What will it take for Maurizio Sarri to start putting his full trust in Ruben Loftus-Cheek? The 23-year-old was on fire again for Chelsea on Thursday night as they drew 1-1 against Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final. The England international was so assured and confident of his own ability whenever he had the ball and that was so easy to tell when you watched him play. It is easy to see why so many Chelsea fans on Twitter were blown away by the midfielder’s display in Germany on Thursday, and it is just a shame that Sarri doesn’t see that in him as much. Chelsea have produced some very good young English players in the last decade or so but they just aren’t getting anywhere near enough chances to shine in the senior squad. Loftus-Cheek has been in the first team this season but has somehow only started five matches in the Premier League. It is one of the many reasons why a lot of Blues fans want Sarri to be sacked.

RLC has been the best player on the pitch, but by all means please bring on Kovacic. Total incompetence! #SarriOut
