Chelsea midfielders Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho have been described as "five-a-side players" by Liverpool veteran Graeme Souness.
"I think the midfield is lacking," Souness told Virgin Media Sport. "I like Kante, we speak about him every time we see him about how good he is. But I think Kovacic and Jorginho border on five-a-side players.
"If I'm a midfielder and I'm in the tunnel with Kovacic and Jorginho as my opponents, I'm licking my lips. I'd want to play against them.
"I wouldn't want to play against Kante. I'd want to play against them."

Whoever said Graeme is right, you are wrong! Jorginho might lack assists and goals, but he reinforces those passes that might lead to a goal or a team play! And kovacic? I guarantee u wouldn’t get the ball from him, nobody cares about the goals that he scores, he is winning balls in the area we need it most and he is doing a phenomenal job? And five-a-side? Graeme, play against them, and you will see what will happen to you. Stop speaking rubbish and speak true for once!

Right, Kovacic is a ball hug and Jorginho knows how to disappear when the going gets tough. The two players are shittiest when we lose the ball. Poor marking ability, kante can't do everything. Matic n drinkwater were they to help when his team loses the ball in Leicester City n last two years.

Past players who this attitude of know it all, they are not only 5-a-side players they are 2-a-side kind of player. That's the aftermath effect of taking Jamaican marijuana

none of your problem Souness. We are happy with them. If we get Milinkovic Savic in front of them, they'll be magnificent.

Kante is a Beast but Jorginho and Kovacic are similar that's why we need a player Left footed in this Chelsea midfield like James Rodriguez to have a ruthless attack and link up play
