Not that we are missing him at all but what has happened to him off the radar completly.

Unfortuately yet another sicknote that we seem to have an endless supply of, if his contract is up in the summer then let's get rid.

He hasn't shown he does enough to start, that's the fact.

He shows the odd moment of brilliance but is not anywhere near consistent. Also seems to be injured too much.

I honestly believe that some fans only support him because he's from the academy. If he'd been a signing, everybody would accept that he isn't consistent enough to deserve a place.

Get him out on loan

He was excellent when he came in today.

Make no mistake, the kid can play but he/the club need to sort out his fitness issues. He needs to be available and playing regularly.

He very nearly, single handedly, got us a point today with his creativity and travel with the ball.

I often criticise him but fair play, was a bright spark today.

I was right behind his shot from distance that the keeper saved and it was going right in the corner.

For once, his all round play was decent.

Davies also did well when he came on.

Wouldn't be shocked if they both start at Burnley, particularly as it seems Etete could be out for that one.

He’s a centre midfielder with a tough ball winner behind him in my opinion.

Better from deep and creating things, and even against Liverpool last year where everyone was playing deep he managed to win the ball and make things happen.

Up to him if he has the drive to achieve the fitness levels required though.

He is a conundrum, that's for sure !!!

For my two penneth, he is a second striker, he looks lost and clueless outside the attacking third, but Jesus he come alive when honed in on goal

Outstanding when he came on today.

Rubin’s biggest problem is two things: 1) Consistency and 2) Growing.

The lad has grown massively in the last 12 months, no wonder the lad has been injured so much.
The way he has sprouted was a massive issue for him this season. Very easy to get injuries when growing that quickly.

On the flip side of things, has definitely put on some upper body muscle. Hopefully if he’s done with the growing now, he can get a full pre-season behind him and kick on.

We've been told he's growing for three years.

Well, yes. The lad is how old? 21? He’s gone massive over the last 12 months.

On the growing thing, he looks massive and ungainly, he also needs a special warm-up routine as he is 1950's Ford truck it takes him 15 mins until you can close the choke (you need to be over 40 to understand the reference)
