Chelsea Lukaku is definitely joining Chelsea, that is no longer a secret. If Chelsea could be so irrepressible under Tuchel without a top notch centre forward, how definitive will they be with one as imposing as Lukaku? Before Tuchel, Chelsea had played 20 EPL games last season winning 8, with 6 draws and 6 losses. They scored 33 goals and conceded 23 in that period on an average of over 1 goal per game conceded. In comes Monsieur Tuchel the enigma. He improved the records to 11 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in the 18 EPL games he managed. Goal conceded dropped to 13 goals (a freak 5-2 loss to West Brom accounted for nearly 40% of the goals conceded) and goal scored stood at 25. Impressively, Chelsea kept 10 clean sheets in those 18 games under Tuchel. Chelsea via Werner were probably the most wasteful team in front of goal last season. Werner just couldn't catch a break as he spurned several glorious chances to score simple goals. With a brutal goalscoring machine in Lukaku how high can Chelsea go? Despite their shortcomings they won the Champions League with Tuchel tightening the previously leaky defence. Now with a striker who bully defenders at will are they to be expected to challenge for the EPL title this year? Brace up; the drama starts this Friday!
