Romelu Lukaku should never have joined Thomas Tuchel Chelsea as per Thierry Henry and here is why.

Arsenal Legend Thierry Henry has issued a statement and said that he had warned Romelu Lukaku never to join Thomas Tuchel Chelsea but he had seem to refuse and the results have played out clear and it was never in his favor.

Lukaku struggled badly after returning to Chelsea last season, and Henry said that when the two had worked together with the Begium national team, he had warned the striker not to move to Chelsea because the style of play Thomas Tuchel employed wouldn’t suit him.

Thierry is a great pundit, and we can forgive him this one smug story. We’re not sure we agree with him though – there weren’t many people forseeing the Lukaku drop off under Tuchel.

Tuchel had managed similar strikers successfully before, and the forward looked good when the full backs were in the team and he wasn’t injured, before the whole thing fell apart.

The reasons were certainly partly a tactical incompatibility, but there was a lot more to it than just that.
