Hazard esque

Its madness at this point. He's completely useless

Surely we're not messing this up now. Surely

Exactly, he can promise them he'll play in the Europa League for them, but they must allow him put pen to paper for Chelsea and complete the deal.

Mount can play on the wings and in midfield. He'll get more chances than we think Sent from my SM-A307FN using Tapatalk

Wow, its even better than I thought

Since the restart, Chelsea is 6-0-0 when Giroud starting including the 2 FA Cup matches, and 1-0-2 when Tammy starts.

Hopefully he lives up to his hype. I'm still doubting if he's as good as people say because his assists numbers are low but we'll see. I think he's worth a solid £60mil pounds but if we get him for the rumoured £80mil, who am I to complain. He'll still improve our attack immensely from what it is now regardless.

That's why we're trying to get another Defensive midfielder to stand in for Kante (due to his injury issues) so that they'll protect all these attacking players we're getting

Rather get that Arsenal keeper Martinez.

Exactly why we are linked with Rice. If we can get him, he's tall, a good tackler and has a good pass on him. All these excuses defending Jorginho will be thrown out of the window, because with Jorginho we cant play all the attacking players we want to get next season. That would leave the team unbalanced. A pure tackling DM would do wonders.

Like I said, Pep started tinkering and got Rodri which has ruined his system and cost him even competing for the league. Fernandinho making all those tackles and fouls was crucial in stopping counterattacks for his system. Sent from my SM-A307FN using Tapatalk

I praised Gilmour because he can do what Jorginho does but can also run, cover spaces, play far more forward passes instead of just keeping tempo. We're not playing slow pondering Italian football, this is a fast paced league, Jorginho doesn't just fit. Gilmour may not be Kante but like I always said, there's no point keeping a Jorginho when Gilmour is available. About Kantes passing, Kante's passing is better than Casemiros so that is not the most important part of a DM in this system. The important aspect is it allows us to play with two attacking midfielders which will make the whole team far more attacking as a whole. The attacking football we all want to see cannot happen if we have to protect the DM. Look at ManUtd, Pogba and Fernandes can only work together because Matic is sitting behind them protecting their advance. The system allows more attacking players and eventually more goals. The pressing that you spoke about that ManCity does to protect the defence, used to be done by us at the beginning of the season. But if you remember we usually collapsed in the second half. That was probably down to inexperience from Lampard but he's learning and can easily adjust it to do the pressing in small 10-15 mins spells. The bottom line is Jorginho as DM cannot protect ziyech, Havertz and other attacking players we are planning to add to our team. And it is better to emulate teams playing with a winning system instead of forcing the Jorginho regista system down our throats. Sent from my SM-A307FN using Tapatalk

I'm in support of selling Jorginho. And it's not just because of his limitations, it's purely because the successful teams in recent times (like Liverpool and Madrid) do not play with a Regista. Casemiro is a pure DM, while Fabinho is a physically dominant Defensive Midfielder who allows the team to push forward knowing they are protected at the back. Last two seasons ManCity played with Fernadinho as the DM, making tackles and interceptions which allowed them to be able to play very attacking midfielders like KDB and Silva in the No. 8 (box to box) roles. ManCity won two titles in a row before they tinkered with that and brought a controller in Rodri, removing Fernandinho from the base of Midfield (This has failed woefully). We are hoping to sign Kai Havertz to help us improve on the kind of creativity we saw against Norwich. How do we play Havertz, Ziyech and Pulisic together if the team has to protect Jorginho at the back? No body plays a regista that needs protection from fellow midfielders these days, so there is no reason why a team like us that wants to join the successful teams should be playing an outdated system.

I didn't think we needed him before. But looking at things, Lamps is looking to play a Defensive midfielder and two Box to box midfielders like Madrid have done so successfully with Casemiro - Kroos, modric and City last year with Fernadinho - KDB, Silva . That way we can Accommodate someone like Havertz easily in one of the midfield positions. Kante just cannot stay fit, so a Declan Rice with his physical presence and passing would be a perfect deputy.

I just doubt that Leicester will get 6 points from Sheffield, Tottenham and Manutd on their current form. Once we get 66 points, we qualify. I just hope we do the job against Norwich Tomorrow to put some pressure on the rest to slip up.

We just need two wins from the last three games.

If Jorginho started against palace instead of bringing him on against crystal palace when the opponents were tired, we would have lost that game.

The moment Kante and Gilmour got injured and we had to use Jorginho at the base we became doomed. Slow Sarri type tempo and the two 8's in mount and Barkley are scared to go forward and attack because Jorginho is so bad defensively so they need to protect him. This has caused little to no creativity. And starting Abraham over Giroud is a gamble that has failed like we all said when we saw the lineup.

Lol Where have you been

He should only be playing when we need to slow down the play, control possession to protect our lead. Not when we need to score and we're playing Sarri's slow rubbish

The Abraham gamble has failed. He should have played Giroud who can put up a contest against Centerbacks. We are practically playing with 10 men. And Jorginho is "controlling the tempo" at a slow pace to allow us to make any meaningful attack.

He has been useless. The only thing he had going for him was his crosses and he's been bad at that too since the restart
