talking before a FA Cup Final

Jesus Christ...

Lukaku reacted against his own manager

All seems very convenient timing to try and disrupt our FA Cup preparations ... probably some Scouse-loving media muppet is behind it ...

Lukaku's agent is a right mug isn't he?

Bragging about being the top scorer whilst playing less minutes. Congratulations on doing your f**king job. How many of those goals were against the Top 6?

I agree with virtually everything you post brah!

This seems to happen every single time before a cup final with us.

Sorry, that's what I meant

I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt here, not even he would be silly enough to do this before a cup final after finally winning back a small bit of goodwill (in general, he's got a long way to go until he gets there with me).

I think his agent has either been baited into the chat or gone rogue.

Don't really feel the agent said much wrong anyways. New owners come in and he wants to look after his client, so wants to know if they plan on keeping him or not.

The irony of lukaku saying about keeping his mouth shut! So what about that mid season interview in which you said you wanted to go back to inter?

Its a joke at this point tbh

His performance against Leeds was good and he is on form. He should start the final. 

Right now it's all about giving a good performance. 

If we play the ball in early to Rom I'm all for him starting. If we're just going to recycle possession and play slow possession and pass to the wing and keep trying to play into a crowded box then it doesn't really matter if it's Rom or Havertz.  

Think it's a tough call for TT,  history tells us he chooses players on form. Good chance we see a similar front line to Leeds.

I would like to think it is a machiavellian type of move to make LIverpool think the Chelsea players were full of dissension and rifts.

However, think it is just a desperate agent trying to earn another pay day.

 

Today was his chance, the chance to finally turn up to a big game, some fans were willing to give him one more chance and he blew it, again. It's the story of his career. He is not good enough, he has to go. The longer he is here, the longer it will take to progress.

Can't stress this enough. We wouldn't be Chelsea if we didn't follow an incredible season with a mediocre transfer window eh? Seems to happen every time without fail.

I think I saw him get the drop on VVD once, and be blazed a difficult chance high and wide, not a patch in god enough going forward, so end the drama, and get rid, TT can’t get a tune from this fiddle, when it has no strings to play…

For me he is not a big game player, he is not an intelligent player, and he simply doesnt fight enough to make things happen.

He is a good finisher - but that alone is not enough.

I have zero trust in him being a player that is capable of dragging us over the line in any given big match. Drogba used to, Costa used to, Eden used to, Frank and JT used to...but not this fraud.

Unfortunately it’s time to admit that i and the club have made a massive mistake on signing him. Again, not turning up in big games has been an issue with him all his career. I thought he had ironed out issues and developed his style and attitude under Conte. In reality, it was Conte making him better and the system. 
 

Huge problem. 

What a dog sh*t performance by our record signing. I really hope we can somehow ship him in the summer it’s been a total disaster

I'm not defending him but we aren't exactly the most coherent team going forward. We struggle to make the right choices when attacking more often than not.

TT will need to change that next season if we want to have better success.

Ive defended him on here but as Scott said yesterday was his big chance and he was really poor. Lets hope we can get a good offer for him in the summer.

But it's not just with us he flops in big games. In Belgium he has/had two of the best players in this generation 'feeding' him and still disappears when it truly matters.

This guy should never start a big game again no matter how much stat padding he does in the games leading up to it.

I’ve actually defended him a fair bit early on, but you get a performance like that in a cup final it’s embarrassing. Is he capable of being an important player for us? Yes. Does he want to? No, not if he’s turning up in this shape and putting in that much effort.

Don’t try and pass blame on to the club for your misdeeds!
