Thomas Tuchul has responded to Antonio Conte's claim that Chelsea are yet to figure out how to use Romelu Lukaku.
Following a glittering start to his second Chelsea stint, the Belgium international has recently hit a barren patch, with his side falling to defeats against Manchester City and Juventus.
Former Chelsea coach Conte, who led Lukaku to a Serie A title with Inter last season, suggested Tuchel has not figured out the best approach for the player yet, but now the German has responded.
"He [Conte] was obviously not on the telly after the Tottenham game," Tuchel said during his Pres Conference.
"Of course, if you watch this game against Juventus, he is right on that point and he's obviously in the TV studio to analyse this one game - so he's right, no discussion about it.
"But it's not a general thing. If you watch the other games he's maybe not right. I don't feel offended. I even saw [him on TV] while I was showering before the match in the hotel."
"Juventus made [Lukaku] isolated," the former PSG boss added. "It felt like seven players around him all the time in the box. They did it good and they did it in their style. We have to accept it.
"It's not a general problem. We need to look at the games very individually. Any striker in the world would be isolated if we play so poorly in transition, like we did against Man City."
Mason Mount who was ruled out of the defeats to City and Juventus through injury, has proved costly, having already proven his ability for both club and country as an attacking midfielder.
Having suffered back-to-back defeats for his tenure at Stamford Bridge, Tuchel will be keen to get back to winning ways against Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
