slimghost: Not impressed one bit. Then again, it is too early to write him off. Thankfully, he is here for 6 months only. He can’t even get the players to press
Godx: why will Tottenham or even Kane agree to a swap? Especially Kane who wouldn't dare piss off the Tottenham fans by going to another London club. Levy won't even dare it.
Android22: Even though I support TT on the Lukaku issue, I think we haven't seen the end of it. TT is really intelligent, however, I feel people underestimate how intelligent Lukaku is. I personally think he is more intelligent than TT and it makes me all the way suspicious that Romelu had factored this event in his grand scheme. If that is the case, it makes me suspect that TT's position in Chelsea is not stable and Lukaku released this interview to set that in motion.
So in order to sack Tuchel Lukaku had to do interview and you call that intelligent from him. You see how we played from the front against liverpool, the game was entertaining. Mark Henry need to be sold. I nor know Wetin Dey worry Marine to sign him in the first place. That’s how they destroy conte’s second season with wrong signings; you have Matic and Kante, after winning the league and then sold Matic to get bakayoko and drink water. Mumu.
The prevailing circumstances is not the worse we have ever been, so come off this excuses. I would rather be Chelsea today than be Liverpool without their inspirational coach. Chelsea had no excuse not to win a team without a first team coach and our recent turmoil should have been source of inspiration rather than excuse not to celebrate a comeback draw. I will not worship mediocrity, I demand better and I know we can get better if the coach look beyond this excuses and maximises the full strength of each players.
Like say football na 1+1 equals to 2. You don’t see that your front men are still young so they make mistake most times. How is it Tuchel’s fault that Pulisic couldn’t score one on one with the goalkeeper. Tuchel tactics worked there because he always instruct his attackers to press from the front.
OJURONGBE1: That's a tall order. I like Lukaku but that utterances disgust me. In as much as i feel Tuchel should tinker with his formation sometime, we can all agree that he is a tactician and his football knowledge is higher than ours. Lukaku messed up and he's still acting like what he said didn't hurt a fly.
Lukaku can't do anything against big teams ofr big games so what's his use. Do exchange with Tottenham for Kane end of season, good for everyone. Tott is his level; no too much expectation from him there.
OJURONGBE1: You read my mind. I can't complain. It was a good game .
Bench Jorginho and lukaku or sell them and get better players and see us dominate the league. You can’t win the league with those two players. Sign Tchouameni and Martinez or Kane then we are good to go.
Havertz10: even germans will tell you that he always brings his A game at the business end of the season, i think its because he is young and still growing into his body but if something is at stake, havertz will perform.
Havertz is a good player, he is still young and growing. Nor be every player be messi or Hazard wey start at tender age.
iamoyindamola: It all make sense now, the reason the interview was released now is probably because of transfer window Honestly Chelsea should just do a direct swap collect Martinez and send this son of Hades back to San siro
Yes I will like it if we get Martinez for the now. That big head need to be sold.
seankafor: I wonder what abrahimovic go dey reason now..
See small lukaku taking a whole religion like Chelsea to the cleaners
I trust Arabs, if na those Arab money, Dem no mind to dey pay am to sit on the bench..
He knows he is an average football so he uses his mouth to put himself in high places in football. Even Ole benched him cos of the way he plays. If not that football don spoil to stat padding who be lukaku for where men wey sabi Dey.
Theuniverse: did chelsea win champions league with costa, ur argument falls flat. bring costa records and compare to lukaku records before talking.
Costa la liga for atletico in the midst of hot barca and Real Madrid, made ucl final too. Scoring meaningless goals against weak team. I haven’t seen lukaku do anything tangible when it matters most.
BlueMann: So because Lukaku cost 90m+, Tuchel should give him a pat on the back and continue to play him despite all the things he said, and the negativity it has generated.
What kind of message would you as a manager be sending to the rest of your squad if you condone such things as what Lukaku has done?
Theuniverse: baggy jeans and timberland player that scored our last 2 games abi,. truely lukaku was right. this is conte and costa clash all over again how did that end, make tuchel try am next game again, dat time we go see if him go fit bring 90million buy player.
Chelsea won ucl without lukaku, what are you saying. Costa is a better footballer than Lukaku. Chelsea should sell Lukaku to Newcastle to get their money back.
