Gabby Agbonlahor slammed Chelsea midfielder Jorginho for his horror show in the defeat to West Ham United over the weekend.
Thomas Tuchel’s men suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of their arch city rivals in a major setback to the title hopes for the Blues who now sit third in the league table behind Manchester City and Liverpool.
Midfield man Jorginho, who was a standout performer for the Blues last season during the Champions League glory run, has endured a patchy form of late in his displays while commanding the centre of the park.
An error-prone showing in the draw against Manchester United was followed up by another poor performance from the Italian in the defeat to West Ham over the weekend with his misplaced pass playing a part in West Ham’s first-half penalty.
Former Aston Villa man Gabby Agbonlahor while speaking to TalkSport was critical in his assessment for Jorginho’s recent run of form with Agbonlahor even questioning the Chelsea man’s third-place finish in the Ballon d’Or rankings.
“Jorginho, I don’t know how he could be in the Ballon d’Or running. He gave away that goal and it’s just his complacency.
“Chelsea have got a bit comfortable in the way they’ve been playing.
“To just receive the ball where he did, short pass to Mendy and put the goalkeeper in trouble and then Mendy will get the blame.
“Jorginho was also at fault for the Sancho goal at Manchester United, I think he’s getting a bit too complacent back there.”
