    Jorginho will always have games or purple patches where he just controls everything and is always on the ball playing at his pace. He’s perfect when you’re 1 or 2-0 up and dominating possession.

    The reason some Arsenal fans (and Chelsea ones before that) are 50/50 on him is because his weaknesses are very obvious and it gets exploited when the game is end to end due to his non existent pace. He will get booked for tactical fouls very often, most games he won’t be able to make another challenge because he’s already been booked so players just go past him like he isn’t there.

    I really liked him when he was at Chelsea, he was very good way more often than he was bad but if we weren’t controlling the game he could be a liability sometimes.

      Because he isn’t a 6. He is a regista looking for the 3rd man, no look pass. CB > J20 >one touch ping it to a runner. His defensive issues were covered by Kante.

      tbh. if that man had an ounce of good genetics to be taller of faster he’d be a world beater.

      his weaknesses have nothing to do with his IQ of the game. just pure athleticism

        Yeah that’s basically the point I made. His football IQ is very high, he wouldn’t have made it to the top level if it wasn’t due to his lack of physical traits.

        I watched every minute of his Chelsea career, brilliant player in possession and when his team have the majority of the ball (which he plays a huge part in). Chasing games or in those intense end to end matches he can be a bit of a passenger.

        that man exists and his name is Enzo

          sincerely.

          enzo has less of an iq considerably.

          is also small and weak but quicker. not at all the answer to that hypothetical
