100%. It’s ridiculous. I feel like people don’t even watch the games.
They just parrot “Jorginho needs to progress the ball through the middle”.
As you said, he did it fine, Zinchenko and Odegaard were horrendous and almost always lost it immediately after.
And when they weren’t losing the ball, we often vacated the entire middle of the pitch and tried to exploit the wings, we just didn’t do it well enough.
I want someone to go through the film and point out just 3 instances of there being a pass available through the middle and Jorginho turning it down. They won’t be able to find it.
