Jorginho

[!Hazard! 3,394]

I still can't believe we have Kante, Kovacic AND Jorginho. Give me any of those 3 in around 2013 and I'd be over the moon.

And on top of that we also have Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Gilmour etc. Oh boy

Yeah, it seems like Lampard would have quite the selection headache if everyone would be available and not injured. Not that that's gonna happen anytime soon lol

Our squad depth has low-key become really strong this season. Our benches this term have been full of game changing options (as Lampard alluded to himself in a recent match) even though we're still yet to have a fully fit squad available.

Think this is the first time since 2009/2010 we have had such a deep squad in terms of quality, recent years it's always been about 15 first team players and the rest scratch players to make up the numbers in domestic cup games (like Kenedy and ageing Ferreira).

It would still be this way if Lampard wasn't the manager. Every other manager would marginalize the youngsters and they wouldn't even be in conversation as depth options. Otherwise, if you looked at our squad before season's start, not many would say we had great quality in depth after Hazard's and Luiz's departures. Even Jorginho and Kovacic were slaughtered before; Tomori wasn't considered anywhere near starting quality; Tammy, Mount were big question marks too - but look at them now. Lamps has created those options himself and I couldn't be happier with his work so far.

On the bench for Italy tonight at Liechtenstein. TFG!

Mostly because previous managers tolerated bench like shite.

Alonso and Emerson are both delivering for example. They are somewhat on same respectful level for Lamps. Sarri for example first tolerated Emerson badly and kept playing Alonso despite his bad form and then turned the other way around. Either way, whoever was on the bench was out of the plans.

Lamps counts on all players and he actualy does that, not just says it.

The easiest example here is Bats tho. Tammy is undisputed starter right now, but Lamps still gives Bats minutes and he delivers. When you have a backup striker who is taking chances and scores, you are doing good job in managing. 

The only two players that Lamps will keep on playing regardless of form seem to be Jorginho (due to being only player with specific qualities) and Willian (#10, experience, status). The rest of the team will rotate based on whoever is fit and in form. Thats why the bench performs well.

There is no more shit like player x plays great game, but he never gets another chance because player y is managers boy.

@communicate watch that and tell me Jorginho's passing range is only "ok"

great wee video 

That is just ok. Usually when you play technical regista their range is like Andrea pirlo or at least Scholes

Only if you are Pirlo or Scholes... they were considered top top players for a reason, not every technical regista is from their class. In fact such players are quite rare, this is why you can name only a handful of them, who have deservedly become football legends.

Team playing a purely technical player who is very2 unathletic as base midfield is also very rare unless you are so good like Pirlo.

Did you watch the video? My god. We will just agree to disagree then 😂 probably the only person who will say his passing range is ok...

He was an absolute baller today. MOTM

Jorginho is prime example you need to give a player  time from different league time to adapt to the PL hes been good so far the stick he got last season I'm surprised he didn't want to leave in the summer fair play to him he stuck at it and he prove alot of Chelsea fans and pundits wrong 

[kellzfresh 7,226]

Jorginho vs Newcastle : Touches - 114 Successful Passes - 94 Pass success - 92% Accurate Long Balls - 6/7 Chances created - 2 Key Passes - 1 Ariels won - 3/4 Tackles - 5 Interceptions - 1 Recoveries - 10

I also thought Kova was a candidate for POM today.

Translation: "Come on my captain"

 

Jorginho is a leader in the team

[BlueLion. 21,491]

My regista! 

[Tomo 21,681]

He's probably our only untouchable at the minute with the outfielders.

Anyone else we can lose and the team performance by in large won't be too highly affected (even Kante as has shown) but I don't think we will be able to control games the way we have lately even against the likes of Newcastle if Jorginho wasn't playing.

Hopefully Gilmour is being moulded into an alternative because "Sarri's pet" is just as crucial to Lampard's brand of football, if not more so.
