If Tuchel is going to insist on playing him unconditonally then he needs to get on the phone to Rafa and asked him how he set up the compact Liverpool team that geared up everything towards Torres.

The thought of making such a change for his sake makes me want to throw up but something has to give and fast.

Might as well contact Conte...

Tuchel on Lukaku. "He had many ball losses w/o any pressure, many ball losses in very promising circumstances. He had a huge chance. We want to serve him, but he is part of the team, and the performance up front, particularly in the first half, we can do much, much better." #CFC

Actions speak louder than words.

I'll believe it when I see it.

He don't care

It's something when you pay a club record fee & look worse for it.

He's been with the team for more than half a year.

Clutching at straws if he thinks he can improve his touch.

With Lukakus horrible control we're playing with 10 men most of the time, which is why we need workhorses like Mount behind him to make up for it. Put Ziyech and Pulisic behind, and our front 3 were non existent.

We are stupid in buying someone for a record fee that previously had been called "trampoline touch".. shot ourselves in the foot. Can we even move him on in the summer?

PSG, Juventus, and Atletico are in need for a new striker. Our best hope is one of them would knock our door and buy Lukaku.

There has never been a  transfer that infuriated me as much as this transfer. Everything that I expected us to see with him in the team I am seeing. We are playing with ten men against eleven against every big team bar honey moon Arsenal and Tottenham from the start of the season.

Don't tell me that it's only on Havertz and Werener and Pulisic. These guys defeated City three times in a row last season and won us CL. What this fella is going to do. To make us miss out of CL if he starts every game till the end of the season.

I am just another football fan, but I , as many others ,  knew exactly what will happen if we sign him. . I refuse to believe that Tuchel was that dumb and uninformed with this transfer. This was club signing and it's unfair to blame Tuchel for this. He wanted Lukaku like he wanted Emerson or Kenedy. We can blame him for not keeping Tammy and Broja. 

Club signing. After the first CL we signed one belgian who became great for us. We did the same after the second CL hoping that history will repeat itself.

That's the worst thing of all. He will cost us more than 200 million with his wages. He will cost us dearly budget for transfers wise.

Torres for all his wrongs helped us to win CL. Lukaku will likely make us miss out of CL .

Havertz and Werner have a lot of uses despite their goal struggles. The former at false 9 facilitates us playing really enjoyable football and the latter causes teams headaches with his pace and pressing.

Lukaku is such a non entity in general play the only way he justifies his inclusion as an untouchable is with Messi and Ronaldo figures.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Actually we tried to play to lukaku's strengths today clearly but either he or the player trying to pass to him let us down. Ziyech, alonso, pulisic telegraphed most passes and the 3 times lukaku got a sniff he fluffed his lines.

Still he should no have played. A non-physical opponent who makes the spaces tight is perfect for a technician like Havertz. No idea why he sat it out.

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

Horrendous today. Absolutely pathetic. Has to do better even if its his type of game or not.

Lukaku to Juventus would be hilarious from a narrative POV. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,382]

God hope PSG or Aletico do us a solid.

Atletico bought Costa and Morata from us lol.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,182]

Hopefully Atletico can do us a solid, i read they are not planning on renewing Suarez... one thing is for sure, we would have to take a loss on this..

After dropping Lukaku for Liverpool  and having those clear the air talks with him,, I'd hoped that Tuchel had stamped his authority., and wouldn't be afraid to drop him in certain games as needed. Lukaku following his goofed up interview didn't have a leg to stand on.

Now it seems he's gone back to shoehorning him in every game., and Lukaku is back in favor. What gives?

I'm clinging onto the hope they've "made up" the same way Conte and Costa did and next season we can start afresh without this little brat.
