Has Lukaku touched the ball today?Anyone noticed?

This sort of turgid keep ball doesn't suit him at all. Look where he has scored his goals. Ruthless counter attacking. Bit more of that would be helpful.

I know our crosses have been poor, but why is Lukaku always behind the defender? He never gets in front of them.

Unlike Timo who is always in front of defenders when the ball is played !

Lukaku has been superb so far, totally dominant up top 👀

Was just abt to post how poor a player he is .. and he scores.. 

but our tactics are madness there is no pressure on their playmaker..

Can't play an effective pressing game with a player who can't/won't do it.

Many of these long balls Drogs would have won. 

Ziyech has his flaws but he weighs in with a goal or 2 from time to time. More than some of the other options in his position.

It says a lot when you wish Lukaku played like Welbeck instead.

Ziyech is basically our version of Ozil.

Mount, Lukaku and Hudson-Odoi have all had zero shots on goal so far ... 

ffs Lukaku 

We have a drinking game at ours...we have a drink every time Alonso passes forward...been sober for 3 years now...

Lovely turn from Ziyech, despite the pass being far too heavy it was still the best ball anyone has played to Lukaku by miles tonight.

We have so many players who are physical lightweights. Ziyech, Pulisic, Jorginho and CHO. All of them get out-muscled far too easily.

He needs to come off.. Upsetting all the other players.. 

If anything Lamptey was almost too fast there

this match is making me ill

We are not a happy camp, does anyone else think there's friction between players.

Lamptey is really fired up playing against us.

I genuinely felt envy watching Brighton pen us in then.

I’m sick of this big horse just waiting for balls and whinging if it’s not on a plate for him 

CHO man 🤦‍♂️ 

how are our attackers unable to attack...

We're about to hear that he doesn't like this formation either.

CHO, just not a good finisher.
