To keep that match was stupid. I am sure there would have been a clause of playing first teamers otherwise no manager in their right mind would have played any one The fuck up was playing in America on a dodgy pitch, a friendly had to happen somewhere though. We had a two and a half week break between the last PL game and the EL final, we needed a match in between to retain sharpness and it helped us in Baku as we were much more sharper than Arsenal especially as the match wore on.

Clockwork 1,794 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Unfortunately i see RLC career heading toward the Daniel Sturridge path, a player with vast potential but never to fully realize it due to injuries. I hope i am wrong. Vybz Kartel, Fernando and manpe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I honestly think he won’t feature until April. Bloke isn’t even sprinting yet, let alone being match fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t the players all contracted to feature? I blame this on Buck. He arranged it. Vybz Kartel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t had a new one but it is not flying along as much as we would want and it is not for the want of trying by everybody, including Ruben himself. There is nothing worse than being injured but at the moment we are no closer to him being fit.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He arranged it. If you're gonna blame someone, it should be on Roman. As mentioned in the link above, it's him and the New England Revolution owner who decided to organize the match "to raise the profile of our Say No To Antisemitism campaign and combat all forms of discrimination".

Yeboii 1,844 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 If there is anyone I am confident in coming back strong from injury, its RLC. This season is a write-off for him anyway. Vybz Kartel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I know people are saying we should be patient with our expectations with Ruben but I think he will come back strong and close to 3/4 of his form last season. One of the biggest strengths Ruben always had was his maturity in the final 3rd, he doesn't over dribble, shoot in ridiculous angles like what we are seeing with CHO, Ruben also passes the ball well so those strengths alone will compensate for his lack of match sharpness early on. His biggest problem coming up the ranks was stamina and he had improved massively on that aspect so im hoping at the very least he would be a good impact sub when he comes back. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's this based on? CHO is already obviously struggling mentally post injury, and his was only a small grade tear. Ruben's was a full tear. He's going to be scared shitless for months putting pressure on that foot in game. Especially when changing direction. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing, and intelligence in the final 3rd will help us more. His passing has always been one of his biggest attribues were CHO relies on pace, Ruben does not. His game in the final 3rd is polished enough to not decline imo. CHO on the other hand, he was a guy who relied on his pace and the other aspects of his game hadn't developed yet before he got the injury, even last season his decision making was still in need of some work. Ruben on the other hand it was his stamina that needed some work which he worked hard on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of his stand out attributes was his acceleration and power to dribble past opposition in the midfield. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt just a PnP player he is actually a very intelligent footballer with a good passing range. Those attributes will make him more playable whilst he obviously gets his fitness back. CHO is struggling because hsi other attributes werent developed fully. Right now he cant even pass and his decision making has been poor, Ruben wont have to go through that imo since he is ahead in his all round football development. CHO is over trying, Rubes wont be doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I think anything we get out of RLC this season will be a bonus to be honest. At the moment CHO looks shot. I do think he'll get back to what we are expecting him to become but it will take some time. I think both will massively benefit from a full pre season next summer and that is when we should start seeing the best of both. It's therefore imperative that this season is used to get them to that position starting the next season fully fit and confident. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Fourth round FA Cup game in late January is likely going to be his first match this season. And with two, three new signings we are going to be completely different team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
