He’s kind of like a budget Carrick. Not sure he’s that good, although I like the type of player he is.
Why some good football brains trust jorginho more than any one else always puzzle for many including me.See this is why Jorginho will always remain underrated. Even by Chelsea fans who watch him day in day out. It is also why a player like Kovacic who plays next to him will look more impressive 9/10 despite being the inferior player.
Jorginho makes the right decision 9.9 times out of 10. His footwork is average but as you say his mind his quick. That means he almost always makes the right decision, which includes not doing something daft like trying to dribble or dance your way out of pressure when you play as a deep lying midfielder. Losing the ball in that position means you gift the opposition a free goal scoring opportunity. There are almost no scenarios where dancing or dribbling your way out of pressure is the right decision in the position Jorginho plays. If you do that it either means you have failed to position yourself correctly or the the team has failed to do the same.
People who do not grasp football at a deep tactical level cannot see why a player like Jorginho is more effective and adds more value then say a player who is more nimble and able to dribble himself out of trouble. The latter is taking huge risks which usually do not compare with the added benefit. Not many players play that position better than Jorginho. It is extremely difficult and unforgiving position and job. One mistake and you probably cost your team a goal. Do the right thing and nobody will notice.
One criticism of Jorginho is that when he moves high up the pitch he becomes less effective because he is not a dribbling forward and does not posses qualities like Iniesta for example who could do a lot in different roles. Then again, Iniesta is an all time great who was extremely unique. The basic premise is that very few players can play dual roles and be effective in all areas of the pitch.
It's amazing we've won the UCL with so many (according to you) average players.He’s kind of like a budget Carrick. Not sure he’s that good, although I like the type of player he is.

Apart from THAT one I can't recall a match point penalty ever being missed/saved.Quality penalty taker. One of the best "5th" penalties I've seen.
Sorry. Which one?Apart from THAT one I can't recall a match point penalty ever being missed/saved.
It's probably/obviously happened but I genuinely can't recall it outside of Moscow.
I feel like it's probably the biggest "missed" penalty of all time right?Apart from THAT one I can't recall a match point penalty ever being missed/saved.

He also beats Declan Rice last season on every stat going. I like Jorginho, he has had a very good season. The only problem i have with Jorginho is his lack of physicality, especially in a back four and when the game gets opened up his lack of speed gets badly exposed, In a back three it doesn't get exposed as bad.From twitter:
Most interceptions at #EURO2020
Jorginho - 20
Kante - 14
Most Interceptions at Euro 2020 per 90 (3 apps or more)
Kante - 3.2
Jorginho - 3.1

You don't know the half of it.As far as winning penalties in a shootout go, it was cool.
But not as cool as Abreu against Ghana, eh @antohan?
The closest i can recall was Asamoah Gyan missing a last minute penalty in regulation play then Ghana losing the shootout.I feel like it's probably the biggest "missed" penalty of all time right?
People miss to lose finals (Baggio being the prime example)but I'm fairly certain Terry is the only one to miss a big final (i'm talking CL / World Cup) pen that would have won the game. I haven't done a deep dive into penalty shoot-outs though, so don't quote me on that!
His posts in the football forum are literally always the same.It's amazing we've won the UCL with so many (according to you) average players.
Tuchel must be even better than I thought.
It’s amazing you didn’t also win the league with the way Chelsea fans rate their players.It's amazing we've won the UCL with so many (according to you) average players.

But it wouldn't hurt like before 2012 though.May be we could lead cl trophy count more than m.utd if Terry not fecked it up.
Any excuse
He’s hardly leaving the Champions League-winner and London to move to a club in Manchester managed by an amateur compared to what he’s already got. Jeesh, lose the attitude. It’s 2021, not 99.Wouldn’t mind him if we could get him on the cheap - could be a useful squad player for us. Seems like the sort of player that would be grateful we’re in for him and really play for the shirt.
Nah you won the champions league with a lot of good players which contributes to having very good attacking depth. That isn't even controversial, you don't have any truly world-class players but not many dross ones either.It's amazing we've won the UCL with so many (according to you) average players.

