Coach Thomas Tuchell has criticized the team’s striker Romelu Lukaku’s performance in Chelsea’s Premier League defeat to Manchester City. Kevin de Bruyne’s only goal of the match gave Manchester City a place in the Premier League.
Kevin de Bruyne scored the team’s winning goal in a crucial match. The player, who missed the ball several times, could not win any of the seven aerial duels in the match.
“He can do much, much better.”

“There were eight or nine changes that paved the way for the attack, but not a single touch was in the box. That was the main problem in the match, the performance of the forwards. We went backwards in position and timing. We lost the ball very easily.”
“Romelu Lukaku has to give his services sometimes. The player is also involved in this. Romelu Lukaku missed a lot of balls under very good conditions. The player got a good chance. It’s true that we need to get the ball to him. Tushel told the media.
Touchell said Chelsea deserved a point in the match and that the team performed well on defense and did not put too much pressure. Tuchel said it would be “very difficult” to overtake Manchester City and that Chelsea would fight to the end.
