May Allah allow us to witness many more of it.

Zouma had a lot of options that could have helped achieve that players dragging aim.

After delaying, what stopped him from passing to Kepa who has opened for him already? But no! He decided to give Jorg who was choked with 3 players.

Jorg gave a wrong pass, but Zouma caused the whole shiit.

What stopped Rudiger from passing to Mendy below? I know most of you would have blamed Silva below if he did a Jorginho here.

Would you have blamed Rudiger if this had led to a goal as Mendy was off his line just like Kepa?

Elnino4ladies:


Advantage given for handball?? Lol.. That's not the rule

Apart from head-injury, a ref can give an advantage to almost all actions in football.

Jodera:
Watching this clip, I don't know how it's zouma fault for giving Jorginho the pass..
Yes he has options really, but the crux of the matter is not about the options he had but whether he gave jorg a bad pass or in a bad situation. And the answer is NO!.

Ordinary looking up by jorginho to see where kepa is can't be zouma fault.

If everybody start looking at "better passing options" before a player gives a final pass to another person, then I'm sure only few Chelsea players might pass that criteria

Jorginho made a huge mistake there but have you ever wondered why Kepa wasn't in the the post at that moment? Kepa was waiting for a pass from Zouma.

Your own is that you just don’t want to admit that Zouma fvcked up with what he did, not because he didn’t fvck up, but because it wasn’t Rudiger that did that.

You still had to drag Rudiger in just to push agenda. They are currently not mate in term of form and ball play. Rudiger is now miles ahead of Zouma and it’s a fact you just have to admit.

The bolded is true.
But it's not a rule that Zouma MUST give/pass Kepa the ball just because he opened.

He still gave jorginho the ball(which isn't wrong), if only jorginho had looked at kepa instead of assuming (he had the time to look at kepa) before passing, all these zouma ish wouldn't have been brought up. And in fact, all those passing options would not have existed sef

Agenda must Agend.

How can you watch the replay of that goal and still try to defend Zouma

Jorginho, Zouma and Kepa are all culpable for the goal they all didnt cover themselves in glory for that goal.

SodO9:
If arsenal didn't score the ball will ref blow for free kick cause of the back pass

Marriner would have awarded an indirect free-kick to Arsenal and a yellow card to Kepa.

Amoto94:

Kepa how?

Nobody is even talking about VAR not blowing a penalty in that match in the case of Rob Holding’s handball

donstan18:

Delaying to make a pass becomes wrong when you ignore all available options to rehearsal your traffic warden abilities.

Zouma had options, he had about 4 options ffs.

Is this too difficult for someone who watched that match to understand? This is not me hating on Zouma, he was my preferred defender to Rudiger, but it irritates me to see players make things difficult for their fellow players.

He made nothing difficult for Jorginho. Absolutely NOTHING!

Jorginho was not even under pressure when the pass came! What are you talking about sef? He was even free to make a half turn and pass to Silva, deleting Smith Rowe and Aubameyang in the process.

Zouma played a neat pass that posed absolutely no danger.

airmark:


If it didn't lead to goal, nobody would have said anything about Zouma not using other options.

They are unconsciously saying Zouma should never trust Jorginho with such passes again.

As in...

This is a kind of pass DMs get all game long, especially in teams that build from the back.

Jorginho have no excuse making such error.

Capaldi:

This is agenda. Even Thiago silva that was closer to the goal post than Jorginho stood still. Everybody thought it's was a sure goal already and no one expected Kepa to even reach the ball.

Exactly.

These are mistakes that led to the goal. If Jorginho and/or Silva reacted quick enough, maybe the Jorginho error could have been corrected. But people here leave all that and start blaming Zouma who made an innocent clean pass.

Amoto94:

Lol...

Haba... Why will you blame Kepa?

Expert17:

I don't think so.

Considering where Kepa is and the direction of the ball, it can be argued that that's not a back pass. Silva is just by the side. What if the ball was meant for Silva?

For me, that's a loose ball.

Neobulletzz:

His hand was in a natural position.

Jorginho didn't look up, and he passed straight to Kepa's position.

What refs examine in this situation is the intention from the passer and the GK. Jorginho deliberately passed to Kepa and he also saved with his hands deliberately.

How did this clown become a billionaire for goodness sake. This guy is doing everything to discredit crypto and make it look like a joke.

Oh boy I sold everything as soon as I got that alert. Thankfully I caught it within 10 minutes from Telegram. And this time, I'm not buying the dip because who knows which companies will want to make environmental point now. Let me give it a few days to settle.

This sums it all up. If u are still blaming zouma for Jorginho playing the ball straight into his own goal post, mehn.....I don't know what to tell u

Unlimited22:

I asked simple questions regarding similar situation, instead of answering the questions you started talking about ''Rudiger and Zouma are not mates bla bla bla''. Who was talking about that with you?

Ogbeni, what stopped Rudiger from playing the pass to Mendy that opened for him in the gif posted above? Would you have blamed Rudiger had Silva messed with that pass and it led to a goal?

If you can't answer those questions or can't blame Rudiger then you have no point blaming Zouma for passing to Jorginho.

Gbam!!!

How Jorginho turned the harmless pass to a very dangerous and critical situation is entirely on him.
What suppose concern zouma there?

BlueRayDick:

In our next match our defenders would still play such passes and nobody would shout here because it may not lead to goal.

In fact yesterday, Mendy gave Silva a more difficult pass that i was even afraid as it was more risky and we used it to break Arsenal's high press in that moment. Nobody blamed Mendy as we used it to propel attack.

Jorginho was the culprit and he knows that himself.

Pure back pass.
Everybody knows that pass is intended for kepa as it's aimed towards the goalpost side. Silva was never close to the goalpost na

Lol... Isn't this the exact situation between xhaka and Leno against Burnley earlier this season and most people were blaming Leno for passing to xhaka

Omo, Kepa shocked me o.

He actually saved that pass from Jorgs.

Waoh.

I think I am missing something here. When did Jorginho become a sacred cow that must not be criticised?

The goal was entirely his fault and Zouma had no hand in it. And mentioning Kepa is ridiculous, with all due respect.

What those blaming zouma are doing is called "kanipe analysis".....More like "kanipe zouma passed the ball quickly or balloon the ball out when he was being pressed, shebi there won't be need for Jorginho to do that back pass na "....

They leave what happened and are busy debating what could've been (or not)
