At a crucial time of the season when English Premier League club Chelsea need all of their attacking players to hit top form and continue finding the back of the net, it has not really been the case and the Blues have suffered as a result. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has a crop of attacking talents at his disposal including the likes of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Callum-Hudson Odoi, Hakim Ziyech, Romelu Lukaku, and Christian Pulisic but even though they all appear as exciting attacking options on paper, they have not been giving enough output as they should on the pitch. This has cause Chelsea a lot of problems and some people have handpicked the players they want to blame in the team.

Lukaku has partly taken a portion of the blame for his poor run of form this season because he has been starting games on a steady basis. He is also a club-record signing after re-joining the Stamford Bridge outfit from Inter Milan last summer for a huge sum of £97 million. After impressing fans and the club following his first few games of the season that saw him score a handful of goals, he has been struggling to hit the target recently and it has continued to cost the team and make them lose precious points.
