What a lot of bitching and complaining about a hard fought win. There were 14 hero's out there none of them had a bad game not even RLC who was brilliant.

You lost me at RLC was brilliant. No assist or goal yet again for our brilliant world class player. Hudson Odoi taken off today for having a poor attitude to hard work. Lotus might want to look at that before he goes back. If he plays like he does for us I see a very short Chelsea career for him.

TTIN, methinks you have some kind of fetish for RLC

The TV commentators said man of the match was between RLC and Lookman but they gave it to Lookman because of the goal. To say he is lazy is ludicrous he was all over the pitch a real action man. If he could start banging in the goals as well that would be brilliant.

Think RLC has taken over from Parker as a punchbag,looks a decent enough player to me just a bit short from what I’m sure he’s capable of and hopefully we’ll see.

I bet RLC wishes he was a Lotus, as he would sprint away from all defenses.

If you know football you would realise how important RLC is to this team, and yesterday he worked so hard. He is exceptionally talented.

@Chris I don’t think anyone here considers RLC a world class player. He was good last night though, made stuff happen for an otherwise rather flat team (except for Lookman). If he were a world class player, Chelsea would not have loaned him out to us. He ain’t a goal scorer either from what we see and what his career stats show (bare one prolific season with Chelsea a few years ago). Now that being said, I do not understand the reference to Hudson Odoi and poor attitude; every game I have seen from RLC the one thing he has consistently done is work hard and run and pressure for as long as he has been on the pitch. Kudos to him for that, being a loanee. That is why Parker keeps him on the pitch for most games, I assume, his work-rate and ability to protect the ball and give us time to regroup. The constant criticism of the guy on this board is ludicrous to me. He ain’t no Ronaldinho and if someone expected magic from him, well, great, but the expectations were set well too high then. In any case, great win last night. Come on Fulham.

RLC demeanour gives the impression he is uninterested this works against him especially at a club like Chelsea. He is gaining confidence now with us and we are starting to see a very decent player. He will be key for us until the end of the season.

Any three points won in this league is a well won 3 points, do you realise how difficult it is to win football matches at PL level? Parker is doing well, we need to keep the front 12/13 players fit and we have a chance of survival, if we have to go to Hector, Ream we have no chance.

It was not me that called him world class, I was referencing Parker, He said it. You can look at this another way. Compare him to people who play or have played in the same position as RLC. We play with one forward so goals ideally come from all over but RLC is the second most advanced player for us. In Man Utd team that is Bruno or West Ham it is the guy who was sent off against us. Steven Gerard and Lampard in the past. We should be getting goals from all players in front of the defence. Centre Forward the most. Thankfully Newcastle have lost their main man. Then there should be contributions from all others but especially RLC. It really not is good enough to say he is not a goal scorer. Oh for the days of Clarke and Leggett and Haynes. Parker,just so you have a reference, he was world class. Saha Boa Haylee, all in the same team and goalscorers. Tom Carney n Danny Murphy, ran the show and scored goals.Assists and goals all around but not for Loftus

The only thing lacking with RLC is a little bit of confidence in front of goal his overall playing in keeping the the ball and bringing other players into the game is very good he is strong on the ball and can go past people with great skill I have seen him improve as the season has gone on and he gives a good balance to the team over the coming months he will be a key player for us let’s get behind him and the team and I really think we will stay in the premier for many years to come

Now the pressure starts to build on Newcastle and possibly Brighton. Who will feel us breathing down their necks. all we can do is concentrate on our results
I’m more than happy we’ve given ourselves some sort of chance to stay up.
Give RLC a break, he has played as well as anyone over the past few games.

Hadn’t read Parker’s comments, mea culpa, Chris. And fair points, yet, looking at our bench, I think I’d go with RLC in most games myself. If indeed he keeps improving, he might become valuable towards the end of the season with his goals!

RLC was out or a long time with an injury so he came to us to build up his physical, mental and match fitness and he getting there, if he scores or creates a number of goals he will gain confidence and show what a good player he really is.
