Ruben Loftus-Cheek

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I must say some fans are so weird. Back then when RLC did nothing yet, everyone hyped him in the sky, now that he is actualy having very good season, majority says he aint good enough for us and we need to buy buy buy new midfielders.

Hell, so many hypocrites, crying after De Bruyne and others we sold, blaming Mou and board for this, but if given chance now to  develop RLC into very good player, most of those same fans would just buy top midfielder and loan RLC out again.

Funny world isnt it.

If RLC has whole season as good as past couple months, I think he deserves a chance in first team before we buy more midfielders, even if it hinders our success next season, its long term project, we could have english player in first 11 for maybe next 10 years. By no meaning he is good enough already, but he should be given playtime in this team to further develop under Conte instead of splashing big money on top midfielders who will limit his chances.

My view is that he's never been given enough playtime, nor in the right position to gradually gain confidence and make an impact at 1st team level for Chelsea. It's often the same with young Chelsea players, but Ruben hasn't been put into the mix in the right way yet, nor consistently played to adapt in centre midfield.

Still think he’ll go on loan again next year. If he continues playing at Palace and developes then again next year at some other club it would be a good move, he’s better playing every week than being an impact sub and playing cup games here because he’s not starting a game ahead of Cesc, Kanté or Bakayoko when they are even playing to 70% of their abilities. As of talk of Arturo Vidal, not a chance in hell thats happening, 50m for a 30+ y/o? Not a chance.

The hype is strong with this one.

I have no idea what Hodgson is thinking playing him on the right side of a 4-4-2. Almost as bad as Antonio playing him in the front three.

Meanwhile Fabian Delph is playing left wing-back.

And that hides a lot of Delph's weaknesses, but also showcases the stronger areas of his game. Exactly the opposite of Ruben being played in the front three.

[communicate 2,703]

It is important to keep the hypelow . If you hear what the English pundits keep saying about young English talent, you will start  thinking that Delle Ali is better than Messi or Rlc is better than Fabregas.

Imo looks like Rlc is going to be ready for us next season but not to start every week. He need to be part of the rotation and prove to Conte that he should be starting.

Keep the hype low, let the kid grow - he'll be in our first XI before you know!

I'd argue playing Ruben more advanced does exactly that at this point.

Delph is a walking weakness himself. Players should be able to rotate into more than one position. How much are they being paid again? Azpi doesn't even play his natural position. Victor Moses. etc. 

He should at least be able to do a job up top. Also, I doubt many teams would revolve their teams around RLC just so he could play in his position.

Pep likes his fullbacks to go into centre midfield during general play, so in that Delph at fullback works well, infact similar to Moses as wingback as Conte likes them to go forward and offer width but they aren't totally responsible to end product, which is Moses weakness.

[Special Juan 27,101]

The way he is going with injuries he will be lucky to string ten games a season together.

[Leif 6,006]

It's been said for many seasons that he lacks adequate fitness, specifically stamina. After around 65 minutes in the first game, he was basically done, though not useless. It was clear though that starting him just a couple days later would be lunacy - nobody thought it would happen - yet it did, and of course he ended up injured. That's just bad management, not understanding a player. Then again, it's up to RLC to address this too.

[The Skipper 20,593]

He does have stamina problems but that stems from him not playing lots of pro games. Hence why the Palace loan is important. 

I feel like he’s quite injury prone though. He’s had a few injury problems at Palace as well.

Fascinating to hear Southgate say Loftus-Cheek has a struggle playing 90 minutes even when fit. Always considered this a key factor in being contracted as a professional footballer
 

@theskipper RLC has had stamina problems since he was 15/16
