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...
Thumbheed Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 14 hours ago, Kid Icarus said: 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. Reminds me of Speed in that sense.

SiLvOR Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Absolutely incredible shift. Epitomised by getting on the end of his own clearance by far my favourite player right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 On 15/01/2025 at 22:31, Ikon said: I like how focused he is all the time. He rarely looks sloppy. 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.

There's something so satisfying about seeing him take charge at times, sorting defensive walls and things like that. For someone that has appeared pretty timid off the pitch he seems to already be a massive voice for us on it which can only become more and more a good thing.

jack j Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Didn't think he was as good as what he has been lately? As poor as the rest but he's flavour of the month I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally dislike how other clubs’ fans and the media are trying to belittle Isak by comparing him to Henry. I don’t want to do the same with Tonali/Kante. As if Kante was playing 25 years ago lol! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he was below his recent performances is one thing and I’d tend to agree. But not a chance he was as bad as the rest. I thought he was the only positive performance from the game.

Ronson333 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The very first minute when Brookes done Hall on the touch line and swept the cross into an dangerous area in the middle…Man, the way he swept it up with elegance showed just how good he is.
