Ed001, saw your quick post on Loftus-Cheek on the Pool page. I know you thought of him as lazy at the start of the season, but do you still think so?
I've seen him play a bit this season and seems to me like he's doing his job for the team in defense as well as attack. Hodgson's said the same as well, that his off the ball work has improved a lot. I'd say the loan was a great success.
{Ed001's Note - he has improved but he is still too lazy for a Klopp team. He doesn't do a press type work ethic at all.}

Another year of successful loan move to Crystal Palace or another club would make him very ready for Chelsea. He will improve more. I don't support rushing him back next season. Good player.

1 good game and praised by everyone and questioned why not in chelsea side,
Has 5 average game sthat drift by him and nothing’s mentioned as to this is why he isn’t in chelsea side, think chalobah is head and shoulders above him personally,

He's been quite good in every game I've seen him play for Palace. Not as flashy as Zaha, but a very important player for them.
And that's my bad, Ed. I didn't know you meant "for a Klopp team". I thought you meant in general. For Klopp I agree. He won't do the rabid pressing necessary. But at Chelsea in a 3 man midfield? He'd fit in Just fine. He May may not be Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, but he's not 100m worse. Kante, RLC and a guy like Torreira would be a golden midfield 3.
{Ed001's Note - sorry yes I was specifically referring to him with regard to Liverpool. The question asked about whether I thought he would be a good buy for them.}

Yeah that was my bad, Ed, I didn't read the context of the question thoroughly.
{Ed001's Note - no worries it is easy to do.}
