Claudius think part of the issue with Jorginho is just an availability thing. Even when he’s played a good game he’s often sat. You can see that Mikel is handling players very differently based on what their
It's one thing to keep Jorginho fresh and fit resting him early in games and not playing him midweek etc, but he had only started against City, Chelsea and Newcastle in the first half of the season getting 5-10 minutes here and there. So he's obviously important enough for us to play him in the big games which he's excelled at, we just thought this midfield experiement would eventually turn out better than it did.
Lets face it, the plan at the start of the season the plan was to have a midfield of Rice, Havertz and Odegaard, otherwise he'd have started about the ssme number of games as he's been doing since the Dubai trip. It's not just Arteta either, a lot of people were calling for thay midefield saying Rice can do whatever Partey does and that he'd be wasted in the 8 and that we need a Havertz in the 8 instead to give us more goals and assists.
