku and Morata were your best options. Guess we should have signed Morata innit?
We spent 75 million on the fact that Lukaku is 24 years old. Strikers hit their peak around 26-30. Obviously you don't watch United games but Lukaku has been steadily improving this year and again I am not surprised by the fact that you blame Lukaku for not scoring in the other big 6 matches but then you also go around and blame Mourinho for playing defensive. Maybe you should consider what you are criticizing before saying stupid shit next time.
Crickets in here I see. Standard after a United win. Can't mouth off anymore can you.

He's scored a single goal against a club that matters and we're probably through 40 matches at this point. Great ROI

Nobody wants to watch united games. Not even united fans. Who would commit their time to that boring shit.

Didn't realize Aguero, Kane, Sterling, and Firmino were on sale last summer. Didn't realize Sterling and Firmino are out and out strikers like Kane and Ageuro. Guess I am being dense that Lukaku has been the most consistent striker in the PL over the last 3 years beside Kane and Aguero. So dense.

You're right. Why watch United who has scored the same amount of goals as Spurs and is 4 points ahead when you could watch Spurs finish 4th and win nothing.

^ Never mentioned Salah. Clearly he was for sale but again United needed to replace Ibrahimovic and Rooney. We didn't need a forward, we needed a big number 9. Lukaku and Morata were clearly the best options available.
I don't get the hate for Lukaku. Simply because he plays for United basically. 2/26/2018 10:38:54 AM |
rwoody Save TWW 37696 Posts user info edit post |
You asked who 1) has been better, 2) was for sale. Salah is the answer.
I personally always liked lukaku so I have no dog in that fight. Of people that fit your two criteria, I'm fine with Lukaku getting an easy 2nd place. I was very worried when I heard y'all bought him. At the time, I would have rather had him over Salah. Obviously my tune has changed now. 2/26/2018 10:42:01 AM |
wazza31 All American 2433 Posts user info edit post |
I said in the premier league as a striker. Salah was neither. He has been the signing of the season but can't use Salah as a measuring stick for Lukaku IMO.
I still maintain only Kane and Aguero are better premier league strikers that fit into the Lukaku mode. Salah, Firmino, and Sterling are hybrid forwards and while their goal scoring record this year is phenomenal these players are not traditional number 9's that would fit into the system Mourinho wants to play. Think Martial and Sanchez as similar forwards. 2/26/2018 10:59:47 AM |

EPL top 6 from 2014 - 15 to now. After all the shit talk and all the articles about how United have lost its identity and fear factor the real story is as follows. Despite going through our worse period in decades we are still competing for trophies. Shows the gulf in class when our worse period coincides with three trophies.

^^^ Who? Pool I presume?
^More than Spurs have won in how many decades now? Don't come in here and act like a FA cup trophy wouldn't be a huge deal for spurs and their supporters. You would just look like a hypocrite if it happens in May.
I am just saying there has been a lot of noise and much ado about nothing with United. Predictions of our demise are always over the top. Could it be better? Absolutely, it should be better for all teams not named Manchester City though.
The stat in and of itself is very selective I would say but I am using it to highlight that the narrative is largely BS and United have improved massively when compared to the last 4 years. I would say for the first time in a while we actually look like we have a decent squad that can and should get better as the core is still young.

In other news. Winter break 2 weeks before the first knockout matches in the CL. Thoughts? Good idea but I think the break should have been in January instead of Feb. I also hope teams don't use this as an opportunity to just go tour Asia and sell more BS tickets. Players should get a week off with a week in warm weather training but there is something to be said for match sharpness if the first match back will be a CL knockout fixture. 2/27/2018 10:38:37 AM |

Hah - I was actually trying to point out that even Arsenal has won 3 trophies (FA cup) over the past 4 years. The fact that Liverpool is also in the list is rather satisfying.
We aren't all on here to bash United, but pulling a specific stat point and using trophies to validate that stat is meaningless. 2/27/2018 10:44:45 AM |

I am not saying you guys are here to bash United but the general lack of respect is still there and selective stats have been used against us all season. The article posted earlier about why we would finish below liverpool and probably spurs just summarizes the general sentiment in relation to United.2/27/2018 10:50:02 AM |

Man nice comeback. Def hit me in my hopes. Put a small black mark on an otherwise great sports weekend (only small bc i had no hopes until I saw 2-0) 3/5/2018 5:13:51 PM |
wazza31 All American 2433 Posts user info edit post |
Yea I don't understand the start we had. The second goal was never a foul during the build up but Palace stuck with it and took advantage.
United players in the first half looked like 11 people who had never played together their whole lives. That is on the manager for sure but Pogba and Smalling were passengers in the first half. Its like we need to be pressured into playing the way we did from the 50th minute onwards.
Sets up the derby nicely and I am glad its at home. I expect Mourinho to come out defensive obviously but I hope its with Bailly starting and not Smalling. A 1-0 would do nicely but a 0-0 doesn't help either. I predict Klopp will be a bit cautious as well but if its 0-0 United will get a large share of the blame despite the pragmatism from the opposing end as well. 3/5/2018 5:21:05 PM |

Same palace team spurs struggled to beat too. Seem to recall it was a late winner there as well. Nothing would make me more happier than a classic Mourinho 1-0. Just the fact that everyone and their mother will be shitting on us for it as we consolidate 2nd spot will put a huge smile on my face.

It’s actually quiet hilarious that you only equate defensive football to boring, as if a match can’t be exciting when an opposition team is nullified in playing their game the way true Mourinho defenses have done in the past. Yes I would quiet enjoy my team winning against a bitter rival regardless of how it’s done.
State of your fandom comment is exactly why I hope it’s a “boring” 1-0. The bitterness of that while still calling yourself a “superior” team because attack and passion would make my weekend.
Plus all this talk about boring and you just got one of the best matches of the season this afternoon. All I’ll say is may the best team win and there are no ref controversies. Would be a huge win for either team going into the last few matches. 3/5/2018 10:33:03 PM |

Oh like the time you lost an exciting match to a relegation team? Like seriously how long have you guys been watching football? In England the big 6 teams drop points to the relegation sides ALL THE TIME.

Yea Arsenal fans talking about money isn't going to fly. Stop acting like you are so poor after spunking all that money on Ozil's contract and desperately signing Auba. Obviously no where near the level of spending of Manchester clubs but you lot bring up money like your teams haven't consistently outbid the teams smaller than you. Can't really use money as an excuse Arsenal when Leicester won the league two years ago with a squad not nearly as expensive as yours.
Lets swap Smalling for Bellerin. Great deal for both clubs and Arsenal can continue their downward spiral with a center half that suits your play style in sixth.
