Jorginho's lobs are a lost cause

Jorginho started the season strongly as he was constantly linking the attack and the defence. However, he has lost his touch a bit as the season progressed. The Italian hasn't been able to make a meaningful impact for a while now and hasn't really influenced proceedings in attack.

There have been moments where Jorginho has lost the ball in crucial areas, and some of them have led to goals. His questionable lobs over the top have been even more frustrating.

On countless occasions, he has been lobbing the ball without even looking at the players available. These lobs rarely reach a Chelsea shirt and break down the attack more often than not.

Against Bournemouth, Jorginho was moving the ball around quickly but was careless with his lobs again. As Chelsea started losing its way in the match, Jorginho became careless and lobbed the ball more and more.

Considering the situation, it was extremely naive to continue this strategy. It is clear that this gameplan is not coming off and Lampard should talk to Jorginho about this in detail.
