Jorginho has been brilliant in his last three games against Man City, Spurs and Fulham. Today he scored, he could have had two assists for Higuain and 1 for Willian. Excellent response to criticism from his own teams fans.

People have always talked about him not having any assists but he's been completely robbed of about 5 or 6 this season. He's improved defensively which has been very important and he'll continue to get better as long as we continue to adapt to Sarri's football.

100% agree LB90, he has been robbed by our poor finishing. Today he should have had atleast two assists but fortunately for us he had to do it the hard way and score a beauty.

The main talking point is how well his been playing recently. Finally the media can see how well he is doing so maybe Chelsea fans will take note.

Jorginho, Kante and RLC and Kova generally set up a great midfield.

Hes a defensive liability and his more contructive contribution today was against one a championship side.

I’m not a hater or anything but I thought Jorginho had an okay game. Nothing good but nothing bad either. I really don’t see what he brings to a top side defensively he was bypassed with ease yet again and his forward passes were not bad but a touch off. Think Kovacic played better when he came on.

Kovacic is stronger quicker and can compete in more competitive games.
Fulham gave Jorghino more freedom than he would get in an exhibition match which can only be down to Scotts incredible naivety .

Turvey,

Jorghino stats vs City:

- 4 Most interceptions
- 6 Most tackles
- 13 Most balls regained

To say he's a liability defensively is false. I can accept if you don't like him as a player, just because. But to say he's no good in a defensive matter isn't right.

04 Mar 2019 18:31:48
What are his stats for the other 30 games?
Hes a liability defensively and offers little or nothing going forward except against championship level sides.

04 Mar 2019 20:18:18
Turvey just to remind you, the 2nd goal at the bridge vs Fulham was because of Jorginho's defensive tackle.

I don't take any club in the premier league being weak. You can only beat what is in front. Support your team and your players.

Really nice goal by Higuain and Jorgihno.

Maybe Higuain has lost a touch of pace but he definitely knows where the goal is.

03 Mar 2019 15:59:10
We’re so so lucky hanging on when the game should’ve been dead an buried but 3 more points which is the main thing
Onwards and upwards come on the blues.

It was one of those games where we should have wrapped it up in the first half. Very good 1st half performance.

2nd half was not so good. It's obvious we have some really tired players. Hazard needs a rest, its very important that we get a rested EH for the run in.

Well done Kepa. brilliant saves.

RLC seems fit enough to start ahead of Barkely. Personally Barkely for me has to be dropped. The boy lacks confidence. He will find himself on the bench far more often in the near future because I am in no doubt RLC is ready who is brilliant with the ball and drives from midfield.

Happy to have won knowing David Luiz was reset who is crucial.

03 Mar 2019 16:43:15
We’ve Cho on the bench if he looks tired as did Pedro I thought when he came on why not give him a run
If Ruben can stay fit now I think he’ll get some good game time between now and the end of the season
Thought Christensen was good today, Emerson caught out a bit but the 3 points the most important thing
Kepa
Azpi Luiz Christensen Emerson
Kovacic Kante Ruben
Cho Giroud Willian
That’s my team for kiev.
