IMO if Lukaku does not improve soon, he will find himself benched by Sanchez and Martinez who have looked good together so far.
I say highly unlikely, you think what's best for the team would be bigger than the best coach in the world's ego? You think Cunte will come out and say I was wrong about Lukaku after wanting him in my team for years or that Lukaku is not what he used to be?
For our own sake I hope Lukaku start to perform otherwise I think we'll be cursed by his disastrous presence for a very long time.
Don't want to disappoint you guys but Lukaku is at his peak now, top of his prime. He's also got quite fit again so there isn't much improvement on the physical aspect to come. He has two more "top" seasons and then he'll be declining. And fast.
This season will be the best we'll see of him.

Usually people with the strengths of Lukaku age well.
Which strengths are these exactly? Most of them are physical traits.
See Icardi's goal against Barca last year at the Meazza, when he received the ball with his back to goal and converted it into a shot and goal. That strength. Lukaku should easily show that but he is not which is worrying.
classic Icardi assist:
