I don't think we would of won the league last year with fab and matic in the middle. And the bit where you said I said something silly?? I invite u to go and read every post u have ever posted your are the most negative Chelsea fan on this forum. Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Are some of you realy discussing Kante quality again? Im wondering when will you guys ever appreciate our player when he is not having the very best game of his life, because as soon someone has average or decent game, he can be easily replacable apparently because he is nothing special?? We should all appreciate the players we have as long we have them because often only once they are gone, people realise what we had. And no, the board wont throw 90m for a new midfielder after. yuvala and Amblève. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he wins possession at times is nothing short of amazing. Sometimes I scratch my head thinking where the hell did he come from. And the timing and technique of his challenges are top-notch. But outside of that, mehh... I hope he proves to be as effective off the ball in the CL. And I hope the excitement of most Chelsea fans regarding Bakayoko turns out to be justified.

The plan usually is to make up for any lack of creativity in midfield with Hazard's ability. Similar to how we used to make up for it with Drogba's presence.

That in itself is not an issue to have a specialist in something (think Maka, nothing special on the ball), but for the team to fully benefit from his specialties he needs to have class ball-players around him. If we do not or when we're having a bad game in possession, his limitations will show more than it should, and it's not his fault. Luckily we do have good ball-players and we saw last season how effective we can be with this model, unfortunately currently the squad is just depleted.

King11Didier 916 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The problem is that it expected from him to do all the work in mid. He is impressive player indeed, but puting someone like Cesc next to him in that formation is basically letting all the work to Kante. I just don't want to imagine the team without him, can't wait to see Bakayoko next to him. If Chelsea had actually a board who are using their heads, there would have been already someone next to him and Kante and the whole team would be playing better.

If the games against Spurs are anything to go by, I — sadly — do not think it will be the case. When the pace of the game is of high intensity, whether it is through technic or physicality, he seems unable to cope with it. That being said it is a sample too restricted to draw a conclusion. Regardless, I do hope that Bakayoko will add a strong physical presence into the midfield ; as we do not have any playmaker, we need some muscles to bypass this weakness ! P.S. That being said, I am more worried about our attacking play than our defensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Pizy 18,913 Posted August 20, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted August 20, 2017 He was a monster today. Also surprising that he got forward so much against a top opponent and looked good doing so. The confidence of having both Baka and David Luiz around him.

Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 His touch is almost world class, as is his close control. Even his passing is very tidy which is the most you can expect of player in his role. His long range cross field passed are always on point aswell.

Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Kante is and probably will be for years to come,the least of our problems. I was thinking who in recent times would be his best CM partner and I`d go with Ballack. Supermonkey92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
