Yeah the Lukaku thing is utterly ludicrous. To complain about not having a striker whilst he is out on loan is surreal.

Funny thing is that I think Lukaku is just about everything Graham has ever wanted in a PL striker but never had access to... and despite them being contracted to same club they're extremely unlikely to ever work together.
Fat, lazy, first touch of a clown and sulky?

Yep

Two exceptional wingbacks who can cross with Lukaku in the box will yield goals, his perceived mannerisms and attitude doesn’t matter
Lukaku is world class but going missing for whole games because you’re “unhappy” isn’t acceptable. His infamous six touch game springs to mind.

From memory he wasn’t utilised properly by Tommy T and they didn’t play to his strengths. He simply wasn’t suited to the system played.

Typically a 1 in 2 striker wherever he’s been away from Chelsea and a 1 in 3 at Chelsea the second time round confirms his quality when his primary job is measured.

Yeah. Wouldn't solve all their issues but I firmly believe he would score a lot more goals than Kai Havertz ever will.

Don't know if anyone else heard but David Moyes was good on 5 Live after the game. Talking about Potter and his comments on managers and mental health and basically called out 606(and most of the Football press) for hyping up managers sackings and encouraging it
 


Maybe Lukaku is like Maupay a couple of years ago where he has a strop, silks and disrupts the dressing room so they play him to shut him up. Besides if the guy is earning 8m a year in wages ( my estimate) why let him get paid stupid money for sitting on the bench

Sterling was, presumably, supposed to block him instead of letting him run straight past while standing still watching the ball.
It was mental defending - very un-Potterlike. If the players aren’t following instructions though that’s a big issue.
