“Flush him out, he’s got an Ego of Cristiano Ronaldo” – Chelsea fans blasts Chelsea star for making football looks ‘difficult’ for Tuchel after FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool
Chelsea fans have blasted striker Romelu Lukaku for his poor performance in Saturday’s FA Cup final loss to Liverpool.
However, At Wembley, the Blues were defeated 6-5 on penalties, making them the first team in tournament history to lose three finals in a row. The Premier League powers drew a goalless stalemate after 120 minutes, just as they did in the Carabao Cup final in February. Liverpool triumphed 11-10 on penalties back then.
After both sides missed one penalty, the first round of the penalty shootout concluded 4-4, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Sadio Mane being the culprits. Following a miss by Mason Mount, Kostas Tsimikas scored the game-winning penalty as the Merseysiders won their ninth FA Cup.
Lukaku has received a lot of flak for his dismal performance. In 85 minutes of activity, he failed to fire a single shot on target and completed only five passes.
The Belgian was in excellent form coming into the contest, having scored three goals in his previous two outings, but he dropped another stinker in the final. In general, his touches were dreadful. In the first stanza, he also missed a good chance over the crossbar, though Virgil van Dijk deserves credit for closely marking him.
Meanwhile, Chelsea fans have now taken to social media to vent their frustrations at the 29-year-old. Here are some of there reactions:
@BlueNawaz: Lukaku is a messy footballer. He makes football look much more difficult and messy than it is. He makes everything looks so difficult.
@MUFC_redarmy99: Romelu Lukaku has the ego of Cristiano Ronaldo and the ability of Jonathan Walters.
@emil_cfc: Lukaku is always one step behind when he gets his chances
@Giwason09: Lukaku probably had three touches the whole game. Smh
@adrianchels: Lukaku has one good game out of every 10 games
@cam031180: he’s literally done nothing
@Pedro4839: Flush him out of my team
