"Don't start this clown", "Man is a big baby" - Chelsea fans react to controversial Romelu Lukaku comments

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has been thrust into the spotlight for his comments on the Stamford Bridge experience under Thomas Tuchel. The Belgian, who returned to Chelsea on a club-record deal last summer, endured a bright start to his second stint at the club.Although Lukaku netted three goals in as many Premier League games at the start of the season for Chelsea, he quickly lost his form. The striker endured a four-game goal-drought in the league before picking up an injury. Following his return, Lukaku also contracted COVID-19, further delaying his involvement. While the Chelsea marksman has netted in each of his last two appearances, he has surprisingly expressed his disappointment in an interview. Lukaku conceded he was unhappy with the situation under Tuchel at Chelsea.Speaking to Sky Sports (via Fabrizio Romano), Lukaku stated:&quot;Physically I am fine. But I'm NOT happy with the situation at Chelsea. Tuchel has chosen to play with another system. I won't give up, I'll be professional. I am not happy with the situation but I am professional and I can't give up now&quot;Lukaku also stressed that he hopes to return to former club Inter and apologized to the fans for leaving the team last summer.“I think everything that happened last summer was not supposed to happen like this... how I left Inter, the way I left the club, how I communicated with Inter fans - this bothers me because it was not the right time&quot;&quot;Now it's the right time to share my feelings. I have always said that I have Inter in my heart: I know I will return to Inter, I really hope so. I am in love with Italy, this is right moment to talk and let people know what really happened&quot;Understandably, Lukaku's comments have not gone down too well with the Chelsea fans. Few of them took to Twitter as they expressed their disappointment with how the striker decided to conduct himself.One fan tweeted: &quot;Don't start this clown called LUKAKU sell him ffs&quot;AMG@KonfuzedTherop4@ChelseaFC Don't start this clown 🤡 called LUKAKU sell him ffs1:16 AM · Dec 31, 2021@ChelseaFC Don't start this clown 🤡 called LUKAKU sell him ffsHere are some of the other reactions from the fans:sento11@sentosan11@ESPNFC Just a 1 month baby with beards..thats lukaku12:38 PM · Dec 31, 20211@ESPNFC Just a 1 month baby with beards..thats lukakuDami ⭐⭐@TheChelseaWayLmao we bought ourselves a £100m letter bomb.12:28 PM · Dec 31, 202163Lmao we bought ourselves a £100m letter bomb.D🔱@DZKurtisssDon’t care if he’s good, I don’t want to see him play against Liverpool, Tuchel better drop him12:27 PM · Dec 31, 202113Don’t care if he’s good, I don’t want to see him play against Liverpool, Tuchel better drop himFutbolChelsea ⭐⭐@FutbolCheIseaThis goes for Lukaku, Christensen, Rudiger or any other Chelsea player.If you don't want to be here, leave.12:07 PM · Dec 31, 20212135370This goes for Lukaku, Christensen, Rudiger or any other Chelsea player.If you don't want to be here, leave.Gus Hernandez@GussHrnndz@ESPNFC Bro sorry to say but you can’t make it in the premier league!12:54 PM · Dec 31, 20211@ESPNFC Bro sorry to say but you can’t make it in the premier league!Jose Canales@b51bbd12673d4a6@ESPNFC Should have never brought him back, failed project and has never worked at Chelsea12:21 PM · Dec 31, 2021@ESPNFC Should have never brought him back, failed project and has never worked at ChelseaFrancesco Pessolano@FPessolano@ESPNFC Professionals never speak like this #lukakuOut12:26 PM · Dec 31, 20211@ESPNFC Professionals never speak like this #lukakuOutGavin O Keeffe@gavin_keeffe@ESPNFC Big fish prefers small pond, the shock.12:55 PM · Dec 31, 2021@ESPNFC Big fish prefers small pond, the shock.Mejja wa Gitugi ⭐️⭐️@mejja_mwangi@ESPNFC Signing Lukaku instead of Haaland is the worst mistake @Chelseafc ever made! 😬😭11:55 AM · Dec 30, 2021403@ESPNFC Signing Lukaku instead of Haaland is the worst mistake @Chelseafc ever made! 😬😭Odenigbo@a_gozieI’m not surprised to see Lukaku comments, Man is a big baby.
