Thomas Tuchel insists it would be 'wrong' to change Chelsea's approach just to suit Romelu Lukaku with the £98m striker stuck in a scoring slump, as he says 'we do everything to help him' and labels him a 'key player'

Thomas Tuchel has insisted that Chelsea will not change their entire approach just to suit Romelu Lukaku, but has labelled the striker as a 'key player' despite his sluggish start to the season.

Boss Tuchel took aim at the frontman after the 1-0 defeat at Manchester City, having criticised him for surrendering possession cheaply. Lukaku also squandered his side's biggest chance in the second half, their only shot on target.

And when questioned on how the team can do more to aid the £98million signing out of his slump, the manager hit back, declaring that it would be 'wrong' to place focus on just one of his stars.
