Maybe, just maybe, there's a reason why Loftus-Cheek was never favored under pragmatic managers like Mourinho and Conte because he doesn't do near enough with the defensive work. If a player is gonna be allowed to not do any defensive work, then he better compensates it consistently going forward. Loftus-Cheek is certainly nowhere near that. Also IIRC, he was also mostly used on the flanks at Crystal Palace and then of course on the LW under Lampard last weekend, where his defensive issues would be slightly of a concern compared to playing in midfield.
