Jeez a few poor pre season games and people want the kid hung.

Not a striker and formation does not suit him, but if good enough he will find his way in/force Conte to change formation, he's got a lot of potential and showed that for England u21s but does need to step up in a blue shirt

Previous post is right about the marketing team doing him no favours with all the pressure/exposure

He's got potential but he'll need to become a decent goalscorer. He's def not cut for a box to box role, at least not one where you can rely on him defensively. He's going to have to model his game around Yaya Toure.

Obv can't expect him to become that good but he'll have to get somewhat close to Toure if he expects to carve out a role at Chelsea.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek impressing as a striker for Antonio Conte's Chelsea

Antonio Conte stepped up his experiment of using Ruben Loftus-Cheek in a forward role in Chelsea's 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. Adam Bate was there to see it for Sky Sports and believes that the move shows some promise…

We honestly can't be going forward with him as a CF and not buying someone/anyone in the next few days.

Quite a bit of talk about Gyan coming back to England. I seriously wouldn't be against getting him to fill in for this season.

Not sure Conte really fancies him, tbh. Poor work rate and nonchalant attitude.

If he considers him a striker, when will he ever get a look in with Costa and Bats here? Crowded in midfield as well now that Oscar is considered a CM essentially. Not looking good for him is it?

Loftus-Cheek and Chalobah both with a goal & assist for England U-21 today against Norway.

Edit: Lew Baker with a goal, too.

We should use Chalobah and Loftus this year but probably Mikel will get chance sooner :( it would be a perfect chance because we don't have much depth in 3 men midfield ;)
