Lush Vlad Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Seriously, though. So much of that is just simply him recycling the ball. But it’s hypnotic. He is the best in our team for coming back from the wrong side of the ball. But still nicking it without fouling the player. I know it’s a highlight reel. So you can always make players look good or bad in isolation. But I found it strange that were some really positive bits from the Chelsea away game. I remember him being anonymous and having a bad game. Similar for Everton. Thought he was meh like everyone was on the day. But half that video seemed to be from Goodison Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t this what Emanuel Petit said about Kante before one of the world cups? It’s a good quote but let’s save a banner for an original of our maestro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 He's definitely one of those players that makes everything that they do look simple and obvious. I'm noticing it now because I can't ever remember a time when we've had it to this level but I never want to take it for granted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a better comparison than the Pirlo/Gattuso ones that were bounded about when he first signed. If Tonali can have the kind of career and longevity that he had, he'll do well.

I still think it’s a bit odd to have a well known saying Emanuel Petit made about Kante stolen and reclaimed for Tonali. Don’t we want our own original phrase? https://talksport.com/football/895487/ngolo-kante-song-france-chelsea-emmanuel-petit/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the consensus is that that's well-known, fair enough. Personally I've never heard that said before. If we go back far enough, maybe someone said it about someone else before Kante, these things go round in cycles. There's only so many words and so many orders to put them in, very little is truly original. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So professional and his lower level is usually quite high. On top on everything else he does great I mean. Italian tactical consistency and just class.
