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

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

My regista!

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.

I asked in Ajax match thread, but what was the deal with Jorginho tickling Batshuayi's balls to celebrate the goal? That was a strange celebration.

How Jorginho's passing became vital to Chelsea By Alistair Tweedale Football writer

How times have changed for Jorginho. For almost the entirety of last season - his first in English football - he was a Granit Xhaka-like lightning rod for criticism of Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea side. What wrangled for so many was just how much Chelsea - and Jorginho in particular - passed the ball. On and on moves would go. The Italy midfielder would be involved every time. He both attempted and completed more passes than any other player in the Premier League in 2018/19, yet he didn’t manage a single assist. What, the fans wondered, was the need for such a relentless commitment to passing ad infinitum? Of course there was far more method to it all than Sarri or Jorginho were given credit, but it has nonetheless taken until Frank Lampard’s appointment, an impressive run of goals and a seven-game winning streak for the feel-good factor at Stamford Bridge to reach Jorginho. He is now feeling the love of the Chelsea fans. Chelsea are more direct under Lampard, so there is less ponderous passing and fewer touches for Jorginho. Play still goes through him, though, and he is noticeably more effective. Not only in the win at Wolves did he finally break his Premier League assist duck, but this season he tops the Premier League for involvement in moves that end with a shot.

More chances have been created in passing sequences that have involved Jorginho than any other player this season, with 46 Chelsea shots culminating from moves in which he played a part. Clearly, there is some point to him, after all. Jorginho is six clear of his nearest challenger at the top of this table, with Manchester City’s Rodri in second place after being involved in 40 moves that result in a chance. Six of the top eight are, perhaps unsurprisingly, also City players. The only other non-City player in the top eight is from a club you might not expect to see up here: Brighton’s Dale Stephens, who has been involved in 35 passing sequences ending with a shot. Given Brighton rank 13th for total shots attempted this season, with 86 - meaning Stephens has played a role in more than 40 per cent of his teams attacking moves - he must be considered among the most valuable passers in the top flight. Way down the list on 22 ‘involvements’ in attacking moves is Arsenal’s best player in this regard, Xhaka. He has endured similar struggles in convincing his own supporters of his worth, but he obviously plays a key role for Unai Emery’s side. Though it might just take him doubling his tally and challenging Jorginho if he is to win over the fans that so deride him.

Pick of the week

"Xhaka was wrong in reacting to the ironic cheers when he was subbed. Although he issued a statement on Thursday, it was also a mistake not to issue an immediate apology to try to defuse the tension. But on the list of misdemeanours of recent Arsenal captains, I would suggest it is a relatively tame offence." Jamie Carragher why the booing of Granit Xhaka is not only an Arsenal issue.

What an assist against Watford  

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Bar the penalty (although it was soft and ridiculous to be awarded), he was brilliant again. Loved that he gave Delefou a bit after fouling him 5-10 mins after the penalty because it was very very soft the way he went down. Kovacic edges MOTM for me out the two but again, just between the two of them that wee incident not kicking it out and trying to play in our own box was their only fault for the two of them.

[Nicco 927]

Kovacic will need to fill his role next week with Kante hopefully.
