He might not have done anything flashy the other day but believe me, he done his job very well. Just sit back and ponder the thought of Bakayoko in his position the other day vs Newcastle. He would have probably given Newcastle at least 10 opportunities to counter us. Kovacic kept his range perfectly to keep the ball rolling and to pounce when we lost the ball to regain ball retention. He is going to be a big, big player for us this season. Having Kante and Kovacic next to Jorginho leaves me feeling less nervous when Jorginho loses the ball because we have the legs to regain possession. Notice how Fabregas hasn't featured yet and I really doubt he will in the PL. Think we will use Cesc in the slower paced European games on a Thursday night thus allowing for Kovacic and Kante/Jorginho to recover. It's too early for me to judge Barkley. I truly feel there is a player in Barkley but it is definitely too early to Judge.
