It could be that Costa was a much better player than Lukaku. Just a hunch, though

Costa had much better service from the likes of Fabregas, Hazard & Willian. Lukaku has to play with bums. 

Anywhere but where he hit it and it’s a goal.  Wake up, Kante!

Plus the Chelsea side he played in had Fàbregas in it

we are playing quicker and less telegraphed passes which is great for moving the ball forward

He usually has a forward to link up with.

Yes. Playing with an invisible 9 doesn't suit him

Lukaku can't get in a position in order to have a simple hold up touch. 

f**king lukaku

That is given. I am just wondering how a big lump like Lukaku has no intelligence in these physical situations.

Need to find a way to get Lukaku involved.

You mean 5 defenders & 2 non creative mids. Very good point

Because he's a lump.

Has Patrick Viera got a part-time job in a cake shop?

You forgot the rest. He’ll probably blame the GK before he accepts any himself!

No idea why Tuchel decided to start Batshuayi this afternoon, ridiculous decision

50m+ bums at that. Doesn't hold water your argument. Chilly and Reece being out doesn't help but come on..

Hazard and Willian were both in the team when the same ridiculous service excuses were being made for Torres.

You never see it being made for actually good strikers because they deliver whatever the system or the teammates.

Lovely shot of the beautiful Croydon skyline there! It just screams ‘knife crime’ doesn’t it. 

Tuchel needs to tell the players....

Aim for the goal and you hit it straight at the keeper.

Aim for the post and the keeper is out of the equation.

He should stick to giving interviews. That's one thing he can actually do.

ziyech is on fiyah

Giroud at 34 is a better anchor than Lukaku. Can't get himself involved, can't jump, can't stay onside. Ziyech probably feels like he's playing with a player less.

That bit of play the ball was always going to end going in to the near post so where does Lukaku hide? 

pulisic 0/10

How is he not booked for that?
