Maupay v Lukaku can anyone (other than GPott) be surprised?

 

[Ethelwulf]

game over . Good night every one

Maupay on Lukaku

Better than Lamptey

 

[Washie]

Pathetic defending, yes it's Lukaku, but there was zero defending happening.

 

[Acker79]

Took too long to react, kept trying to out muscle him, lost out and fell to the floor. VAR was never going to give that as a foul.

 

[Mike Small]

WTF is Maupay marking Lukaku? Another abomination from a corner!

He's not a good blocker. See Burnley on the opening day.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Townsend doesn’t seem to realise Lulu actually flailed his arm around Maupay first…

 

[METALMICKY]

Love Maupay but really needed to concentrate on trying to get in front of Lukaku instead of wrestling him.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Biggest bloke on their side………let’s allow him to have a free header! Genius tactics!

 

[maltaseagull]

Here we go typical set piece goal

Why is Maupay the player blocking Lukaku?
Or trying to.

 

[Washie]

We have zero physicality.

 

[Bridcutt]

We've had quite a few of those instances where we're just trying to block them. I remember us vs Burnley being one of them. VAR doesn't overturn them - why don't we know that

 

[The Fits]

Doesn’t matter what your defensive tactics are, playing against Lukaku you put your strongest player on him. The guy is a ****ing unit.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Chelsea ****ing tv

 

[Bodian]

Be interesting to see whether it was offside when winning the corner in the first place.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Poor defending that.

 

[Washie]

It wasn't, Lukaku watched the line.

 

[pb21]

Our set pieces are abysmal.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

At what point during training did GPot think it was a good idea to have Maupay marking Lukaku?

 

[TottonSeagull]

Our set pieces are abysmal.

Both attacking and defending
