Romelu Lukaku should be “going nuts” at his Chelsea teammates over a lack of service.The Belgian has struggled massively this season for the Blues and only managed seven touches of the ball in their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday.Lukaku’s non-existent performance prompted former England strikers Lineker and Shearer to come to his defence on Match of the Day by arguing that Thomas Tuchel’s side were not creating enough opportunities for him.And Ferdinand has now also taken to his Vibe with Five podcast to slam Lukaku’s team-mates for his lack of service and goals.Ferdinand said: “I agree with Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer by the way, if anyone saw their comments. If I’m Lukaku I’m going nuts."[I would be saying] get me that ball, get wide and cross me the ball, play the ball in behind when you get the opportunity, play to my strengths."I think that’s probably the biggest issue you’ve got with Chelsea at the moment - what’s their best team? I don’t think Tuchel knows his best team at the moment."He wants to get a £100million player in - which is understandable - in Lukaku and he’s hit a bit of a bad run in terms of goals.”Do you think Romelu Lukaku was the wrong signing for Chelsea?

Chelsea have taken a big step towards the next round of the Champions League after they beat Lille 2-0 in the first leg of their knockout tie.It took Kai Havertz just eight minutes to open the scoring after he headed home from Hakim Ziyech's corner to put Chelsea ahead, and Lille were fortunate to go into the break just a goal down.Injuries dominated the early stages of the second half as Mateo Kovacic and Ziyech limped off down the tunnel, but Christian Pulisic alleviated the pressure by adding a second after 63 minutes to give the home side some breathing space.It was a comfortable night for Chelsea, and it could have been a more convincing win if their flow wasn't disrupted early in the second half, but Thomas Tuchel will feel confident heading to Lille with a two-goal advantage against the French Champions.As Chelsea take control of their Champions League knockout tie, here Daily Star Sport takes a look at what Tuchel got right at Stamford Bridge...It was a huge decision by Thomas Tuchel to leave Romelu Lukaku out of the starting line-up against Lille, but it paid off as Chelsea looked fluid in attack in the absence of their summer signing.It was a game to forget on Saturday for Lukaku, who touched the ball just seven times against Crystal Palace, and Tuchel pulled him out of the line-up after vowing to 'protect him' following the backlash from the fans.Although on his day he is their best centre-forward, it provided a lift for the whole team, who seemed to play with more freedom.It appeared to catch Lille off guard too, as centre-back pairing Jose Fonte and Sven Botman were likely preparing to face Lukaku all week, but took time to adjust to the agility of Chelsea's font-three.In the absence of Lukaku from the
