3 minutes in bloke loses it and goes right off. Brilliant. :)


Oh the irony of the cockney interviewer... and fair play for the care in the community bit towards the end when they let the old girl have her say - after she’s picked her nose of course!!
 
Credit to Lukaku usually dissappears in the big games but yesterday he showed up with 2 assists. Big game player.
 
The fans deserve the manager , the manager deserves the fans. Complete set of simpletons.
Just been informed “loads of city fans doing the Munich gesture and chanting it”. Lie.
Anything to deflect
 
What's not going to help them is making Lukaku a scapegoat.

I won't pretend he played well, and you can ultimately say he cost them the game. But they have a problem with the way they play and there's not much Lukaku can do about it. They're literally firing 60 yard passes at him and expecting him to bring it down, control it, and bring others into play whilst having nothing but City players for company.

In reality, questions need to be asked of Mourinho. More so than before. But they'll deflect it onto Lukaku, just like Mourinho wants and they won't learn anything for it.

Also, signing only 3 players in the summer when you've just finished 6th is risking it as far as a title push is concerned.

We shouldn't be too naive about them. They're 2nd and in most seasons barring this and the last they'd be right in the mix. I won't complain that we're causing them unrest mind :D

The problem with Lukaku is he's not good enough to play for a team who aspire to be at the top of world football, and he never will be.

His goalscoring record for Everton was incredible, a 0.5 goals per game at a club that bad is brilliant, but the best strikers do more than just finish chances, and he showed time after time his hold up play was poor, he's not got a creative bone in his body, and his touch isn't good enough to play with creative players in and around the box.

Making him a scapegoat won't help them or him, but the sad truth for them is they spent £100m on player who will never fit into a top side, and now they have to soldier on building the team around someone who'll do nothing but finish big, clear cut chances you create for him.

The redcafe postmortem has circled back to Morata vs. Lukaku again and the debate is embarrassing. Morata is several levels above Lukaku at everything.
