# Chelsea: Fans not impressed with Jorginho following yellow card in Leicester City draw

**Loads of Chelsea fans were not impressed with Jorginho’s performance in their side’s 2-2 draw with Leicester City on Saturday.**

While Antonio Rudiger proved to be the hero on the day for the Blues, scoring both goals including the all-important equaliser, Jorginho was the villain for some. The Italy international picked up his [ninth](https://www.premierleague.com/players/5682/Jorginho/stats?co=1&se=274) yellow card of the season just before the hour mark for a foul on James Maddison, prompting criticism.

Several supporters were quick to call for Mateo Kovacic to be brought on, a substitution Frank Lampard eventually made and one that did bear some fruit. The 25-year-old was able to register a 100% pass success rate during his time on the pitch ([via WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376129/Live/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Leicester-Chelsea)) as he provided Chelsea with a composed presence in the centre.

His pass success rate was vastly superior to Jorginho’s (82%), albeit he made less passes than his team-mate. Whatever the case, Jorginho’s latest outing was one that underwhelmed. Just take a look at what fans had to say below…

> Jorginho is to slow to play in that position.11 yellows already this season.

> Jorginho is rubbish. One of the slowest players I’ve ever seen and to say he’s a CDM he offers nothing defensively
