(Leftists will, of course, prefer not to watch capitalist claptrap and adolescent millionaires in the premiership and instead to get their kicks watching the penniless and uncorrupted sunday leagues).
Seven touches. One of those was when he took the kick off. Tuchel said it's not the time to laugh at Lukaku... which is where I disagree, I would say that it is exactly the time to laugh at him. A lot. You'd also think that a CL winning coach might notice that his main striker was not in the game and do something about it, whether bringing on someone else or making a change to the system so as to benefit the centre forward. I suppose that you could argue that they won so it doesn't really matter... but if you have a player who is not touching the ball at all then something is not right. However many runs he was making that tied up defenders or whatever, you want your goal scorer on the ball and kicking it at least in the direction of the old onion bag.Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku set a new Premier League record for the fewest touches from a player who's played a full 90 minutes since statistics started being recorded by Opta in the 2003-04 season
