Who picks the team today?

Except for that fact that it's not just under Jose...I mentioned at lower academy level plays it safe and that's the level where youth players are supposed to express to the maximum with more freedom.

I'm pretty sure that Loftus-Cheek has excelled at the lower levels which is exactly why we've all been talking and raving about him the last couple of years and why he's now in the first team squad.

He needs to be given an actual chance otherwise he'll be off because he will excel at another PL club, quite possibly a top one as well.

Mceachren...

Definitely not good enough to say 'he's good enough because his hype suggests he is'

He's not another McEachran.

People need to rewatch the League Cup game earlier this season where him and Kenedy were actually given starts as both were really good that game and there was a really good understanding between the two with Loftus-Cheek feeding some lovely through balls up to Kenedy, with great interchange and passing on display.

Loftus-Cheek needs a run of games to build and develop his game because be certainly hasn't been getting that here up until now.

Mceachren also had some very good games for the first team.

It's silly to think he won't make it for sure. It's just as silly to say he certainly will (even if played)

Who's saying that though?

I'm saying that Loftus-Cheek has excelled at the lower levels. Nothing to with hype, I'm tallking about performance.

Admittedly his development has stalled a bit recently but he's not getting games so how is he expected to develop and improve ?

Was addressing this bit.

I do agree a bit.
Excelling at lower levels is a great start. But often see these players tail off. It's more of a minimum requirement

Well he gets in my team today because he deserves a chance and the others have been utter crap anyway.

Same set of losers playing only cesc for Ramires
