It's his job to keep us in possession and moving the ball from deep.

It's Barkley's role to give the ball away to the opposition all the time - although I have quite worked out the reasoning behind that yet!

do you think he's doing a decent job of that Brum...?

Who Jorg or Barkley?

Barkley is doing an outstanding job!

It takes a great football mind you know

@OP

Go and watch the victory against City. It should make things clearer about Jorginho's role.

Looks a very ordinary player given the hype. Then again we signed Fred so I know how it feels.

A lot of Chelsea fans have the blinkers on atm when it comes to him, probably because they hyped him initially and are too stubborn to backtrack. He's a smart player but he's not the most talented and physically he lacks a lot (pace/power) especially in the PL. To me he looks like a better version of Harry Winks which doesn't say much

You see the way we controlled the whole game yesterday, Spurs didn't get a sniff and we were constantly in their final 3rd? Yeah Jorginho is the main reason. Had we a decent striker we don't lose at least and nobody would be batting an eyelid about Jorginho apart from probably praising him.

If you don't understand what Jorginho does you've either never played football at any level or just don't understand football and expect 40 yard diagonal through balls every time.

In fairness Garden it is a specialist and fairly unique role that he plays. I have extensive experience of playing and watching football since the early 70s and I find Sarriball a very new concept and have not come across a player like Jorgingo before. It takes some getting used to, but I do understand his role.

We would also not be getting the best out of Kanté*

Well that is debatable because Kante has perfected the role as DM for a team that does not want much possession and prefers to counter attack. I would jus say that Kante's original role no longer exists a CFC. Hence he is now learning a new role and improving each week imo.

I tell you what...to be fair, in defence of this ...he's currently our most likely scorer
