No one is too good for him. No one. He's not infallible but if he's having a decent game and he's coming for you he's fucking getting it. And as a supposed defensive midfielder too his passing and vision can be mint. And his forward runs. One of my favourite PL players in the past 5 years. Aye, he's incredible. Was Leicesters best player when they won the league. He was fucking everywhere in some of those games, just breaking up attacks everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Chelsea unlucky. Rain came down and they lost their rhythm as were looking likely to add an early 2nd. Should’ve had a penalty 2nd half. Surprised no one mentioned it. The kind surely VAR was designed for. Tie far from over though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a few players you could say that about in that team too mind. I think take any one of Kante, Vardy and Mahrez out that team and they dont quite win it I dont think.

He was unreal in Conte's Chelsea as well the season following. Two titles on the bounce with different sides. Might be the only player to do that in the PL era?

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Obviously dont watch much of Chelsea but am I right in remembering Lampard not playing him as much when he took the job? Or was he injured at times? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Sarri used to play him attacking mid against relegation fodder and even though Kante is fantastic he's not good enough technically to play in that position against those types of teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Kante (and Perhaps Nezema) were the two players on the pitch who were "world class" last night. Kante did everything, stealing, pressuring, cutting off pass lines and his attacking intent was awsome, he was involved in 90% of the decent chelsea attacks. Benzema´s movement off the ball was unbelievable, I don´t think he was dispossessed at any time. Had a fizzer come off the post and buried a quarter chance at best. Unreal! Timo werner is like our own Joe, how the hell is he worth 40 mill? His off the ball work is horrible, on numerous chelsea attcks he should have gone wide (draw defender) or diagonally inside (bunch defenders and leave space on outside) and he did neither. In the second half you could see the other atttackers unwilling to give him the ball (with reason). Enjoyed it, and hope Madrid get stuffed becuase their "mr burns" president is the wart on the beautiful face of football... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante has the pace and energy to get back to a defensive position if they do bypass him as well. Very different to playing him as an attacking midfielder with the intent of him actually creating and scoring goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
