So lukaku has started facing persecution already for being frank with how he feels at chelsea at the moment . its very unfair .
Re: Tuchel Drops Lukaku For Liverpool Game by ratiken(m): 4:12pm On Jan 02, 2022
Smart strategy by Inter and Lukaku. This has been part of the plan.

Inter gets almost 100M for Lukaku, Lukaku messes things up with Chelsea in first season and he is sold back to Inter at less than 30M after one season.

Lukaku pockets 15M for a scam well done, Inter smiles home with Lukaku and the balance funds

I will be glad if he is dropped for the rest of the season. Useless player trying to have a Ronaldo ego with Yakubu quality.

That was totally uncalled for from the Lukuka. I always say that the undoing of the round leather game will be the money spent on these players. Everyone now has a voice to be granting interviews up and down.

Let him stay on the bench for a while. cheesy

The Blues striker will sit out the clash at home to Jurgen Klopp's side after his controversial interview
Article continues below
GOAL has learned Thomas Tuchel has dropped Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea's squad against Liverpool after the striker conducted a controversial interview behind the club's back that was published this week.
Tuchel will reveal his squad to the team before the game on Sunday and the Belgian will not even be on the bench even after he was judged to be criticising his manager's tactics.
It has since emerged that neither the club nor the player's representatives knew of the interview beforehand. It appears to have arranged directly with the Sky Sport journalist in London.
Why does Lukaku face discipline?
The 28-year-old has been disciplined despite the magnitude of Chelsea's clash with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening.
His comments became football's biggest talking point on Thursday, outraging the west London club's fan base.
"I’m not happy with the situation and that’s only natural," Lukaku told Sky Sport Italia . "The head coach has decided to play a different system and I mustn’t let up, I need to keep working hard and be professional.
"I’m not happy with the situation but I’m a grafter and I mustn’t let up."
The timing of the story was unfortunate as it was published three weeks after it was filmed, with it released amid a drastic downturn in form for the Blues.
Although the context may have changed, the content of the quotes have frustrated many people around Lukaku.
Tuchel's was relaxed with the media's persistent questioning on Friday morning, however behind closed doors, several sources have said that the manager is angrier than it looked with his £97.5 million ($136m) striker from Inter.
Who could play instead?
Kai Havertz is well-placed to replace Lukaku despite a prolonged spell on the sidelines with Covid.
The Blues have also welcomed back Timo Werner, but he is still thought to be struggling to overcome his own bout with the virus.

There's also an option to play Christian Pulisic through the middle, but he has struggled to perform in a central role in recent weeks.
It's unfortunate timing for the Blues as Lukaku had been in good form, scoring two goals in two games after returning from Covid.
Lukaku messed up in the interview no doubt but the onus lies on the manager to handle it professionally so as not to cos rambling in the team....

Today am with Chikason22 today and I believe he will not mess up.
Re: Tuchel Drops Lukaku For Liverpool Game by spy24(m): 4:24pm On Jan 02, 2022

for me it was d worst tin to do considering d situation at d club dose kain interview na scam and since it was Sky Italia dat did it I think DAT was what they wanted him to say,,,,,, anyways he yesterday matches na when e b say home teams play very well and give the away teams a very intriguing performance but las las na away team day win



especially palace game na clinicality west ham use win dem upon say d gave a 7/10 performance
@the bolded. Is Lukaku a child to say what or read a written script from journalisthuh

Is Sky Italia having any 'beef' with Chelsea that they would want to get back at them via Lukaku by writing a script for him to readhuh

Does Sky Italia know the issues going on at Chelsea and have to use Lukaku to bring them outhuh


Even though I'm NOT and CAN NEVER be a Chelsea fan, Lukaku was and is still wrong for making those statements. If he's not happy and wants out, he should push for it.

I've heard players who revealed what's happening in the dressing room in a coded way without raising dust.

Lol.. Chai I remember how Chelsea fans were so happy to sign Lukaku , we warn them but them no hear
Not all of us were very happy because we know his limitations. We were relieved only because we believe he will convert most of the begging chances Timo Werner couldn't

Lukaku should be on the bench, I never wanted him in Chelsea in the first place. I blame Timo Werner for all this, if he wasn't misfiring, who would have thought of bringing a player like Lukaku to the club. Someone that can't even trap ball. Horrible first touch and he is now claiming superstar
I share absolutely the same feelings about him before he was bought, and while he's with CFC... I had always rooted for Haaland.

The Truth is Chelsea needs Lukaku!

This is not Arsenal/Aubameyang matter oo! sad

All those Pulisic, Mount, Odoi and co can't deputize for a real Lukaku!

Tuchel too has NOT helped Lukaku, to be honest! He plays Weird formations during matches and doesn't have a standard Eleven. huh sad

If Chelsea doesn't sign a Striker during the January Transfer window, they would suffer repercussions for this Tuchel's Decisions. undecided

Arsenal, Spurs and Man Utd will likely overtake dem! sad
