Former Liverpool manager and Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness has questioned the quality of the Chelsea midfield.

The Blues had to endure some scares as they overcame Lille 2-1 in the Champions League to move into the last 16 of the competition.

And speaking after the match, Souness was critical of Jorginho and Matteo Kovacic in particular.

"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."
