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.
