In a 2 man I think you are right he hasn't shown the work rate(he might this year) Either way a full year playing an important role for a sneaky good team in CP will do wonders for him I think. Yes, I'm happy he's on loan, hopefully he will get a good amount of games in his legs. Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 FYI, it looks like he had a good game. Really grew into it as it went on. !Hazard!, DYC. and Chelsea? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Would've been easier to incorporate him in next year if we had kept Matic. We wouldn't need to spend money on a Drinkwater. Then next year, if this guy really impresses at CP, he can come in and take 65min sub role, Cesc current role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,914 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 ^ Wow. Looks a completely different player when he's playing with confidence like he did there. Also pretty clear that he's a CM who's best at running with the ball from deep rather than almost a striker like Conte tried him as. Hopefully he develops nicely there and returns a much better (less lazy) player who's ready to slot into the first team. The Mak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Woah some crazy skills from Lofty there. Let's hope he can keep it up for the entirety of this season and comeback a much more refined player next year. akgw13 and !Hazard! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered why he was continued to be deployed as an AM when running from deep was one of his biggest traits...I remember that friendly against City, he was out-Yaya'ing Yaya with those types of runs... It's actually quite frustrating when I think about it. He could have been getting this experience well over a year ago. I hope his development has not been stunted because of the wish to fulfill homegrown rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Palace fans: Quote Loftus-Cheek - 7 For me, he was our best player - he was quick, powerful and on it. He linked up well with everyone, successfully took on the opposition and provided us with options. I have no clue why Chelsea have let him go on a season long loan, because he is quality and will be an England regular one day. Quote Loftus-Cheek: 7 (MOTM)- Best player in Red and Blue by far, looks more composed in possession than the rest, especially in the second half when playing CM. Quote Only Loftus-Cheek looked good today. The worst was Riedewald who looked so far off the pace, and Ward who was played out of position. But the worst was the manager who is trying too much too fast and without the personnel to do it. We're a counter-attacking team that needs two good wingers. akgw13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Why do these boys play so differently when with us? Just tactics or just become so much more nervous when playing for the Blues 11? Barring McEachran/Kakuta, haven't seen any of the academy products play to their best when slotted into the starting 11 in recent years.. Christensen is not an out and out academy product but I hope he will be the one to finally seize the opportunity he's going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akgw13 867 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 THRILLED with that first game, mouth watering potential and the RLC all chelsea fans hoped for and expected. Hopefully he continues and has a great year for CP. He will be an important player for us in the future if he keeps that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 14, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted August 14, 2017 Spurs played 20 yo Kyle Walker Peters yesterday and comfortably won the game. Everytime we play one kid, suddenly everyone starts questioning if we can win that game, including managers. The lack of faith and trust in our youth is big big problem. Rlc would never show such confident performance here if he stayed. Amblève., Beigl, kellzfresh and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,711 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 He looked quicker than ever. Very promising. I was always a fan. And like someone said, he did look a bit like Pogba out there... Johnnyeye and akgw13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ffs any other club he would be a deffo in the squad with the chance to actually break into the team , look at the squad we had on Saturday...tho Hazard,Bakayoko,Pedro to come back in, to think about going all season in league+champions league etc and be "competitive" is lets just say a joke and leave it there! He could easily got enough minutes this season here to improve and learn imho and if he progresses who knows(i heard Conte saying about the "board/staff think that if they think they are not good enough to play for Cfc they go out on loan), mmm correct in most players not correct in others, especially with the lack of backup/improvements to the much needed positions . Hindsight bustmyballs but look at our options going in the spurs game with another 2 missing! Yeah well done board again for letting Matic+co go so early in the window with no (fit)replacement Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well done board again for letting Matic+co go so early in the window with no (fit)replacement i agree with your views, the club fucked up by letting Matic and others go without getting proper replacements, i would have never sold Matic to the mancs regardless of the money involved, look at how well he´s started there, i hate the idea of us strenghtening rivals. I just take a look at how thin we were of options on the bench against Burnley, how can we expect to challenge with a bench like that? Ruben would have played for sure, now we are short of options against Spurs because of injuries and suspensions, why loan out and sell all those players if we´re not going to get replacements in time ?, baffling from the club really, i just cant understand this board.

quickpassnmove 924 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Only problem with CP loan is that CP are so weak. I think Ruben will get a ton of attention from opponents (pressure). He is so talented. Hope he returns to CFC first team and does break through. Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
