Page 4 - Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea: Hits and Flops

#2 Flop: Jorginho

Jorginho was barely given time on the ball

The Italian has hit the ground running since his summer move from Napoli. However, whenever Chelsea has struggled in the league, it has coincided with Jorginho being off-color.

And at the Emirates, it became painfully clear that Chelsea just aren’t the same force without the midfielder exerting his influence.

Arsenal arrived with a game plan to starve Jorginho of possession in midfield and executed it to perfection. Ramsey adroitly man-marked the Italian out of the game and made sure that Chelsea struggled to make the transition from defense to attack.

Though the midfielder racked up 81 passes, most of them were either sideways or backward, thus, completely ridding the team of attacking impetus.

The last time Chelsea arrived in North London, they were swept aside by Spurs with Jorginho having a poor game. And on Saturday, they arguably scaled greater depths with the Italian putting in his worst display of the campaign.