Theuniverse: tuchel dey crase. dropping lukaku as if he cannot talk to him and get apology, so who will strike 2day, why not bench him, if lukaku now starts dressing room crises who does our stupid coach thinks the club will back. our 90million man or this german mourinho.
He should be dropped. Who is lukaku, persons wey dey play football like who wear baggy jeans and timberland. Mount Werner and Havertz should play against big teams, that has always be what I want and now that Lukaku don sh1t for church make him remain that way.
Ibime: Imagine those ones dealing with Pogba, Martial and Phil Jones trolling when they are the epitome of dysfunction. If you check well, Martial salary is equal to Lukaku. That one shows them he is unconcerned on the pitch for the last 7 years and they keep renewing his contract.
See Eric Bailly and Pogba trolling them. Eric Bailly is saying even if he is not happy, he is chopping their money and buying nice cars with it while Pogba is laughing. Hensben can translate.
Shedenbelalanme: Chelsea were not his first choice there were 4 in his list of priorities If those 3 nor work the fourth one go work, he never rated you guys
Amd who even rate him. Someone that is not good for top club. Yea
Ibime: Will you be quiet and stop talking rubbish. Jorginho pace cannot be helped yet criticise Lukaku for being a big body striker that can't run around like a skinny striker. Your breath stinks.
Which team did we dominate? Thank God Lukaku only started the last game. Tell me how many games you dominated in the last two months with your ninnies. So midfield is no longer the area you look to dominate games, you are concentrating on striker. May you get sense this New Year
We we’re dominating team before injuries plagued the team and then last game when Lukaku played fully we were dominated due to what the man you quoted said about him. Lukaku is not the way forward if we want to win trophies. He is technically average.
popizaino: Swiz and henben are just surprising me this technique they are talking about[b], ko ni da fun aye technique lona orun[/b] who needs this technique when the goal is to put the ball at the back of the net kwanu?
Like so far Lukaku score you don’t care if we lose or draw or play below par due to his lack of off and on ball intelligence. Havertz is more important in tuchel set up than lukaku.
Amoto94: Never get high off your own supply, unfortunately Lukaku doesn't understand this rule If I were Tuchel he won't see game time anytime soon after this idiotic interview.
True! He should be benched. We should rely on Havertz and Warner to see off the season. Not that he is important to the team.
airmark: Lukaku not pressing from the front is not why we are dropping points. Didn't we drop points when Lukaku wasn't playing?
Lukaku's lacks are negligible compared to benefits he brings to the team if properly harnessed. Last season it was obvious the team needed a scorer and he hit the ground running when he arrived but injuries and Covid affected him in particular and the team in general.
If he can convert one out of 3 chances, i am ok with him than a Morata with better techniques but misses bag load of chances that sink my team.
We made our best run when he was not playing; the play and the win were beautiful without him. Morata is a weakling and misses chances.
airmark: Though his words were stretched for reasons known to the news outlets, Lukaku fumbled. I am expecting him to continue banging in goals, like he promised in the interview - never give up.
Nothing concerns me with lack of ball playing technique in a striker, just bang in goals and assist.
chief are you aware lukaku’s presence in that front is a big disadvantage, he doesn’t press from the front and run to deceive when without the ball. Tuchel’s defense starts from the front men.
OJURONGBE1: It is already over. Our best chance is to stay within touching distance of the top 3, but it is becoming increasingly difficult with Spurs & Arsenal breathing down our neck. Just 1month ago, Man city were 3rd on the table with Liverpool in blistering form beating teams black & blue but the tide has turned and Man city are running away with the league. Guardiola is a Premier league legend already.
You were the one saying lukaku was injured and I told you Tuchel don’t fancy his style of play, now you can see.
Astrid4: That I don't understand...haaland and lukaku are different form of player their styles are opposite it high time Chelsea started giving managers money to get players of their choice if this has been put in place we won't be stuck with useless players like lukaku and Harvetz (am 1000% sure lampard would have never sign Harvetz) chillwell is lampard's signing so far he's been doing well. I'm just disappointed with this lukaku's statement I mean it's annoying.
Me I am not disappointed with his stamens because I knew for long he is not built for top team, he doesn’t have the mentality and skill set to play for a top club, his level of play is for above average club and league. Na because football don spoil due to stat mangers and medias, lukaku doesn’t have top player skill set, the way he plays is pain to the brain, he shouldn’t be robbing shoulder with top strikers if not that football have poor assessment this days.
