Lukaku has been dropped from today's Chelsea squad to play Liverpool .. seems he has royally pissed off Tuchel with his well publicised critical comments .. will Chelsea now all but write off a near £100 Million investment ?
Smart by Tuchel, it's not the type of game Lukaku is decent in, but it's a big game - drop him to send a message, and play the team more suited to the game anyway.
If you're van Dijk though would you rather mark Lukaku or whoever Chelsea will play there instead (Pulisic, Havertz etc)? I'm guessing he will be quite happy if Lukaku is missing.
However i do agree with the stance Chelsea have made. In the past Chelsea have been a club who've definitely sided with players over managers so assuming that Tuchel has got the boards permission to omit a 100m striker, it can only be applauded.
Honestly? Lukaku. Van Dijk is strong and quick, he negates Lukaku. Havertz is more likely as a false 9 to drift around to try and pull Van Dijk out of position.
I don't believe there's a single defender in the league who would rather play against Lukaku than Havertz.
when a striker who in his career scores 1 in 2, and is called overrated, the world have gone mad
I went mad years ago mate, but I'm not taking full responsibility for the world's madness just yet. In my opinion, Jota is a better striker than Lukaku. BTW, Jota scores 1 in 2 for Liverpool.

Headline tomorrow, Tuchel sacked after dropping £100m striker.
If the game carries on like this, you may be right!

VAR can check that so why isn't the referee being told to book him!!
