[Unionjack 7,531]

Another great game from the wee chuchie face. He just gets on with the game giving amazing performances and not one word about him or a well done!!

Heres a great article on him from back in the end of August. Worth a read.

The Sky Is The Limit For N’Golo Kante At Chelsea

His passing was awful against City in all honesty, especially in the first half but at least he had Cesc next to him though, the onus isn't on him to be creative but this has been a concern of mines for a few weeks now, can we rely on Kante and Matic to break teams down if nobody else is able to? Fair enough Matic has 6 assists this year but hardly a playmaker and it's the same with Kante.

West Brom up next, 10 men behind the ball... great stuff.

Out of 50 PL games he played, he only lost 4. 

Amazing stuff.

He's cursed against Arsenal tho.

Anyone see the wee man win that 50/50 against Kone the other night 😂 Sent him flying

[MefiX19 1,092]

If im not mistaken he will miss the game too, same as Costa. (If im wrong correct me)

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Big loss. Bournemouth will be a tough game, Cesc or whoever comes in for him will have to step up and do his fair share because they have a few half decent players in there and in all truth we've been effective rather than great this last couple of weeks.

Pardew believes Kante, a £32 million summer signing from Leicester City, played a key role in Chelsea’s latest win.

‘Kante in the midfield, he’s just such energy he had at Leicester last year, he’s bought that here,’ Pardew told Sky Sports.

‘He fills a lot of holes that go unnoticed.’

He fouled Cabaye, but referee played advantage and then booked Kante.

Shop ok I knew I missed something thanks

Nah fam, he's not getting away with that shitshow he put on today. 

There was a moment, I genuinely thought, we had Ramires back in midfield. 

The thing with Kante is, technically, he's very hit or miss. And if he's gonna be off with his touch/passing, he's simply gotta be more effective as that Ball Winning Midfielder in the team. He cannot be poor at both, like he was today, where he's losing nearly all his challenges on the ball. Dembele/Wanyama have out-done him twice this season.

And ok, fine, those players are his achilles heel, but on a larger note, Kante hasn't really been that effective for the past couple of games if we're being honest. His counter pressing, has been very poor lately, and that cannot continue if we are gonna continue with the Matic-Kante partnership. All the chance creation from deep cannot lie on Matic, Kante has to put the team in positions to quickly counter-attack via his Ball Winning in midfield.

His passing was atrocious today. His worse game for us by a country mile.

just need a better partner to Kante. 

Matic was a good shoe in like Moses, but we need better then these two.

Yes we need another CM, But that doesn't excuse Kante's poor performances of late.

 

[positivefootball 195]

Good runner. Poor brain and passing.

[Unionjack 7,531]

We have been needing a ball playing CM with defensive skills all season to pllay alongside N'Golo we knew that already..

Good ones are all tucked away by their clubs tho and very thin on the ground.

Our only hope is to pay up for one. Or get Dr Frankenstein to work on Cescy.
