There's nothing left to say that hasn't already been said for the past decade.

I remember when I laughed at Everton for paying us £28m for him.

Good times.

Not a single person would defend this guy if he was a free or cheap signing, but because he's a record signing it's one implausible excuse after another to justify his incompetence.

Last 5 games vs Palace we had 3,2 goals per game. First time starting with Lukaku and it's a terrible game that got saved by Alonso and Ziyech. What did Lukaku do this game part from hiding between defenders? Ah yes, he puts his hands up and then gets sad when the pass can't come. After watching this game it looks like he's faking it, he looked like he doesn't want to be here.

I really wanted this transfer to work out but I simply can't understand why did Tuchel stop playing Havertz in the middle and went all in for Lukaku, it's not winning us league games, Lukaku isn't consistent enough and he looks like he isn't really trying.

spot on. 

The flack Timo got on here last season was brutal. a small cohort defended him, and I was pretty vocal on my support for Werner, as he was creating, fighting and never gave up. 26 goals and assists over the season was decent.

This season, Lukaku not getting the same grief, despite offering so much less than Timo. No effort, no pace, no assists....

£100m move to Chelsea (2nd time)

£75m move to Inter

£75m move to United

£13m move to Chelsea (1st time)

It's rare to see any player move 3 times for a such an insane amount of money, but for a player of Lukaku's limited quality, it's unheard of.

That's what i'm most angry about, we had such a promising system that we have scrapped to accommodate this guy. Yes it wasn't perfect and the level of finishing was outrageous at times but i was really excited and looking forward to seeing that system grew and developed.

If we did it for a talent like peak Hazard then okay pro's clearly outweigh the cons but we have halted the progression of a really promising era for Romelu Lukaku, it's truly devestating and it's murdered my enthusiasm to watch the games.

we missed all our chances but now we hardly have any shots on target 😂

Which of his Uefa Champions League winning teammates is at fault for this @Hall?

 

If he starts in the final  I am  putting 1k on Liverpool to lift the trophy. Its literally the kiss of death vs any team, let alone a top team.

Werner looks so much more threatening and exciting even if he is perpetually offside.

No wonder I can't help but to criticize him, nobody has ever had this since that data is being recorded... He's robbing us with the wages he's getting.

I defended him quite a bit coming off injury but yeah this is terrible, we may as well play with 10 men 

5 touches in the game, that is an absolute f**king disgrace for our Striker, probably Tuchel got more touches, he seriously is Stinking this team to high heaven, and rapidly turning into the Worst regular CF to play in the last 20 yrs, making Torres look like erm erm....Costa , lol

Morata, another one of our fine recruits

Must be nice earning 300k a week like this with zero accountability

It's getting to the point I would genuinely take Morata back in a swap deal.

6 touches in a game (not counting kick off!) is shameful! Absolutely shameful.

Watching sours vs citeh - Kane had 6 touches on first 10 mins, dropping deep, spraying ball around, bringing others into play, fighting to win back the ball .... further shows what a fraud of a player the big lump is.

Missing, presumed dead…

There is no doubt in my mind. Morata is a worse finisher, but he pressed and was more involved that the donkey.

I'm not watching another Chelsea game he starts in, end of. It's not good for my mental health and I literally end up screaming at the fat, useless lazy c**t for 90 minutes. 100% Tuchel is being forced to play this absolute fraud due to the hierarchy not wanting egg on their face; if any of them had any f**kcing bollocks they'd ship him off in the summer for a cut price, put Broja in there and start afresh. Not even kidding ref. watching another game; I'll cancel my Sky Sports and spend that money on watching Newport County at the Parade; f**king disgraceful. c**t.

About as good as each other...

Morata's issues throughout his career have always been a mental one. He's a serial choker. If he didn't have this issue, he would have easily scored 20+ goals for us in his first season.

Then he benches him v Lille & Liverpool, & have him coming off the bench to see if he can get a reaction. You just know he will start him.

 

If you have to force it, it probably doesn’t fit. 
 

Says it all.

It's got to be some sort of money laundering LOL

So, £43K per touch today ?

f**k me ...

If Tuchel will start Lukaku v Lille and Liverpool then we will know that he is forced by the board to do that.

After such a ridiculous "performance" from Lukaku every coach would bench him in the next game(s).
