Romelu Lukaku has finally responded to criticism after his terrible performance vs Liverpool

Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku has finally responded to Gary Neville and others, who criticised him for bad display again Liverpool on Saturday, with everyone saying that he can’t perform against the big teams.

Since coming in England, the former Everton striker has scored only 15 goals in 57 matches against the “Big Six”.

During his time at the Toffees it was noticed that he always underperform when playing against the top sides, while his bad luck has chased him at United also.

“I don’t think too much about it. I just move on,” said the striker.

“I know expectations are really high but that is something I relish.

“When I was at Everton we have a different mindset going into games. Sometimes it was difficult against some teams when you play not to win and you don’t really create chances.

“I don’t put pressure on myself. The biggest pressure for me came in the European Super Cup against Real Madrid (in August) as that was the game when everyone was looking at me thinking, ‘Will he do it?’

“That game (in which he scored in a 2-1 defeat) freed me from everything.

“People will say this and that but I am in a situation where the team is performing really well even though there is a lot of work to do.

“The biggest strength is knowing you are going to score and knowing you are going to miss.

“A lot of strikers miss bigger chances than me but with me it is always, ‘Rom did this, Rom did that’.

“That is the standard I’ve set myself. It is something that happens in football and I am relaxed about it.”
