Pundit urges Sarri to drop Jorginho

beIN SPORTS pundit Andy Gray has urged Chelsea manager to drop midfielder Jorginho, according to a report on the Mirror.

The former Napoli man has become the new pass master in the Premier League but his inability to provide goals or assists has been noticed by many fans and pundits.

Jorginho plays as the deepest midfielder in the Chelsea team and his job is to simply link the play between the defence and midfield.

However, Gray believes that Chelsea need to try something different to get the desired results and wants Sarri to sacrifice his favourite player.

Gray said:

Everything surrounds him [Jorginho] at times and I think Chelsea have got to be careful that they don’t put all their footballing eggs in one basket and depend on him to that extent in their creativity because teams will do what they’re doing to them.

They’re going to have to sit down and say ‘do you know what, I’m going to take you out the team’, even out of the training, just doing some sessions without Jorginho in the side.

Do a few sessions at the training ground, keep Jorginho out of it and we’re going to build up a little differently so when he’s not involved in the game, we know we’ve got other options to do.

And I think they’ll probably do that, I’d be amazed if they did not.

Most of the time, Chelsea’s build-up play comes from the Italian midfielder and opposition teams have noticed and play to keep him out of the game as much as possible.
