This is going to be very controversial but Jorginho. As much as I like him and appreciate he has had ana amazing stsrt to the season, he’s not as good as everyone says he is. Don’t get me wrong I think he’s currently one of the best in the league and without him we’d be a lot worse however I just can’t agree with the fact that he doesn’t ever make mistakes and he’s the key to our team. He’s consistent but nothing special like Kante. He’s very good at what he does but he does make mistakes when passing, he can’t run that fast and his attacking play isn’t very good. Not criticising him at all as I haven’t mentioned his multiple positives but I’m just saying what I think.

Everyone’s opinion should be treated with respect and without doubt Jorginho has started well but like all new players, he will have to cofirm his start with a strong seasons performance.
Let’s hpoe it ends with a trophy or two!

Some of the best central midfielders are not so quick, they play more with their head and precision and I think Jorginho has both. I do not agree with you CFCboy.

I don’t agree either. Jorginho is vital to Sarriball. No he’s not fast but like the above poster said you don’t need to be as a CM. Pirlo wasn’t neither was Xavi or Iniesta and he’s got too players either side in Kante and Kovacic who will help him out.

Have to agree with the original post. Don't get me wrong obviously he makes mistakes, almost everyone does. But he is one of the smartest players on the hall we've had in reason times, everything he does is with purpose. I think his pace isn't the best but his positioning is good. Passing exceptional and awareness reminds me of Cesc on a good day.

Players like Jorghino usually get credit when something has been achieved because they go about their work quietly and are rarely eye catching. He thinks quickly, passes beautifully and reads the game well and a comparison with Kante is unfair as they are completely different players. Kante is eye catching because he is something of a 'Billy Whizz', here, there and everywhere. He breaks up attacks, drives forward and covers the whole pitch during a match so becomes more noticeable. Personally I do not like to see Kante push as far forward as he has done this season as it is putting greater pressure on Kovacic and Jorghino.

Not that I’m coriticismg him I’m just not agreeing with everyone saying he’s amazing. Everyone on hear is right in what they said how you don’t need to be fast and he is a very good CM and I agree. But during the game the over night the commentators were praising him how he’s the best in the league at the moment and how he hasn’t made a single mistake but I can see a few mistakes he amde.

The problem I have with Jorghino is that Kante has had to move into a position that doesn't suit him.

Yea Miss Darren Wood, you are correct about Kante and Jorginho, and cos of that I sometimes feel that Chelsea's ideal midfield shape should be this-🔼 rather than this-🔽 (considering Jorginho's inability to win the ball: where Kante gets to partner Jorginho as one of the two deep playmakers) .
{Ed001's Note - he has the ability but I have to agree with you he seems to be very mentally fragile. However he is still young enough that can be dealt with. Drogba was struggling at the same age. I would want to get him working with a psychologist to boost his confidence and give him some more time.}
