Ruben Loftus-Cheek

I will never be happier to be proved wrong than if i am in Ruben's case. The idea of him his great, it's just what's been put into practice i haven't been a fan off so far.

Based on what?

Doesn't make any sense.

When he's played for Chelsea he never imposed himself on a game even close to enough. He movement was decent when the team had the ball, but didn't do enough when he had it and was a complete liability off it.

His best performances for us came vs league one opposition in the cup's, which made me think he found his level, few more performances like Saturday would make me re-evaluate however.

yea and the reason that makes zero sense is that he's barely played and when asked to do so, was arguably out of his natural position.

I think that you're not even making judgment on the player; you're probably reacting to the talk/hype of other fans regarding RLC.

Give him time and just forget it.

RLC has been played as a #10 or winger for the majority of his time here. Palace will be the first time he'll finally get to play in his preferred role.

Watching his highlights from last game, he seemed to playing almost as a 10/inverted winger for the majority of the game. He seemed to drop deeper later in the game though. I didn't watch the full match so I could be mistaken. So I'm not sure if he'll get to play in "preferred role" all the time.

Tell me about it , this board bustmyballsfc ,(August 18th) the strategy they have shown with the transfers in/outs is verging on embarrassing , Champions of England ,again the club and board have failed to kick on and build on that 2bh i think Bakayoko + Morata will be upgrades but even last season our numbers were shy for decent backup and squad quality, now with extra champions league games and losing Ake-Terry-NLC-Matic- etc , made little sense loaning out Ruben+/ or Baker when numbers so low and squad and manager seem to be in disarray in that aspect grrrr board grrrr

He will start most of the games as AMC ... he moved to central midfield for last 30minutes of the game 😊

Needs to work on his stamina and work rate, Excellent when in possession but average off it.

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

solid game from him and yet again his teammates let him down, that Benteke miss from Ruben´s pass was atrocious, in the end it was costly for Palace, if things dont start changing for Palace soon they will be fighting relegation come the end of the season. Ruben deserves much more than this shit Palace team

this is the time to do it .. its on thing playing all the youth games where the speed is much slower i feel this loan will be good for him as he will get the match stamina from playing week in and week out - however Crystal Palace is woeful hoofball all game and bypass their midfield which a part from Ruben is subpar. The only real dangerous attacks they had came from him thats saying something

2nd game running that Ruben is the best player for them on the pitch, but his shit teammates keep wasting chance after chance, what a waste, when Palace was fighting relegation last season, Zaha and Benteke looked like world beaters, but now they are a joke.

He's got all the physical tools and ability on the ball needed to be a world class player. It's still apparent where his weaknesses are, though. Noticed this throughout the Liverpool game. His off the ball work is lazy. Same as it was here and why I think Conte let him go on loan. You often see him just standing around and watching rather than getting after players.

I think it's just part of his personality that I don't know will change. He's a laid back, nonchalant guy.

i agree with you, you can bet that if he works more on his off the ball game he will be an immense player
