#2 Jorginho’s role

Jorginho is probably one of the weakest links in Sarri's team.

When Jorginho moved to Chelsea during the previous summer, there was a lot of hype about his passing expertise and the crucial role he will play in Sarri’s system. But right now, he is the weakest link in this team and in this match he was once again man marked and bullied by the opposition midfield. His lean frame makes it easy for the opposition players to press hard and win back the ball and he contributed very little in defense when his team is in trouble. In this match, he lost the ball easily when he moved forward to create passing lanes. Kante’s magnificent box to box performance today raises questions as to whether he should replace Jorginho in the defensive midfield role. At the moment, teams are finding it really easy to shut down Jorginho and soon Sarri might be forced to find another place for Jorginho in his system.
