Jorginho: Gorgeous Jorg

[BigPoppaPump]

It is in today's game.

Kyle Walker just turned 34 and he's the oldest regular starter on a big 6 club.

Very few guys past age 31 or 32 are currently still able to perform as regular starters with big clubs, especially in the PL with the level of pace required relative to Italy or whatever.

(and I thought Jorginho did very well last weekend, for the record)

The game has shifted *a lot* younger over the past 10 or 20 years.

That’s not true, all the top teams have regular starters in their 30s. If anything players last longer in todays game.

Can we say he redeemed himself for the 2-2 disaster in WHL last season?

I would say he redeemed himself after that by generally playing well and getting MOTM against Liverpool

Oh boy, this guy is so done. This was a good lesson yesterday not to trust him as the last man on our corner kicks

Jorginho v Bolton 2024, the Grand-Godfather...

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I love Jorginho, such a clever player.

He's not done physically, he covered more ground than anyone against Sp**s, he just has no pace, never has.

He will get exposed if he's left one on one on a break, that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Probably one of the best we have to ping long passes around.

He is, and he's smart. But dear Lord, he's lacking speed and athletic ability so much.

Sure but as you say he is one of the most intelligent players.



Loads of top players didn't have pace & weren't athletes.
Jorgi is a very good squad player.

The only major issue is if you leave him as last man (which you shouldn't) you are gonna get exposed.

Definitely a top pro to have around.

Exactly. The situation yesterday would have byen the same if he was 25.

Tbh I looked over to see some guy getting pasted for pace by some plumber and when I saw Jorginho on the shirt I was like oh fvck even I'm quicker than this guy. Lucky he's so good on the ball because in those sorts of situations he's horrible.

 

[Riou]

Jorginho may not have played in a while...

...least we now know his time is being spent very constructively!

 

[Riou]

Him getting subbed on and immediately dropping Bruno in revenge for the elbow on him last season, was the only good thing today.

Still our best allround and most likable CM, imo.

If he was younger and more robust/athletic, he would be so good in this set-up

He's an elite passer from deep, and unlike Partey he's better defensively (feel he's very underrated on that side of the game) very sneaky of the ball, knows the little dark arts in that role very well.

Not surprised our best football last season was when he came into the team, shame we got him when he's aging.

when he was younger his price was too expensive for our finance department team, I am surprised Chelsea lets him go cheap

 

[Gooner Zig]

He should be playing games especially with Ødegaard out. Hope he starts vs Inter in the CL.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

The only player who made a good through pass to White yesterday in 90th minute.
And White lost the ball immediately.

Going back soon to watch Declan Rice trip over his own feet in midfield, after that 45 minute masterclass from the Italian Don...

 

[Batman]

Was really great today despite being inhibited by the comical yellow the joke ref gave him.
