27 passes, 100% pass completion, 3 interceptions, 1 tackle, 1 block. Not sure what more people were expecting from a 19 year old on his début put in there to sit with Mikel.

Few people slagging him off already. Unbelievable.

And then they moan about lack of youth integration!

I believe that all these comments, both Jose, as Southgate, will help RLC to become a strongest mentally and correct any defect that he may have.

If Jose had not said what he said about RLC It is very likely that RLC had spent all summer thinking: "I am the best young player in England" and starting to believe a pop star, which would have been terrible for a boy young with so much future ahead.

But now Ruben will be extremely angry really looking forward to to start the U21 championship with England and the preseason with us to show Jose that he is the player who Jose had praised so much.

These mind games by Jose can make RLC be the next big thing of English football and our midfielder for the next decade. I hope and trust that RLC will seize this opportunity.

Regards.

Its a shame that not all "stars" react to criticism / benching the same way...

He was very good for the U21s tonight. Much better than the other centre midfielders

I only saw the last 25 minutes but during that time I certainly agree. Barring a couple of Harry Kane touches, all the moments of quality England produced while I watched, came from Ruben. I thought the performance was typical of him actually. Lot's of precise manipulation of the ball to get it out of his feet to create opportunities for runs, or angles for passes and always something effective on the end of it, albeit usually simple. It was an enjoyable display but, overall, it was still more of what I've been commenting on ever since Ruben came to our attention over 2 years ago.

Jose talked about Ruben not working hard enough when Chelsea didn't have the ball. That comment was not wrong, but nor did it cover everything RLC needs to hear. For me Ruben doesn't work hard enough when Ruben doesn't have the ball. Virtually all of his involvements that I saw were positive but there just weren't enough of them. Granted, he no longer seems to stroll around as I used to complain about him doing but he isn't busting a gut to get into possession either. There were spells during which he occupied the '10' area, with his back to goal, drifting from one position where his teammates didn't have an angle to get the ball to him, into another position where his teammates didn't have an angle to get the ball to him.

Does this add up to the lad needing to work harder, or work smarter? I suppose it's a bit of both, as usual, but I remain upbeat about Ruben. He has the talent, everything else can be learned. Two plus years ago I said Ruben needed a kick up the backside. Well, he may have had a few privately but hopefully the public one administered last week will provide the spark he needs.

P.S. The post match panel were raving about him.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is not the typical player who needs a loan to another team to become important in the first team. RLC can bring down the wall and get a place in our starting eleven.

I hope that RLC will be in our first team next season and this news are just rumors Typical of the summer.

Regards.

Hi friend!

I think Jose wants to make RLC the first player that he is able to draw from an academy and make him a world TOP PLAYER. I have never seen Jose talk about a guy of an academy as he does with RLC.

We have to be calm. RLC will be important for us.

Regards.
