Agreed.

Him and Rashford.

He’s fallen in to the Ibra category for me, isn’t really good at football at this level but shows a lot of passion that you can’t knock in a modern day footballer. However, he’s not really good enough for this level (or the level we want to be at)

Don't disagree but when I look at performances of Pogba and Sanchez,(long term with Pogba) 2 guys who are supposed to be the leaders of this team I find it hard too blame Lukaku anymore, and I hate his game.

Pogba has been a crushing disappointment.

Yep

He was the only one who actually showed some bottle and didn't fold tonight

Pogba on the other hand

One of the few that showed up tonight

Would love to see what he could do in a side that actually attacked

Lukaku along with Bailly were the only two players that looked like they gave a £#%&! tonight.

It did matter. It only looks like it didn’t matter in hindsight.

He’s still not good enough IMHO. Scores a few yes but he adds nothing else to the team... it’s so frustrating to watch our collective forwards five the ball away fine and again... I fear City are going to hammer us in a few weeks.

Anyway sell him - he’s not a United striker

Would have kind of agreed with this a few months back, but has been showing a lot more lately. Think he can most definitely be a united striker. But not our only one, which is how he is being played. Starting to really like the big man.

He scored about 2 minutes after the one he missed Ff s

Those two passes by pogba were as bad as I’ve seen a professional football do awful how can you pass out of play from 10 yards twice

Ditto. Warming to him

Least of our worries. Those £#%&!ing shit@#%&!s at the back need executing

I really hope he was injured and that Mou just chucked him on in a desperation move, because if not that cameo was very worrying.

Another huge goal from the big man again last night.

Gone from wanting him sold to wanting his contract EXTENDING.

Showed real character. Jose is dead on.

Played well, again.

I love his character.
Never hides and is always seeking improvement, whether it be individual or collectively

Yup. Shame some of our other players can't show the same backbone.

Our player of the season IMO

His performances over the last two months have been very good and at only 24? He’s going to get better, you can tell he wants to be a legend here

Still not getting it... he’s not a United player for me. Needs to work harder off the ball.

I think he's trying a lot harder off the ball now mate compared to earlier in the season. It's still his first season with the team and a lot of new players trying to gel together. I think we forget this sometimes. I love his desire though, seems to love being at United as well which is huge.
