Ex-Chelsea striker Cascarino: Jorginho looks like five-a-side player

Ex-Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino thinks Jorginho has been underwhelming since joining the club in the summer.

The defensive midfielder has not registered an assist and scored his only goal in the opening game of the season.

Speaking on talkSPORT, the former Blues striker said: "Jorginho has become a bit of a scapegoat.

"The atmosphere towards him at Stamford Bridge, the finger is pointed at him and I feel sorry for him because it's not just him.

"But he was bought for a lot of money and other clubs wanted him.

"But I look at him and I just think, 'wow, you look like a five-a-side player!'

"He's light, he's got a great touch and moves it around, but any team that smothers him, gets onto him and press him, Chelsea really do struggle then to get the ball to any position and look like a dangerous side."
