The disparager
They are absolutely ripping him to shreds on The Shed End.
They’re armchair losers on a website run like a dictatorship from a moderator named coco who should not be online. I wouldn’t pay any attention to The Shed End forum.They are absolutely ripping him to shreds on The Shed End.

The crowd turning on him is significant, the matchgoing fans tend to back the struggling strikers to the hilt (Werner is adored despite his struggles). He's crossed the line and i don't think there's anyway back in the fans eyes now.Haha fair enough, to be fair though the online fans on Reddit and Youtube are also ripping into him. These are the only Chelsea fans that I see frustrations from, so from what I gather, this must be how all Chelsea fans feel surely?
I’ve always said I prefer Werner, Havertz and Mount as a front 3. Better pressing and more productive. Lukaku slows us down and we change style when he’s in the team.Haha fair enough, to be fair though the online fans on Reddit and Youtube are also ripping into him.

You have had some pretty awful forwards.You've named 4 strikers signed 15 years apart. Sheva and Torres were signed 5 years apart. Morata was signed 5 years after Torres and Lukaku was signed 4 years after Morata, who we sold off for a huge fee recouping nearly all of the initial outlay.
In between all these big money flops we've had Costa who was great and sold on for a huge profit, and also a load of really cheap or free signings like Ba, Eto'o, Drogba 2.0, Falcao etc.
Kepa flopped and we've signed a cheap replacement who has turned out to be exceptionally good.
Conte is not stupid. Kane plays a massively important role in the build up at Spurs. Lukaku can’t be used in the same way at all. Conte will not exchange Kane for a different type of forward when he doesn’t have players with similar technical abilities that he had at Inter.Conte seemingly knows how to get Lukaku to work and Kane will finally be in a team with ambition and resources to win CL.
Eto'o was good for what it was. A stop gap ageing striker. Remy was okay too, just injured all the time, but a pretty good backup in the title winning season.You have had some pretty awful forwards.
Higuain, Kezman, Mutu, Pizzaro, Remy, Batshuayi, Torres, Falcao, Shevchenko, Morata, Eto’o
Feels like Werner and Lukaku are going on the list too at the moment.
Higuain was on loan and he was already in heavy decline by then. Same as Falcao. No idea why we took a punt on him after his disastrous loan at United.Higuain, Torres, Falcao, Shevchenko are all great strikers. How non of them worked out for Chelsea is a mystery.
And for Torres, you can’t even blame the country adaptation and that stuff. He was brought from Merseyside.
Very harsh on Eto'o (and probably Remy aswell too an extent).You have had some pretty awful forwards.

Torres already turned shite, people just assumed it was because he was sulking and/or playing under Roy's system.Higuain, Torres, Falcao, Shevchenko are all great strikers. How none of them worked out for Chelsea is a mystery.

14 games 1 goal(Everton) 3 assistsWhat's his record like against spurs? C'MON ROM need a big performance from you this weekend! All is forgiven
According to Transfermarkt:What's his record like against spurs? C'MON ROM need a big performance from you this weekend! All is forgiven
One of his best games this season was Spurs away in the league. Should really have walked away with 2 great assists.14 games 1 goal(Everton) 3 assists
Thanks for the image, it's pointless and a waste of your time but thanks. Like i didn't already know his stats for this season.
He is being scapegoated though, last season our highest goal scorer was Jorginho. This season it's the same, and yet everyone blames Lukaku.
What happened when Lukaku didn't play? 1-1 at home to Burnley, 1-1 Everton, 1-1 Man Utd, 0-0 away to Wolves, 1-1 at half time to Villa, scraped a 2-1 win away to Watford with an awful performance. The team is no better without him.
We play agains't arguably the best team in Europe and our whole team was crap including our best players in Kante and Kovacic and yet everyone blames Lukaku.
Like i said. 9 starts 5 goals, im pretty confident if we had Lukaku fit and he started every game we wouldn't' be 13 points behind Man City. We would be closer to them.
It’s not his fault his teammates are making mistakes and not playing to Rom’s strengths.
They aren't playing to his strengths just like we didn't. You have to change how you play and make him the priority but many teams aren't willing to make that sacrifice as they feel the overall impact is a negative in relation to the type of football they want to play. Zola said he preferred the team without him.He deserves ripping. Still hoping he can become productive... but that hope is like being lost at sea.

Maybe Chelsea should play in Serie A to get best out of LukakuThey aren't playing to his strengths just like we didn't.

Or in the League Everton played in when he was there. And play in Bundesliga to make Werner score.Maybe Chelsea should play in Serie A to get best out of Lukaku
Higuain was a finished player already on his last days at Juventus.Higuain, Torres, Falcao, Shevchenko are all great strikers. How none of them worked out for Chelsea is a mystery.
And for Torres, you can’t even blame the country adaptation and that stuff. He was brought from Merseyside.
Broja's style fits better with our team than Lukaku. But yeah it's a pipe dream. For better or worse, we're stuck with Lukaku, unless we get super lucky and find another club to take an expensive punt on him.I’d love to see us bring Borja back and let Lukaku watch from the bench. His ego wouldn’t cope.
What? Forlan scored when it mattered, either for clubs or country, he didn't hide or dissapear in big games.He becomes Forlan when a game has a bit of hype behind it
Complete opposite of ForlanHe becomes Forlan when a game has a bit of hype behind it
Forlan was thrice the player Lukaku is, and he scored in big games.He becomes Forlan when a game has a bit of hype behind it
That's a big-game Lukaku of comparisons.He becomes Forlan when a game has a bit of hype behind it
