Without creating chances to score?ย That's not controlling games. ย Jorginho only passes back... Haven't seen a single good pass forward from him this season. He created the pass for Hazard against Watford the other night. That is what got us the penalty. That was an excellent pass. Also when we played Arsenal and beat them 3-2, was it not his excellent pass that created the pass that split Arsenal defence open and gave Alonso a free pass for Pedro who scored? I cannot remember all games on top of my head but he has done some very good passes which have not led to a goal and that is not his fault. He is also playing the DM role too and is not in an advanced position so it is not as big of a shock as people are making out. Especially when teams sit back. People look at stats way too much. People need to look at the bigger perspective and see what caused an assist. For instance Alonso got the registered assist against Arsenal for Pedro's goal but really more credit goes to Jorginho. But because there is no assist on his name, people forget this suddenly LOL. Mufassir08, Arlen Correa, kellzfresh and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 There are far more players to be worried about in this team than Jorginho, it's just the gutter press being massive bell ends as per. 11Drogba, Fernando and Stats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont mind at all Jorgi not being a goal scorer but I do think he could give us lots of asists. But i dont see our lads running into spaces to accept that kind of ball. He can only give those passes to players who get themselves into position. And if Korgi isn't going to give us goals we really do need a goal scoring ACM even moreso, Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think though such stats will never be a measuring stick for his Chelsea career. He'll more than likely be the player more often to play the pass before the assist...just as important a job and one of a number of reasons why he's been brought here.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 People need to make their mind. One minute, people are complaining we don't score enough goals. The next, people go after Jorginho for basically not creating chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The only thing I excpected more from is his long passing.ย He averages just 2,5 long passes per game. Kroos has 9,5, Thiago has 7, Busquets has 4,5.ย Sometimes you just need long pass to break the press / create dangerous chance and Jorginho isnt doing it enough.

Although Jorginho did have a few shaky games after a hot start, he has definitely made up for it in recent matches vs Spurs ect.

Only thing wrong with Jorgi is he doesn't get the players moving into areas where his passes can do damage! Hes not a goal scorer, Isnt supposed to be!

He had a promising period, but he's reverted back to this shy and restricted self. He should be dominating and ramming through people and getting shots away in the box...

When he and RLCย had a spell and all that palarva about them being the next English heroes was just too good to be true. Tho I do like Barkley and he has all the makings of a decent player. But like most of our lads theres no intensiity. No fire. No end product. I would also try RLC as striker. Just to give it a shot.ย Edens lost as false 9. And hes a big strong boy that should be able to bully his way thru. Hes not a ACM. And thats what we need as one of our priorities I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
