So what now for the underrated Jorginho?

Hmmm

Depends so much on the next manager

I do think Sarri is just part of a wave of managers trying to play this similar style and Jorginho could be a useful cog for a manager up to date on tactics

In a midfield two I’d be more excited for Kovacic than Jorginho next to Kante

I would be more than happy for him to play further up the field. His close control and quick passing I think could be very useful there.

I was not enjoying him as he was always 40 yards away from the goal, and in general done nothing more imo than start the attacks from the half way line which I felt was a waste of a midfield player - so maybe it was more of the way Sarri set him up and the instructions that he was given, as I am pretty certain I could not tell you one time I saw him in the 18 yard box in open play! And when one of our biggest issues was attacking with numbers.......

he looked better towards the end of the season

got to be worth seeing if he gets better after having on season in the prem

don't worry summer we will never sing that still

The problem with Jorg Kova & Kante is still huge...

But that is down to the mixture, not each individual. It is also amplified by the lack of goals from our strikers, Willian, Pedro and our CBs. I think a midfield of RLC will be Kante and Jorginho was starting to look quite tasty, but it will never be enough without more goals from our strikers and other attackers. Even our CBs don't score enough.

exactly...that's my point, these three in the same side don't bring enough, you can include Barkley in that scenario too...Rubes started scoring a bit more before getting injured, but hardly prolific

Then as you say we compound the issue with the mostly inneffective Higuain/Bats/Giroud & it's a real problem.

Good post

I would like to see Baka get one more season at the club

No need to apologize for that. Based off his AC form combined with who the new manager is he could be very useful, particularly as a squad option.

He's also just come out and said he's happy to come back to the club after a solid year of nothing but loving Serie A/wanting to stay there. Beggars can't be choosers with the transfer ban, if he's happy to stay we've got no reason to ship him out.
