Should Jorginho start ahead of Kante?

Lampard has made it clear he intends using two 8's (Jorginho obviously isn't an and one DM. So between Jorg and Kante, who would u prefer for that DM role?

Kante and kovacic can easily play the 8. And Jorginho takes the base..

This three is one of the strongest combo

Strongest combo against big teams?
Yeah.

Strongest combo against teams that would give us a lion share of the possession?
U ought to know the answer to this question. Kante and Kovacic both don't carry much goal threat so unlocking parked defences would be an herculean task

Ibime:


Tomori can't recover quick enough. Chris no be am abeg

Inconsistency seems his main problem now
If he can perform like he did against City 80% of the time, e for no be like this

timbros:
Haba....

Wetin be all this thing wey I dey read about Jorginho here? How many back passes una don see here?

Haba... See Midfield control.

The true strength of a midfielder is not when he is given too much space to operate wait make they begin press am from back.

Unlimited22:

I prefer Valencia's Diego Carlos

What are his defensive attributes?

Make we go support Arse-nal

Ibime:
Christensen and Abraham are fowls

Complete one.

We were really lucky to have won today but good performance sha.

Christensen almost cost us the match, he cannot resist the urge to masturbate. The second goal was his fault ball watcher oshi.

I will be here when backpassginho cost us top four. He came on did nothing special yet he is getting praise of people that played 90 mins.rlc and Abraham that were involved in goals nobody praised them.
back pass master that contributed only sideway passes is getting praises I laugh in Greek.

I trust lampard sha he will dear not start that overhyped back pass master

timbros:
Ibime you need to apologise to Jorginho.

I don't care who the opponent is. Big team small team. I don't care. You just need to apologise to Jorginho.

Please can you tell me what meaningful thing backpassginho contributed to the game

Ibime:


Did you see how Christensen was sleeping, oblivious to Benteke?

From the intial header around 71mins I knew the guy has already bleeped up.

Its all about game set up. J5 entered we went straight into Sarri ball. Palace no see ball again. Our players no kuku attack again. Na possession and passing sideways. Its good whennu want to calm your lead. Not when you are desperately looking to score goals..

I don't care how una wan change this narrative.

Billy Gilmour started the match and we all saw how it went till Jorginho came in. All those una analysis won't change the fact that Jorg came in and stabilised the midfield.

EoD.

timbros:


Guy you miss pure tensed up finale to a football match!

The kind speed Wifey rush enter room to check what is wrong with me I was streaming with my tab.

Me I just jejely drive home when the rain still dey fall. I didn't meet any hold up.

Church runs no let me go before that nonsense rain. Spent almost 1 hour at Eastern bye pass.

The commentators try sha but can never be compared to seeing the game live. I'm glad we got the 3 points.

Ibime:

Corrected . Abraham had a goal

Type well first then we can have a discussion.

Only one sentence I heard on top of the mountain “No legend watch his team shivers”

The only wise quote I have seen all through the game. Backpassginho influenced nothing but sideway passes. Abraham and rlc that influence game are not getting any praises. Instead they are being crucified for scoring.

Yeah.

U ought to know the answer to this question. Kante and Kovacic both don't carry much goal threat so unlocking parked defences would be an herculean task

kante and kovacic can move the ball quickly On thier own from the mildfield to the final third which is very important.

Jorginho has the eyes. If players make good runs, he can make those quick passes that leads to goal.

Is not like the ones who played today and other days have goal threats

timbros:


Why would anyone run at him when he positions himself well to receive a pass and turn very well. No one will dare try that cuz the timing will be all shades of wrong.

I don't argue "if" in football. What if Abraham connected that shot that nearly went to throw in well? What if Willian scored that delightful pass from Pulisic? What if Kepa saved that Zaha goal? Will we have this nervy ending?

I don't argue "if" in football.

No one will run at him cos it's last 10 mins and we are defending a lead that's why we are sat deep.

That time of the match, while defending a lead is the time you bring an older player who hogs possession to keep the ball with low risk. I'm sure you remember Slanisla Jovanovic who Ranieri used to use for those situations.

I don't know why you will be shouting Uhuru for that. Let's say he was playing from the start and Chelsea are attacking, won't he be on the halfway line where someone could turn him to escort on counterattack.

I was around Police Headquarters in Moscow Road when the rain start. Na so I enter road drive home jejely. I know that anything wey keep me there till the rain finish, na traffic jam. I just carry the rain go.

I hate following a football match on radio. Na the worst torture be that.

That uppercut enter...

Ibime:


Zouma does not need to make that tackle if Chris does his basic job. Did you see Chris there? The nigga had zero awareness Benteke was behind. Benteke did not even need to make a run.

Now this is you without your bias lens .

Nice accurate observation.

Ibime:


Did you see how Christensen was sleeping, oblivious to Benteke?

Even the second goal, my man went to bed.

the true strength of a dm is not holding ball on your leg doing agidigba till they collect it to score too

Ermmm tbh, Jorginho might just be a better sub.

Lampard almost ruin the game by playing Gilmour up to that mins..


Our midfield were dead and needed stabilizing.


He should swallow his pride and settle whatever rift with Jorginho.

@bokded I remember him very well.

Fact is Gilmour was shaky in that base from minute one. When Jorginho came in, he hardly played a back pass. Even the Commentators acknowledged his complete transformation of the game.

You know Jorginho has the eye for passes. He spread the passes very well, not just hogging possession.

You need to apologise to him.

Amoto94:

What are his defensive attributes?

Solid in the air and In the tackle. Good positioning sense. No nonsense. Can be a tad rash but he's first and foremost a defender, like Zouma.

My favorite option tho is Benfica star Ruben Dias. At just 23 he's already a leader, has fantastic passing range but is also a brilliant defender.

Earlier this season, Kante looked clueless in some games when he played higher up the field.

A midfield of Jorg-Kante-Kova against small teams will be all possession and no bite...

Sulele04:

What meaningful thing did jorginho contribute to the game.

He controlled the tempo of the game. He hardly made back passes as is being touted here. Pulisic and Willian benefitted from his passes.
