Having just watched the Chelsea Arsenal game back on TV, it seems to me that Chelsea's woeful defending was down to having Kante too far forward to be effective in defence, and Jorginho being crap at defending. My pet hate is defenders turning their back on a ball coming in, the sort of thing we'd have got a b*ll*cking for at Sunday League level. Jorginho turned his back for the first goal, where if he'd stood up big he'd have been able to get a block on the shot, and he turned his back again for the cross that led to the second.
Don't get me wrong, there was a lot else wrong with our defending, but we sorted it out at the start of the second half by playing Kante deeper and then by bringing Kovacic on. On first showing Kovacic looks like a good all rounder like Kante, both with the ability to go forward, defend and find a pass. Those two playing in tandem together, taking it in turns to go forward while the other drops back, leaving gorgeous Jorge free to exploit any space - could be very interesting. We just need someone to stick the ball in the net!
