Overall imo an average player not good enough for CFC. He is very good at what he does, ok at a few other things and then down right dreadful at the rest. You need to be able to do more than pass pass pass here. Need someone more dynamic, yes he has been ok last few weeks but still not good enough, however in this team he does what Sarri wants the best......so we are somewhat stuck with him.

Nonsense.

He has been better than most of our first team this season, and yet receives only hate and no appreciation!

What exactly is he dreadful at?

He receives abuse from online and at matches!

Again Jorginho is a good player - the way he has been scapegoated this season has been frankly embarrassing.

People are hyperbolic and say "all he does is pass sideways"; when frankly thats true at all. For a first season in the premier league, he has been pretty good

I saw someone say Jorignho is among the best at through balls in the prem this season... but the guy has 0 assists?

How has he got NO assists... I could almost guarantee that most people on here would get one by accident playing every game like he does

Well I think the stat is he has completed the most through balls in the prem. And yeah its not that unheard of for the holding midfielder to not register an assist.

To be fair to him its been mostly poor finishing which has prevented him registering an assist. I can think of at least three opportunities he created today which should have finished with a goal.

He has the best attacking player in the league in Hazard in front of him and has played over 50 games without registering an assist... but its everyone elses fault?

Look, Jorginho is alright but that is all. If his name was Dave Smith he'd have been shipped out on loan in January

Classic argument: "if his name was johnny butface you wouldnt think he was any good". Like his name has anything to do with it

And yeah Hazard was given two golden opportunities to score today by Jorginho, but screwed it up!

But seriously come back to me with an argument which is not ridiculous... As these points are just silly.

What as ridiculous as speed 4 stars? What compared to Giroud? And tackling 5 stars

posted on 5/5/19

One of them players where he tries to please everybody but effectively pleases nobody. Yeah ok he can retain possession and can shift the ball on, that's fine, but how much influence does he have on a game?

If I was to look at Chelsea, taking Hazard out of the equation for obvious reasons, would I say Jorginho is the next player to have any sort of influence on a game? No.

Good player to have when winning, frustrating player to have when not winning. Games can become very passive with players like him in it sometimes.

I found the pace thing amusing myself.

His tackling stats are actually very good; very similar to Fernandinho...

Well seeing as he is our most successful manager - I thought his opinion might be interesting

That however doesn't equate to how well he can tackle, that's his interceptions. Now go watch a match and his actually tackling ability I would say is on par with scholes.

Wasn't my question - since we are talking about football today I was wondering how his current job is going.

Would he get into Liverpool or Man City's midfield? No.

I can see what you are saying; creatively he can improve, but he is certainly not as useless as some are making out.

I would say he is pretty damn influential considering he is targeted by managers tactically. He is hardly Kovacic, he is one of the most important players in the team right now!
