How Chelsea can get the best out of Lukaku according to former target man

Chelsea have been without Romelu Lukaku for a long time now, and he hadn’t even had long enough to find his form properly before the injury.

He starts tonight though, and his team finally have a chance to start the process of figuring out how to use him all over again.

The BT Sport team – including top former target man Peter Crouch – commented that Thomas Tuchel hadn’t got the team playing to his strengths just yet, and we won’t see him scoring like he has done in the past until they do. Let’s hope tonight marks the start of that era.

You can see their tactical discussion in the clip embedded here:

Crouch says that they can use him playing with his back to goal and linking up with teammates, something we’ve seen plenty of, but also need to get him into space where he can use his speed and strong running ability to break the lines.
