Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Firmly believe this now. I hope we don't sign Pogba. Not because isn't enormous quality, but because the similarities between him and Ruben are unbelievably big. He is jogging when not on the ball, but if needed he'll nearly crush the opposition with enormous physicality. Has strength going forward, has vision, tight passes, nothing too special, layed up and precise for the player intended. Ruben's got a great future ahead of him. With Cesc,Matic, him,Oscar(when on form) and Ramires we have a balanced midfield. Maybe add or swap Ramires for some other player who is a proper DM. Honestly, I'm so excited to see him play, because he just keeps things so tight. If continues developing like this and goes all the way, he could be a starter by next year, imo.

I think the biggest risk when tired is injury.

Therefore it makes sense to build players up slowly. The worst thing for him now would be to pick up an Injury - he's tired makes a lunging tackle - over extends his groin or some other muscle and boom - consigned to the sidelines.

I'm cool with this progress - I screamed for it - it's happening - I'm good

Level headed arguments. Totally agree with you on this.

I remember a few years ago when he was really a kid, someone posted here that his name sounds like a pornstar name. Funny we're watching the lad now playing flew first team. And the guy was right, when he plays it's porn [emoji9]

Looks like Jose's bollocking has done him good, if only he was around to give McEachran the same.

Oh please.. McEachran was never gonna make it in Chelsea.

He's simply just not good enough nor would he ever be. Stop trying to find the old Lampard in him. For Gods sake, he's playing in the Championship. He's shit.

Unfortunate that his at Chelsea, any other club bar city he would be playing way more minutes and playing ahead of Ramires and Mikel

Only with Mourinho can you have 2 amazing games and then get punished by falling off the bench.

He is not being punished lol

[lucio 5,395]

Maybe he will play in the championship

[didierforever 7,349]

what an example for a young man. its not your performance that get you starts, its your "age", your "name" and your "transfer fee".

[killer1257 3,282]

So sad that we waste so much potential

[didierforever 7,349]

if i was him, i would bang on the manager's door till he opens or it breaks, and then tell him to start starting me if he can actually start cesc every match or take my transfer request. i am sure there would be clubs lined up for his signature.

I wonder how I would feel If I were Ruben. Two man of the match displays when the team was under-performing. The result? Him being not even on the bench and a player who has done fuck all this season starting again.

And there still will be ignorant football fans and pundits who claim Mourinho drops those who don't perform. Mourinho is stubborn, and has his preferences.

[lionsden 4,689]

why didn't he even make the bench, that was rather disappointing and confusing given how well he's done recently.

My guess would be very excited and happy to be getting a role in the a team like Chelsea at the age of 19.

[killer1257 3,282]

I believe he'll get time against Newcastle and Porto as well.

He was not even on the bench yesterday.Let´s hope that he will get some minutes against Porto,but it is very unlikely because he could not make it even on the bench against the worst team in England right now.Depressing

You're such a fan. That's not how professional athletes think. Especially at a young age. He wants to play. He's looking at Cesc and Matic, looking at their form and thinks he can do better. Up to him to convince his manager.

Yeah, not entirely sure what happened. We can only hope.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Saving him for Porto, hopefully.

I really wanna see a Ramires-RLC pivot. I think it would work quite well since both can go forwards and both can lock down.
