Jorginho is a passenger to this team, and a big reason why we struggle. No direct/clinical passes that opens the game up, which Partey managed to do so well. Everyone keeps talking about how he brings calmness to the pitch, but always playing the safe, uninspiring pass to a CB is not what we need when starting a game. The Xhaka/Partey/Ødegaard balance in midfield is the reason we clicked last season
it wasn’t any different with Rice-MØ - Havertz midfield so whilst he’s a bit gash I don’t think this is the correct analysis.
I actually thought he played well last night. Not every ball needs to be clinical. There were some situations where he managed to keep position, cut out play, and good tactical awareness. We don’t have Xkaha, and Parety is injured, so who else can we play there?
You won’t be getting a better 3rd choice CM anywhere.
Rice is already an improvement on that midfield from last season at LCM, but you’re not wrong that Jorginho’s play of late has been frustrating.
that said, it’s not wrong to point out that he’s our 3rd choice 6, and we’re currently making do because of A) Thomas’ fitness and B) the fact that Havertz has not settled in like a fox in a slightly overgrown garden.
