I’m reading a lot about our midfield both on here and social media about how dysfunctional our midfield is, particularly with midfield and Sarri not changing things.
The way I see it there is only one thing that could be done and that’s to return Kante to his natural position and move Jorg further up the pitch and ask him to dictate the center of the pitch. It’s not what will happen as it’s not Sarri’s footballing philosophy, it’s what I would do but until I get installed as manager we will just have to put up with it.
So, what can Sarri change? Very little apart from the personnel – but if we do that who do we bring in, the squad midfield wise, Kante and Jorg apart, contains, Kovacic, Barkley, Drinkwater and Ampadu can also play midfield as well as defence.
RLC and Van Ginkel are both injured and not available for the foreseeable future. We have been linked with a couple of players for the Jan transfer window but no apparent progress seems to have been made.
So my question is, what do you want Sarri to do?

Its pretty clear what Sarri wants, Jorginho to redistribute the ball to midfielders running into space. Not his fault we are staticl
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So...are you saying he's the only person in the side given that task....?
And if he is...why does he (Sarri) persevere with him when he's clearly not doing it
Why can't he run into space himself and pick the ball up then distribute it...I'm not meaning to be pedantic here...just asking obvious questions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because its not his fault if other players arent transitioning up the pitch correctly,
As for why Sarri plays him, because he agrees the fault isnt Jorginhos.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good lord...
Anyone else have an opinion on this....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yep!! He cant run, looks like a red card waiting to happen in a tackle, has no assists at all whereas Cesc would have at lest 10 by now had he been allowed to play. People say cesc cant run but hes equal to Jorginho, cesc is a little better defensively, noone fears Jorginho on the pitch but knew what cesc brings to the table. We sold the wrong player again. I crap myself just a little whenever we try to play the ball out from the back even when every player is under pressure its downright amature. Kepe is either perfect at passing or a liability nothing in between. We need a pacy forward like Vardy to keep the back line further back on their goal. I would love to see vardy getting passes from Luiz. poetry in motion.Get it done.

Fair enough, but similarly there are people that completely disregard his lack of influence in the final third due to his great work in the middle third.

I think there's 2 sides to this camp. Jorginhos rubbish and people don't understand what joringho is doing
I'm in the Jorginho is rubbish and it ain't bleeding working camp
And I feel like this is an all familiar situation at Chelsea with only one outcome
Bye Sarri
Bye Jorginho
