Unenviable statistic: R. Lukaku's match against "Crystal Palace" was record-low inactivity © JumpStory

Romelu Lukaku still cannot find his optimal form. The Belgian scored 2 goals in 2 matches in the World Club Cup, but upon returning to the battles of the Premier League, he once again demonstrates rather poor football. In yesterday's match against Crystal Palace, R. Lukaku reached a record-low. The 28-year-old striker touched the ball only 7 times in the match against Crystal Palace, and one of them was at the beginning of the match, trying to free the ball from the midfield line. Such a result is the worst result since the 2003/04 season when such statistics began to be recorded. On the other hand, yesterday Chelsea's game was also not the best, so perhaps R. Lukaku cannot be fully blamed. Nevertheless, these numbers show questionable form of the Belgian.
