Romelu Lukaku was seen as the missing piece of the puzzle when he joined.
Chris Sutton, a former Blues player, says that Romelu Lukaku undermined Thomas Tuchel.
The Belgium forward was dropped from the team for their 2-2 draw with the Reds after an interview surfaced where he expressed his displeasure with his progress.
He came back to training on Monday.
What was the purpose of the interview and the unrest in the changing room? On Radio 5 Live, she said.
In August of this year, Romelu Lukaku returned to the club he had played for earlier in his career after a club-record £97.5m move from Inter Milan.
He said in an interview with Sky Sports Italia that he would like to play for Inter again, even though he is a bit-part player.
After a bright start to the season, which saw him score six times in his first seven games, he had suffered a number of injuries and Covid hampered his progress, but after talks with Tuchel he had scored twice in his past two games.
The German dropped him because of the noise around the club after the Italian interview.
The results of the conversation between Tuchel and Lukaku were not yet known.
He undermined the manager publicly. Tuchel had to take action because he would lose the respect of the players.
What was his motivation? This is a guy who has been around a long time. I thought he would be the difference this season.
He said that he is unhappy at Chelsea and that can cause unrest.
A guy with a big ego, a big reputation, was calculated what he did. This was not necessary. Every action has consequences.
"It's not so bad as people are trying to make out," said Richards, a former Manchester City defender.
He said that a lot of his comments were similar to what he was saying to his friends.
I would agree that it was really bad if he had said it in this country. The interview was to put the Inter fans at ease because he went from hero to zero in Italy. He slipped up because he tried to be honest.
I agree that he has done wrong, but I don't think he should say what the people expect him to say. He is known as an outspoken footballer, which is why he was signed by Chelsea.
The club is more important than any player, so a fan would be raging.
