Ruben Loftus-Cheek

[LondonsFinest 692]

Did more in 10 minutes than Oscar in 2 straigt matches. Keep him on the bench. 

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

Why didn't he start?
Yes, he's lazy off the ball, but surely it was out there for everyone to see how much better than Oscar he is.

Should have won it late on, but credit for his short cameo.

At 19 Terry was cleaning toilets, while Ruben is driving a ferrari.

Explains it all.

Having board who is cluessly playing Mikel ahead does no wonders either.

As Cesc and Ruben pivot would get destroyed defensively.

As limited as Mikel is he does offer decent stability in that regard and let's be honest our defense need all the protection they can get right now.

Having said that Rubens cameo should warrant him more time now, that what you have to do as a young player, make the most of what ever minutes you get.

Needs a loan I think. Maybe one to the Bundesliga or something where he'll start, not the Championship.

No team in the world would pay his salary

The funny thing is,..the current version of Oscar seems to seems to be lazy off the ball as well. The one thing fans could appreciate about Oscar's game, was his work rate off the ball. 

Now that he doesn't even do this, its only common sense bringing RLC on instead.

Don't know about your telly, but on mine Fabregas and Mikel pivot gets destroyed week in and out.

People keep saying there is some stability. but we keep conceding twice per match, home or away. It doesn't take a PSG either.

The defense is completely exposed facing attackers one-on-ones all the time, which even makes Azpi look like a poor defender - something he is not.

RLC needs minutes... pick anyone in midfield and replace him. It doesn't matter anymore.

Unless Hiddink has been told to give some players som minutes to raise their value/get some offers in... it happens.

He has said it himself he is adjusting physicly to his body weight and the speed of BPL. I doubt, he is being that lazy on purpose. It's just that he saves up stamina. Hence why he should be put next to Mikel and Cesc, but hey, Matic and Oscar do much more. Oh...

[It's too big 625]

That's the thing, everybody's body is different and no one person will have the same stamina. I notice with very tall players they don't particularly have fantastic stamina so maybe RLC can only do so much until his body disallows him to increase his stamina to very high levels. Not every player will have willian or kante esque stamina, I mean compare willians stamina to other players of similar stature's engines and there will be a vast contrast between the two players.

Thing is, yes, he is very lazy, but Mourinho's brainwashed most of our fanbase, wanting workhorses. I'm not saying he should up his game, but people want him to eat the grass off, which his body obviously can't handle. He deserves to be an automatic starter until the end of the season. Which he won't

I don't see any lazy players in the Leicester team - that's why they are top of the table. 

Playing a lazy player sets a shitty standard for the rest of the team. 

I'm glad you aren't in charge of making these decisions ???

Any pivot gets destroyed. Almost like the formation is no good... weird. Maybe someone will realise in 5 years

Meanwhile we let Colkett play with boys when he would start for a lot of top sides
