Jorginho and Havertz starting in our midfield largely explains our lack of creativity
We are largely reliant on moments of individual brilliance
What bother me about Havertz is how casually he passes the ball and lack of intent in his finishing. He plays as if there are no associated consequences
The jorginho thing is becoming like David Luiz. Where he’s actually a good player, solid contributor and a smart buy, but he’s lazily lumped in with the Chelsea flop from around the same time (Willian, havertz). We’re very fortunate to have jorginho he’s been great for us.
This is revisionism at its finest. Luiz, until his last 6 months, was calamitous and only saved some of reputation for his last few games for us. Jorginho has been far better than Luiz
He’s a great backup, and we’re lucky to have him honestly. There aren’t many players that can play the 6 role in this team, and having him come in january and fill it well enough is a big blessing.
He was never meant to be playing this many games, but that’s what happens sometimes.
I can’t remember what position/role Jorginho was meant to fill in for when we bought him - was he meant to be a 6? Tbf to him, he’s been quite versatile.
I agree we scored goals almost exclusively because of special plays by the front 3 (particularly right now with Odegaard out).
Kai struggles to create in the midfield, can’t finish a chance to save his life, and is a below average defender. What does he do? It feels like his only value right now is winning aerials and I can’t understand how that justifies a consistent spot in the first team.

When you have the manager and fans saying you are playing well and wont hold you accountable when you are being passive and a 6/10 all game will do that

Harsh on Jorginho who has not played many of the games where our creativity was even more horrible.
Harsh on Jorginho he’s been pretty good bar the Chelsea game and the spurs error

Great is a bit much, he’s been fine and as a 2nd/3rd backup he’s fine

6, but he’s also fine as second holding mid to manage a game or a left 8.

I’d put Rice in there too. He’s great but his creativity is the one lacking feature.
He is a 6 playing as an 8 but at least his ball carrying is good
I mean it’s kind of simple when you think that we aimed to upgrade on Xhaka but ended up downgrading in almost every aspect
Its crazy how we literally downgraded offensively from xhaka to havertz when the goal was to upgrade
He plays as if 0-0 was the optimal score. Frustrating how little he contributes offensively
He plays like he doesn’t want to be there
We miss Partey there.
