Does Hazard hate Lukaku?

They seem to be arguing. Lukaku doesn't seem to be enjoying his teammates tonight at all

Hazard only sees one person on the pitch and that's himself.

You know if he's passing it to you he's looking for it back!

I don't think so? It's pretty clear he is only been signed as a 3rd choice for this season because our own young keeper are going on loan or moving on.

I'd imagine they'll hardly be ready for our senior team after one year? Ideally it would be something like Courtois where (hopefully) Joel Pereira will establish himself for two years at a club and then possibly provide some competition to DDG as both Romero and Grant would then move on. Mourinho kept Hilario at Chelsea for years as 3rd so he clearly likes an elder GK in that role while youngsters play. Grant is also HG.

Just noticed Grant is apparently only getting a one year deal. Thats actually a slight suprise tbh.

Big Rom for the hat trick tonight to keep him at arms length of that Harry fella.

I think that the key is that when the ball goes back to him, you're happy that it is going to safety. Not one United fan here could say that they are nervy when it goes back to him. You can't ask for much more for your goalkeeper really, when his core game is based around his contribution in the box.

Agree.

When he first signed it seemed like a strong point. Pin point passes.

But it seems that part of his not only hadn't improved but gotten significantly worse over the seasons.

It is weird.

Well not really, last season was a poor one by his standards alright but the season before he was pinging balls around, mainly straight to Fellaini’s chest or Ibras head. I thought the season before last was one of his best distribution wise..

If a replacement was needed for DDG right now, Oblak would be the top of my list.

Agreed, him or Donnarumma

Last season he was noticeably worse in his distribution. By and large, he is normally very good. You're never worried about a mad pass or a sliced clearance. He is solid in that area in a team that isn't asking the goalkeeper to play with ball at feet a lot.

Not doubting how good he is at saving shots and that is his job but interestingly has is worst long pass accuracy r last season of any of the top 6 first choice keepers, He is 8 % behind his closest rival
No idea how he shapes up against the rest of the keepers outside the top six
So maybe it is something that has been over looked due to his god like shot stopping .

Plus for all the unreal save's you can live with it

Sorry must remember must not ask a question about a united player if its question a certain part of there game ,
We all know he is the worlds best shot stopper but iv never heard anything ever mentioned good or bad about him with the ball ,

We watch him week in, week out. He has decent distribution. It was actually something commented on quite a lot when he first signed.
When I said we don’t care, I meant we don’t care if he’s having a few issues finding a team full of dwarves and Diego Costa.

Im liking the run into this WC, delighted Spain got knocked out yesterday, some of the heavy hitters have just not peeformed and didnt deserve to go through. The teams like mexico, colombia have been great to watch.
