I know Jorginho isn't about goals and assists, his passing was off and lost possession too many times for my liking. Now I don't appreciate you sneakily calling me and everybody else who doesn't agree with you dumb. Are you the etalon of smart above average fans that you take the liberty to classify peoples' intelligence? I've yet to see you prove yours, let alone judge anybody else's.

I was actually refering to the Twitter brigade tbh because yes it is flooded with idiots,  hey if you want to take it as a swipe at you, be my guest. He may have lost possession but I feel he had a very good game. I don't seek to imrpess or prove to you that I am intelligent manpe... I have better things to do.

The Chelsea fans who are criticising Jorginho for his performance yesterfay just don't understand football isn't all about goals and assists when playing in midfield. It doesn't take an ounce of intelligence to realise his role is to retain possession through passing until an opportunity arises.. The average football fan is pretty dumb though.

Replace midfield with wings and you can say the same about Willian. He provides energy, injects pace, and does the defensive work to keep a side balanced.

That he does indeed. The frustrations with Willians game isn't what you have mentioned because that is the positive side of Willian. Willian can't make simple passes at crucial times in the final 3rd which is vital for an attacking winger is it not? Jorginho is on his 1st season playing in a faster paced league than what he is familiar with. He is the cog in midfield to keep the ball moving which he does very well when the team are all playing in unison.

Injects pace??? Willian slows the damn game down to a snails pace with his fumbling bumbling passes and tricksy leg whips-overs.

He is a human rain delay

In the final third for sure, but bringing it up from the back and midfield? I've seen him dribble an entire midfield on numerous occasions. Sure he doesnt do anything when he gets to their box, but up to that point he plays a good role in transitioning from defense to offense.

Is this a serious post? You really think comparing a forward and a defensive midfielder attributes is comparable. 

Those qualities is a priority for a DM, and Jorginho is excellent at that. We have conceded the second lowest goals in the PL, and Jorginho is a huge part of that. On the other hand we are struggling offensively, and Willian is huge part of the issue.

Biggest complaint about Jorginho I have right now is that he can't or won't shoot the ball. He gets into very good shooting positions multiple times each game but barely ever takes the shot. I think he should really improve in that aspect in the future. Out of all the players he gets into the best central shooting positions the most often. Barkley and Kante usually find themselves in much more crowded spots around the 16 yard box and thus they can't take a clear shot

According to the Premier League's website, per the tweet below, Jorginho has played a huge 1,896 passes this season - more than any other player - without recording a single assist.

Not really a big deal for me. He is there to recycle possession. Kovacic and Willian number are more concerning

I'm still think right now he creates more problems than anything. When Arsenal was creating chances for fun in the end of 1st half, Jorginho was completely lost, marking no one, he can't win any 1vs1 battle, he can't harass the opponents. In the second half he have an assist to Abumayang, and he was lucky that was a soft off-side. I'm not really concerned about the number of touches, to be honest.

5 months later my opinion is the same. He is useless when the team don't have the ball, and as his zero assists stats prove, most of his contribution during the game is touching the ball...for me he is the biggest hidden weak link of this team. Thats why I think its a terrible idea when a manager sees a specific player as "key" to his tactics.

The fact he hasn't even assisted a goal this season (24 games) is extremely alarming.

4  tackles yesterday(only Kante had more and that includes Tottenham’s players),joint first at interceptions,one blocked shot and people say he doesn’t do anything without the ball...Jorginho does his job almost perfectly.We have 5 players in front  of him on the pitch(actually 7,if we include the full-backs) and they are supposed to provide the needed assists.

 

This guy is the main reason for the way we control games and people still slate him...

Controlling games? Without creating chances to score? That's not controlling games.

 

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.

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.
