The Belgium international became a big topic of discussion after enduring a frustrating outing for Chelsea during their clash with Crystal Palace at the weekend.
Ferdinand played against Lukaku when the latter represented West Brom and Everton in the Premier League. The former Red Devils defender explained how difficult it was to come up against the Blues star while speaking in a video on his YouTube channel.
The Englishman remarked:
Ferdinand further explained that Chelsea aren’t making the most of Lukaku’s abilities. According to the legendary centre-back, the 28-year-old won’t be as effective as he used to be unless the Blues start playing to his strength.
He explained:
Romelu Lukaku’s disappointing outing with Chelsea against Crystal Palace
Chelsea earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the weekend, but it was Romelu Lukaku’s frustrating outing that got the most attention. The striker had what was arguably the poorest match he’s played in the blue jersey so far as he was largely isolated throughout the match.
Lukaku had just two touches in the first half of the game, and one of them came from the kick-off. By the end of the game, the Belgian had just seven touches, the lowest anyone has recorded in Premier League history.
Thomas Tuchel’s men currently occupy third place in the league standings, seven points behind second-placed Liverpool. They will next face LOSC Lille in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie tonight.
