We are playing 4231 with Pulisic as AM and Chris RB.

Don't understand Havertz on left side.

We will wear the badge!

I remember we had more possession in all these games. As far as I know, he got MOTM against Leeds. But even if what you are saying is true did we concede any goals because of him? Brighton set pieces both goals, go watch highlights from Leeds and WH games you will not find Jorginho responsibility in any goals expect that back pass for Mendy but again you are speaking about off the ball and that goal is 99% on Mendy. So where is the damage? Also it would suit him more to play 433 than this system. Only Rudiger, Mendy and Azpi played more minutes this season and last season if you count only TT games I am sure he is in top3. What Lampard did tells more about him than Jorginho as proven later. He wanted to sell Rudiger as well - now best CB. Sarri definitely did not do that because of Jorginho but because of other players who did not know how to play Sarriball. 4 named Italian players vs Silva, Rudiger, Kovacic and Kante. Dont see much difference in quality. If you look for what TT said about Jorginho you will find only praise. In fact, he tried to get him in PSG, just like Pep did in City.

If we are cherry picking I can help you. Liverpool last season and West Ham this season. Not counting teams in relegation battle and set pieces he has 2g (two mentioned games) and 1 assist (Arsenal) from the beginning of last season in the league.

There are only 2 players from day one that was clear will be big players for Chelsea. James and Gallagher. All others would put in lower level. Can be in Chelsea squad but not for highest level as starter to fight for title. What my opinion is controversial? Would you say same thing if he was playing for City? Systems can protect players liabilities. I know this is not his strength but like I said we dont suffer because of that so it is irrelevant to even mention it. DM should never be isolated in runs in transition. It should be prevented by system. Italy barely conceding goals and won EURO and they play 433? Jorginho does not seems liability there, in fact he was voted for 3rd best player in universe. Also do I need to google that he had most tackles and interceptions and recoveries during CL last season and EURO? This is essential defensive stat for any player even defenders and yet you focus on some imaginary situation that happens once in 2 years? Even if we concede a couple of goals every season only because of this it would still not be a problem. Jorginho being bad defensively is big myth. And I suppose you want to replace him with Rice player who could not touch the ball in EURO final because of Jorginho...

I don't.

Do you remember us conceding any goals last couple of years because of Jorginho liabilities off the ball?

Been saying that for a long time. Can't believe how many people wanted him here.

If we win League Cup final next week Kante and Alonso would also win all trophies he had but in 4 seasons less.

Lukaku scored in 2 games in a row. Talk of him being dropped now is silly. I hope Kai starts behind him with Ziyech RW and Pulisic LW.

We never won Europa Conference League.

WOW showing that fraud Messi how it is done.

It is simply. We attack with less players.

Lyon, Spurs, Monaco...

Games will be better, more attacking, less calculations. Also over time and penalties more likely and we have our Kepa for that.

So he will miss just 3 games. It is great that he will be back against teams of level he only delivers: Luton, Burnley, Newcastle, Norwich, Brentford.

They gave 5 years contract to almost 28 years old Alonso. For CBs especially should not be an issue.

I don't think he's a great defender': Neil Warnock suggests Blues captain Cesar Azpilicueta is 'a bit LUCKY' to have had his trophy-laden career, after the Club World Cup sealed his clean sweep

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_FIFA_Club_World_Cup_(China) First tournament was planned in June/July 2021. 2 and a half weeks long and you play 5 games if you reach final. Cannot expect 24 teams across the globe to leave for such a long period during the season so it will go in the summer as planned. I'm thinking summer 2023 first edition with tournament going every 4 years. Basically instead of Confederation Cup.

Footy headlines are most reliable about kits.

We qualified with CL win even for next tournament.

Nothing to hope for, kit has already been designed. You have it in kit thread.
