Yes, but we are very forgiving towards Lukaku because he replaced Icardi in our hearts. Although he still does not score world-class tap-ins.
Maybe if he knew how to move like a proper striker and evade defenders we would have had a couple more chances.
I vividly remember Candreva and Brozovic having the chance to give him a pass into space but he was instead moving the wrong way. Again. And we were left with a silly low value attempt instead.
You cannot spend 80m on a striker that cannot be noisy against top teams and not have anything to say about it.
Lautaro on the other hand is a project that has gone better than expected. That doesn't mean we need to add pressure to him. Especially when your marquee signing is free of justified criticism.
