Jorginho might know Sarriball at the back of his hand, but yesterday it was clearly evident that if the playmaker is tested by the opposition coach and man-marked properly, Chelsea's game goes for a toss.

Maurizio Sarri might be over-relying on the Italian international, and this might be making it easier for opposition coaches to break down Chelsea's game.

Jorginho was touted as the signing of the season a few months ago, but the star's form has deteriorated over the past few weeks, and this might be the result of over-reliance on the ex-Napoli star.

Chelsea also has a lot of options in Jorginho's position like Fabregas, Kante, Barkley, and Kovacic, who could be used to reduce the pressure on the Italian play-maker so that his natural ability to control the game comes out strong. Fabregas might be a good option to rest Jorginho for a bit.
