I remember when Lukaku went through a period of being crap, can't remember if it was brown shoes or jug head, but the manager gave him a spell on the bench and it seemed to be like a reset button for the bad form. Richy needs/needed that, but without any competition for his place he's continued to stink the gaff out and we've suffered for it.
Meanwhile, the only player he might have had for competition at the start of the season, Kean, has scored a nice number of goals for PSG instead. Just utterly crazy decisions being made at the top.
