Mount won't be taking his place anytime before next season.

Agree but still think he's been better than Kova this season and would still prefer him.

If we're ranking our midfielders this season

Jorginho 6/10
Kante 7/10
Kova 4/10
Barkley 5/10
RLC 8/10

Hard to judge as he’s in and out the team, and inconsistent. It’s obvious we are not working with kovacic in midfield despite being a tidy player, so we need a midfielder who adds goals, Barkley can do that but is still too inconsistent to guarantee it

He scored a few tap ins and the hype went over the top. He was back to England answer again but in truth he’s not a top 4/6 team player.

No I am not disappointed.We need not to overcriticise our players when they get injuries and then don't get regular time in the team and then expect them to the best of their ability quite abruptly.

Yeah Kash I bet if he had signed for Liverpool, you would have said that Liverpool were the worthy club to get him & if Alex Oxlade Chamberlain would have moved to Chelsea,you would have been here on Chelsea 606 board criticising Alex Oxlade Chamberlain.

He’s a squad player at best. He still has decent potential with his skillset but he lacks in basics, it’s a bit weird. Poor ball control, poor short passing, just a bit clumsy. Panics when pressed. RLC has escalated him in a short amount of time.

Bit harsh on Kovavic and extremely generous to RLC.

I’d go

Jorgino 7/10
Kante 8/10
Kova 5/10
Barkley 5/19
Rlc 6/10

Think Barkley is trash tbh, offers nothing.

Most his shots end up in row Z.
Not a great passer of the ball, he's far too safe as well. Watched him against Southampton, he just kept doing the sideways nonsense and just looks for the safe option.

Defensively he's not upto it either.

Some of the Spurs fans on here wanted him. I always thought he was overrated. That spell of good form didn't last very long did it? Unfortunately that's been his story since Everton. Lack of any consistency.

What for DD? He is tidy but does nothing of note to affect games. Think he’s got what 2 assists?

He helps us control games and is press resistance which is a hugely underrated skill at this level, it's lack of those players which has led to us being so crap against elite teams near enough the entire decade.

Also his big game record, bar Spurs he's been excellent in them, remember how his introduction on his debut vs Arsenal calmed things down?

In answer to your original question - yes!

You may remember I questioned why we were after him the window before we signed him.

I really don't get what he offers other than as a squad player but we have better kids who could fulfil that.

Can’t agree with any of that tbh. Arsenal game he was great but since then I’ve been very underwhelmed. And against elite teams I would wager we’ve got the best record in this country against the big teams the last decade.

What has Jorginho done to warrant a rating of 7/10 apart from his BS sideways passing?

Played a big part (atleast at the beginning) of changing us from a crap team who stumbled into 5th last year to a team challenging for top 4 without a striker. I think anyways

Barkley looks our least competent of the midfielders. I was against his signing from the start.

Naah,Barkley can be given 6.2 marks out of 10 for this season.I like him!

One glaring miss and Its oh so telling and that Morata doesn't get a mention for his efforts. He's dammed when he does and dammed when he doesn't . Thats the kind of consistency I expect from the would be punditos here...
