He has a nipple disorder, he gets nipple erection everytime he scores, he’s just embarrassed and hiding them.

Stop being so judgemental Valerie!

Forgive me, I shouldn't be so nipplist 

It's just that that Broja photo rekindled my severe trauma of almost being run over by Anelka in his tank of car when I happened to cross the entrance to the Bridge. I really shouldn't take it out on Broja. 

Can't believe how much money we spent on this waste of space. He's got the touch of a brick wall and the footballing intelligence to boot.

And the worst thing is. Ziyech and Pulisic will get hauled off (Not necessarily wrongly) while he'll last the 90 and start again at Brighton.

That's the thing I'm fed up with the most, he doesn't get held to account the way the others do.

He hasn’t been great but my god those other two have been pure sh*t and have been since they came here. I’m willing to give Lukaku a chance but those other two should be gone. 

Another big game, and yet another sh*te performance from him. What a waste of £100m, he's made us a worse team. He shouldn't be anywhere near these big games.

He can throw his arms in air and complain about lack of service as much as he likes, but the simple fact is that he has a dogsh*t touch, he turns like a tank, he can't run with the ball, he has garbage hold up play, he's often behind the defender when a cross comes into the box, he doesn't use his strength well, he losses every 50/50. He's just not good enough and he never will be. A signing that will set us back years unless we find some idiot club to take him off our hands.

City must have been so happy to see Lukaku play both games against them.

If his inclusion can even be remotely justified he has to take the chance he got in the second half.

I don't want to hear great save by Ederson, with his cost and what he takes away from the team in terms of fluidity and control, lots of goals even at the Ethiad is minimum requirement.

What makes me laugh is people saying he held his hands up 30 times and nobody found him, but half the time he's the wrong side of a defender or asking for an impossible pass. All we are going to judge him on is the chances that come his way, not the chances that don't come his way.

Inter have had our pants down. I had a feeling this was the wrong move at the time and it’s looking more and more that way. 
 

He’s an absolute passenger in big games. For £100m he should be scoring that chance today. His touch hasn’t gotten better either.

 

Guy is pony.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a clause in his contract, saying he must never be subbed off, no matter the circumstances.

What a waste of money. We’ve actually spent £100m to go backwards. It’s the Chelsea way.

He's a ladder for defenders to win aerial balls.

He asks for balls like we have Beckham, Xavi and Messi in the team. 

Doesn't know how to press but he sure knows how to talk to one. 

His fans can defend him to the high heavens, I don't hold as much hope for him against top clubs anymore

Have to agree. Never wanted him back, and definitely didn't want him to start today. Offered nothing, and cocked up plenty. Tuchel was asked after the game about the service to him. He said he wants Lukaku to improve the service he gives to others. So true

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.

Interesting to hear Tuchel’s comments on lack of service FROM him. Does raise the question - why didn’t he sub him then. Maybe he felt he was still a key goal threat.

It was interesting to see how at some point by the end of the game it was Werner playing on the wing and trying to put up a cross. That reminded me of how Lampard was playing him far away from the box.

In this match it looked like we essentially don't have a winger nor a striker. Not sure how many factors there are that make our front 3 not being capable of doing anything in this match but you can't argue that Lukaku wasn't the problem since he played the full game and regardless of who was around him, nothing worked.

Unfortunately there is one major difference. Torres at Liverpool is one of top 3 strikers ever to play in this league. Lukaku is unable to finish a simple 1v1.

Werner was closer to scoring in just 20 minutes.

Lukaku destroying Serie A fooled so many people. It's a league where the likes of Giroud can go play every week at the age of 35, legs gone and still score goals. There's nothing different about Lukaku, he's the exact same player we all said wasn't good enough when we let him go to Everton and signed Morata over.

Nobody can convince me that Abraham would have been any worse than Lukaku, if anything, he would have been better because his game suits the formation and style of football we play far better than Lukaku. I didn't think Abraham was the answer going forward, and I still don't now, but at least we could always plan ahead and bring somebody better in instead of putting ourselves into a position where we are stuck with a player on massive wages and a huge transfer fee.

Tuchel’s post-match comments make me think he will drop him unless his teamwork improves. 

I thank Tuchel for not papering over the cracks.

[Ben Dinnery] 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."

Chelsea playing like FSW-era Liverpool would be a huge hit with our fanbase

Hard to drop him when Werner and Havertz are even worse.

Torres was a great pacy striker before his hamstring was gone. This is Lukaku at his absolute peak yet doesn't even have the stamina for 90min

Lukaku is not going to like that. As true as it is.

Can see this marriage ending in a divorce quickly the way things are going. In some ways I have sympathy for Lukaku though. Going from a well functioning Inter attack with a partner in crime right beside him to the absolute dross he's surrounded by here.

The likes of West Ham and Leicester have better attacking players than we do.