I think Kanté and Thiago Silva are definitely proven world class. If Mount, Havertz, Jorginho and Rüdiger confirm the level they've displayed under Tuchel so far, they're world class, too, IMO. James, Pulisic and Werner at least have the potential to get there. They have a very balanced high quality squad that fits very well to the philosophy of their coach if you ask me.Nah you won the champions league with a lot of good players which contributes to having very good attacking depth.

Don't take that too serious - I believe the guy is taking the piss a bit, have a slight feeling this is a parody account Just browse his posting historyHe’s hardly leaving the Champions League-winner and London to move to a club in Manchester managed by an amateur compared to what he’s already got.

Kante is possibly the only debatable one for me. He's not my type of player thus not world-class, but I can see the argument. Thiago Silva was world-class but isn't any longer, he's been good for Chelsea but not phenomenal. Agreed with some of their young players particularly Havertz, James and Mount who have the potential for more growth, but I don't see Jorginho getting any better than he already is (i.e a simple, good player). Rudiger was average before Tuchel arrived because he's error-prone and rash but he's been covered well by the system in a back three. The way I see it they have a good squad, with a good manager which means they can look at performing well... good.I think Kanté and Thiago Silva are definitely proven world class.

You don't think Kante is world class? Obviously the definition of world class is different to all but to me it's the top 3 or so players in each positionNah you won the champions league with a lot of good players which contributes to having very good attacking depth.

Yeh, I'd say by most peoples metrics Kante is world class. I have always found him a tad overrated though personally and he wouldn't make a dream team of mine (I'll add nor would his profile of player).You don't think Kante is world class?

Just seen your comment above
I think this is a pretty balanced take. What I'd say though to bring the thread back on topic a bit is that for me the key innovation Tuchel has made with Jorginho is playing him in a pivot - he's looked far better when pressing vertically and recovering than sitting at the base and trying to move laterally. Italy have copied this to some extent - although they line up as a 4-3-3 in possession and against opposing transitions they're almost always more of a 3-2-5 as Barella is stepping up.Kante is possibly the only debatable one for me. He's not my type of player thus not world-class, but I can see the argument. Thiago Silva was world-class but isn't any longer, he's been good for Chelsea but not phenomenal.

To be honest I think it is hard not to include Kanté in the world class category. The guy is a specialist but so, so good at what he does. I also think Thiago Silva is more or less the same player he used to be only a bit more injury prone. I absolutely love Jorginho though. He's just such an intelligent player and he's so reliable at advancing the player. Takes the easy decision when there's only risky options at hand but also reliably plays the difficult vertical passes without attempting Hollywood stuff.Kante is possibly the only debatable one for me.

I actually agree with most of that apart from Silva, I know we've been here before but I really feel you and others are sleeping on him a bit because of his age. He's also smashing it in the Copa aswell.Kante is possibly the only debatable one for me. He's not my type of player thus not world-class, but I can see the argument.

Think he might be better.He’s kind of like a budget Carrick. Not sure he’s that good, although I like the type of player he is.
Disagree, Thiago Silva was something of a freak athlete in his Milan & earlier PSG days. He's lost the top end of that and plays more conservatively as a result. But to me he's still one of the world's best, as his massive allround quality as a defender & on the ball is still there.I also think Thiago Silva is more or less the same player he used to be only a bit more injury prone.

(I also think too much is made out of sheer pace in general. Anticipation, decisionmaking, skill are more important.)
managed by an amateur that finished above Chelsea in the league. Okay MikeLUHGHe’s hardly leaving the Champions League-winner and London to move to a club in Manchester managed by an amateur compared to what he’s already got. Jeesh, lose the attitude. It’s 2021, not 99.
Possibly True. He has to compensate for less size and pace than CarrickThink he might be better.

Not from what I've seen. Carrick remained a better reader of the game, was taller and more physical. Better off of both feet too while I think also better at passing between the lines. Carrick was a massively underappreciated player but he held down the Utd midfield for years pretty much alone and we still kept winning. I do like Jorginho as a player and particularly his profile of player but he's a class below for now. It is worth mentioning that Carrick actually got better with age and really was still top class into his 30s so Jorginho still has some time in that regard.Think he might be better.
Crazy you do so much business together.
