I maybe on my own on this but considering we've had problems at the ST position for a while and although Hazard at ST has been working, he clearly likes it better out wide, i'd love to see Sarri give Ruben a go at the ST position. Personally he's our 2nd best attacking player behind Hazard, but since Sarri prefers Kova in the Midfield because of his work rate and his ability to read the game better, why not? . He has all the attributes to be a world beater there.
His physicality and the way he uses his body to go past players is incredible, his eye for goal has been much better this season and his link up play (especially with Hazard) is brilliant. He does have a tendency to "over do it" when he goes on those mazy runs, something Sarri doesn't like, so at least if he done such a thing at ST it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as doing it in midfield.
We need another attacking player in this team that can pull defenders out like Hazard and Ruben is the only one that's been capable of doing it. It's not like we'd be losing goals replacing him for Willian, Hazard, Ruben and Pedro as our front three and bring Giroud of the bench if needed. Personally i think this would work wonders and would allow Hazard to flourish even more. What do you think?

I agree. I think that RLC needs to be tried further forward more often, and in regards to Hazard, I think he is best when he is coming from a wide or deeper position.

I agree - I've been posting for a while that we should try RLC in the false 9 position - it would also overcome his lack of defensive ability which will stop him becoming a Worldy in midfield.
