Chelsea legend Joe Cole thinks his former club should’ve kept Romelu Lukaku at the club this season despite his “faults”.as they saw their run of four matches unbeaten come to an end with Mauricio Pochettino’s side 11th in the Premier League table.
The hosts failed to take advantage of a first half that they largely dominated, going close through Noni Madueke who struck the crossbar on his first start of the season. “You here all the buzz words around the club but at the end of the day, we can’t score goals,” Cole told“With Romelu Lukaku, for all of his faults, he was in the door. He was a success at Inter Milan, he scored goals at Everton and West Brom in this country, why couldn’t he score goals at Chelsea? What was wrong
“I don’t blame the manager one bit. Him and his staff are doing everything they can and I don’t even blame the players. They are all top players.And Pochettino insisted after the match against Brentford that Chelsea are “not nasty or clinical” enough in front of goal and must develop a ruthless streak.
