Jorghino would be a good fit at Arsenal alongside Xhaka .

You wait and see how he bosses the show against Spurs and Arsenal over the next few weeks.

Did he play in the final last year? I can’t remember!

All about opinions and you certainly not alone in thinking he isn’t a Premiership player but when I get to a game and see him play, I just love it.

Putting aside I never thought I would see a player slower than Cesc.

The way he makes space to receive the ball reminds me so much of the late great Butch Wilkins and he just looks to keep the play simple and the ball moving. I rate him but I do have a habit of looking at players differently to some fans!

before Jorginho came on we weren't able to find a teammate with a pass. As for your 'lay a glove' comment, I distinctly remember that Tammy had at least two good chances to equalise- a header and the chance following Lamptey's pass. In contrast, you didn't manage a shot on target after you scored. It should of been a draw, you dominated the first half and we dominated the second.

Great to have string opinions but I disagree.

Do did Pep, Sarri, and Lamps.

Do you think it's luck that means Jorghino is always in the right place (see his interception stats) despite being so slow?

The guy is pure class, he mashed such a difference. Yes he's physically poor, but still does a great job.


Now, put that influence around all of the young players at Chelsea. Imagine the lessons they're getting. For me he's the most important s squad player we have.

We are bang average this season but still a lot better than Arsenal or Spurs.

All three teams are work in progress. I think we also need less of an overhaul than you and Spurs but MA has now got you quickly introduce the PG tag team fouling routine.

Banter aside, I think MA will be good for you but I’m not so sure about Jose and Spurs but then again he does have a habit of winning trophies.

It's all about opinions, however, moving onto facts he did change the game vs Arsenal significantly so he can't be that bad? Tbh most Chelsea fans sing his name at games and that's what matters and we appreciate what he provides to this team.

I won't make any comments on Xhaka because I haven't seen enough of him or any Arsenal players because I haven't seen enough of them barring highlights.

Ed002, you've made some interesting comments about EPL clubs and why they pay a premium. Is it fair to say Chelsea no longer pay a particular premium due to status as "big spenders" and/ or approach to buying?

I can remember situations in the past where clubs (Aulas at Lyon in particular, Levy at Spurs re: Modric too) haven't been happy with Chelsea's approach, but that seems generally in the past. My view is the club is pretty well run, professional in how it approaches transfers, and has a structured approach to things - not that fans would always agree with that.

Best football we've played all season in that 2nd half. Reece, Mount, Tammy and CHO were brilliant throughout and we should've really scored a couple more. Barkley had a very good game too to be fair to him. Prefer the role Mount played in that 2nd half, dropped more into the midfield to help dictate the play rather than playing as a shadow striker. That's where he's at his best and hopefully he plays that way more often. As for Reece i have no words for him, he's just special. Great performance boys!.

Thanks for that summary LondonBlue, from what I’ve seen I couldn’t agree more!

Agree the 2nd half was brilliant. It should have seen us score 5+ goals.

It makes such a difference when we score an early goal compared to when we don't. Things seem so much more natural than being rushed. Experience is key.

I have to agree re. Barkley - I thought it was one of his best games in a Chels shirt - and he does have that knack of grabbing a goal.
