Verratti wey no start many games or was one of the first to be subbed out is the one doing the job from the bench?

Verratti that played just 1 full game till the end at the Euros is the one doing the job?
Verrati topped Jorginho in all performance index at the Euros. If they ask you people what Jorginho was doing in that Italian midfield, you will say nothing other than passes. Billy Gilmour at his age can make those passes too, there's nothing special about Jorginho.

Tammy goes off to a standing ovation from AS Roma fans. He worked tirelessly, ran himself to the ground but has two assists to show for it. Should have scored but his header hit the crossbar. Great debut.

He did really well in the Championship too.

Wait do you actually rate Jorginho? For you to make comment defending a Chelsea player.

If they ask you why Verratti couldn't make the TOTT same way Jorgi did or who was doing the 'Midfield job' in majority of the games Verratti was subbed off you will run away grin


Because Verratti didn't play the group stage.

Those who made that observation aren't stupid

While Jorginho was being overwhelmed and hiding from the ball against Spain and could only make 33 passes in 120 minutes (disgusting), Verratti was the only one showing for the ball and made virtually the same number of passes in 70 minutes.

Verratti was subbed because he returned from injury in that tournament and didn't have 90 mins or 120 minutes in him, while Italy have an equally competent midfielder on the bench in Locatelli to carry the fake hiding playmaker Jorgiboy along

Jorginho I watched yesterday had an OK game Kovacic was the one that getting caught out of position way too many times, sometimes I wonder whether we are watching different game whenever I looked at the criticism leveled at some players. Confirmation bias is a big thing among fans

Kovacic getting caught out of position is no news, i no understand am, if they had scored us, he would have been caught ball watching.
Any midfielder we sign won't be 4th choice but 3rd choice.

I think most people comment based on agenda here, and Kovacic isn't worth having an agenda on. Plus we won, so nothing serious.

Kovacic improved his passing a bit though, compared to last season.

Who brainwashed you to shout Oh no at the thought of Jorginho manning your midfield. Give people credit. Some people can't watch a player for 3 years and change their mind like the wind just because the team found a way to protect him.

When I said you passionately hated him, you said it was only football related.
Your posts shows your life is not complete if you don't refer to him.
Willian is with another club and has moved on, how about you do the same?

Holla at me if you need help.
Abeg, how many times have I mentioned Willian in the past two months? I no get energy to hate anybody. I was an avid Willian fan from 2013 to 2017. He just didn't give what was expected.


And I won't stop trolling him cool

Let's not act like Serie A as a whole is not on par with the Championship.

Let's not forget Giroud also moved to Italy this summer, and it looks like he might be a starter at AC Milan. He even scored a brace for them in their friendly last weekend.

Imagine 35 year Giroud starting for the club that gave us back to back hits like Sheva, Inzaghi, Kaka, Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo, Nesta, Maldini, Cafu and Dida.

Talk about lost glory. From grace to gravel. If Tammy likes he should score one million goals there, I'm not impressed.

If you remove Juventus from that league, the top end of Serie A would be mid table in England, their midtable and below would be chilling in the championship. That's not even debatable.

Clubs like Salernitana, Spezia, and Venezia might even be in League 1

True. He's dynamic & utilise his opportunity but there are still room for improvement.
I'm tilted towards playing him in an advanced midfield position rather than the front 3.
I believe he's more creative than all our midfielders. He, alongside Kante are the only ones who can shoot from long & short ranges. Also, his energetic nature can be put to good use by allowing him to track back & chase opponents.
Its just my opinion.

Kante ke?

Ziyech is the only other player whom I think dares to shoot from range, and actually possesses a fair amount of accuracy.

Jorginho had a relatively bad game and the Wolves have started brandishing their fangs.

Even livescores analysts

This shouldn't have come from you. .........There is no point talking about wolves when you already admitted he had a below bar game. Now let's talk about jorginho not being special even before yesterday's game.Yes,I am saying it from the authority of one whose favourite player excelled from that same position as Jorginho. Andrea Pirlo like you all know is my all time favourite player and if you noticed well,he is more or less the same as Steve Nash who is also my favourite basketball player grin. Now you can see a pattern for certain kind of players. Players who make everyone around them so good,players who aren't afraid to take risks, players who opponents always want to close down and stop them from taking decisions but they usually force themselves despite pressure from opponents, players that you want to rewatch their highlights and ask yourself "omg! How did he do that"? players that make their markers look stupid,players who always form a telepathic connection with mostly their forward players. Players who stand their ground under pressure, those are special players not jorginho that basically does the basic thing that me myself and other basic midfielders can do,if fred dedicates himself to be finding de gea,Maguire and lindelof at the slightest provocation trust me he will seem as better player than jorginho because he has more energy than jorginho does have.

Jorginho had a terrible game, I was screaming the whole time. All these Balon D’or talk is nonsense. Verrati did the job for Italy in that midfield.

Jorginho contributes nothing to the team than passes, safe passes.

He lost many duels today that could have hurt us if Arsenal had any sensible attacker.


God bless you .........I like fans who are able to notice certain aspects of a player even when the team is winning. For some people once the team starts winning then every player is that good .
