Ruben Loftus-Cheek

[supporter 3,088]

He will play 90 minutes along with a few other youth players against Walsall, for sure.

Hi friend!

I hope so. I would love to see young players against Walsall, but with a competitive team, which is very likely because players like Oscar, Ramires, Remy, Falcao, Begovic or John Terry (c) may be in our starting eleven with our young players presenting a starting eleven

quite competitive.

But with Ruben Loftus-Cheek as our main midfielder assuming Matic's role with Ramires close to him to help us in the construction of play and Oscar as N.10 to move the team.

In attack I'd bet on Remy - Kenedy - Falcao.

And I would use defending Baba - John Terry (c) - Zouma - Ivanovic (Azpi needs rest, and is a very young Aina option to Jose).

But most of all, Ruben Loftus-Cheek must start against Walsall and Newcastle. This will be his big week.

Regards.

Just such a great player,but I hate that Mou refuses to give him more minutes.Why did he not play him the whole match?

We did not need Matic for this match,so why risk a potential Matic injury?RLC looked so great and after we replaced both RLC and Kenedy,we did´t look that great anymore

Look at Zouma last season, he didn't have much minutes at this time and was getting eased into his role at the club tactically and mentally and this season has played every game before tonight.

Patience, his time will come if he carrys on like this.

I pray you are right

Lad deserves to start

We don't need to over play him, if he has similar minutes to Zouma last season and makes similar strides in development then that will be a roaring success on the RLC score.

He probably won't start much this season, but we need to see the bigger picture.

Zouma had the luck that Cahill and Terry started to look weird.Their partnership was not that good anymore,so Mou decided to give him a chance.Obviously,he took that chance brilliantly,but to be honest,I do not see that luck happening to RLC.

Mou only gives him chances against the very weak teams and even if he plays well,Mou brings Mikel or Ramires on from the bench when we play against PL teams.That is kinda sad because he did not play bad this season.Even in pre season,he was the one who played good,even though he just played one match if I remember correctely.

We all know that Mou does not bench the players he loves.Cesc will not be benched because we rely on his creativity.Matic plays the no.6 role and he is of course better that RLC in that position.Oscar is a player that will not be benched for RLC because Mou loves him and his attitude.

There is no room for RLC right now.I do not know how many good performances RLC has to give to be in the starting line up in the PL in a competitive match.Yes,he played last year,but that were matches which were unimportant.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek's progress is already impossible to stop. I do not know if he could be our starting eleven next week, but I'm sure he will have a similar process like Zouma. At the end of the season Ruben Loftus-Cheek can be fully consolidated in our starting eleven if he continues this progression.

Loftus-Cheek is not going to be abandoned in the road. Jose is going step by step with him carefully but I think Jose is aware that he can create one of the best midfielders in the next decade.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is our present and our future. RLC is the guy.

That pass was Fabregas esque. Very good performance tonight, why Jose felt the need to bring him off early bewilders me. Just give him the 90 on one of his rare starts.

[LAM09 7,043]

Another bright display from him.

[The Skipper 20,609]

So you're a fan now?

[Jase 43,479]

Another excellent game from him and that pass to set up Kenedy for his goal was brilliant.

On the other hand, I wonder when will he start a game again. No 'easy' matches in the coming weeks.

When they are good enough no need to save them for easy matches

You can't look at both cases the same way, every case is different. Every player is different, one progresses faster while others go slower.

RLC is playing wonderful football and he has momentum, should be given more minutes.
