Do I think he's been decent in terms of individual performance? Yes but I think he lacks some vital skills to play in that role. Also given the fluitidity and build up play we lose by putting him there instead of Jorgi or Gilmour the trade off has to be that we're much more solid defensively, and I'm just not sure we are (even yesterday there were a couple of occasions Watford were a through ball away from a 1 on 1 with Kepa). Kante is more of an proactive hunter, sitting in sticking 100% to his position and playing the patience game just isn't him, even if he learns to reign it in a bit more often there will still be times he instinctively evades position to hunt an interception/tackle and if that backfires we're all of a sudden really stretched (that was a problem for him even at his absolute peak playing there, case in point Ozil's goal against us in that game that forced Conte to overhaul the system), an example since the restart would be where the late free kick Villa got against us, he had to bring Grealish down because he evaded position and got turned. Sorry mate. But it's a case of you don't know what you got, till it's gone. Jorginho is shit. Absolute shit. He is literally hunted down by opponents. Easily one of the weakest links. Moreover slows our attacks down more than giving it an impetus ans defensively it just makes us imbecilic. I think Lampard has been totally and completely vindicated. Jorginho should be no where near our starting 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,219 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The five Chelsea players whose futures are in doubt after Sheffield United shocker https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/five-chelsea-players-whose-futures-18583249 Frank Lampard's message was clear. When the head coach said that he had learnt a lot from his team's spineless performance, it was clear that a number of those on the pitch now have serious doubts over their future. The most galling thing about the 3-0 defeat to Sheffield United was the lack of commitment and fight. Individual mistakes are one thing, a lack of effort is a whole other. Here are five players with a challenge on their hands to prove they should be part of next season's squad. 1chelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically you could have those 5 plus Emerson, Alonso and Barkley if you wanted to but we will never offload 7 from our squad on top of Willian and Pedro who are going plus the several others who make up the loan scrapheap. Plus you could question whether or not James, Abraham or Hudson-Odoi will feature as prominently next season (they'll obviously still be squad players 100% as they are talented boys but you can expect that this season will have been a reality check for them in many instances that hopefully they grow stronger from).

El P. 1,354 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 What do you guys think what is more important to us - to sign left-back or a keeper? I assume we can all agree that buying central-back is more important than those two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know defensively he's his problems but all in all I like him. Think we need 2 solid CB much more than LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
