Football Season 2021-2022

I get the feeling Lukaku is one of those players not fit for the PL but honestly I don't know, he was banging them in for West Brom and Everton.

Either way his United and Chelsea era's were definitely a flop.

[Zelk]

Lukaku scored almost 1 in 2 for Man U then went off and demolished Serie A. Any blame for his failure there is entirely on the football club and not the player.

I'm inclined to agree, I should have made it more clear that while his United and Chelsea era's were a flop it wasn't necessarily his fault.

No doubt he'll be banging them in at Inter again.

There are different expectations of what "banging them in" looks like at West Brom and Everton. Furthermore, at Man Utd and Chelsea there was an expectation he'd actually play football as well.

Why? No one else does at Man U.

Not gonna lie, I spilt my drink laughing.

The truth hurts though

Ouch but fair.

Also an accurate assessment of most of the post SAF years, last year under Solskjaer was about as good as it got.

And people still think he's poor manager.

[jonnysensible]

Solskjaer is the best manager you had since SAF. The harsh truth.

Is Malcolm Ebiowei any good lads

[RobertoCarlos]

big loss for liverpool

Thinking about Mane? Then yes, it sure is.

Its interesting seeing him go to Germany. One would think La Liga (Barca or Real) would be much more interesting for him, especially his pricetag. Strange that no other club lined up for him. He will do great at Bayern.

Yeah refering to Mane.

One of those players that seem to pop up with important goals when needed on the big stage

His first spell at Inter, one could see the team was buildt around him and how he plays as a striker. It suited him and helped him get alot of goals. That didnt really happen that much in Manchester United and it certainly didnt at Chelsea.

He is the kind of striker that doesnt carry the whole team, but is a great goalgetter if the team plays around him. Nothing wrong with that, but the style of play was a clear mismatch in England. He will do good in Inter.

Yeah, he has that ability. Nunez is a good player, but he got big shoes to fill. Mane is a great, great player and made LFC so dangerous.

He for sure works a whole lot better in combination with a second forward. It's no accident he also had 11 assists (in the Serie A) in the 2020-2021 season.
