MARTIN SAMUEL: Romelu Lukaku is letting his Chelsea team-mates down

Daily Mail  

Romelu Lukaku is starring in a remake of Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. Not once did he get on the ball in Palace’s area, and one of his seven interventions was as a defender just outside Chelsea’s six-yard box. Tuchel made a strange excuse for Lukaku yesterday, saying that strikers have often struggled at Chelsea, but that isn’t strictly true. They have a relatively comfortable Champions League last-16 first leg against Lille tonight but, as Saturday’s match showed, nothing ever gets easier with 10 men. Dawson played well and scored West Ham’s goal, but he was also partly at fault for Newcastle’s equaliser because Joe Willock nipped in between him and Ryan Fredericks after Declan Rice’s misguided header.
