Yeah lol? He is probably the most hyped player now and ever-present in our team 

and he doesn't seem the bloke who seeks praise and accolades. Perhaps we should have a whip round and upgrade his car to a Mini Cooper

Can't we get a kitty going to keep someone on call to put a hit on these sods? All they do is cause grief and destruction. Shouldn't cost much.

Probably the second worst thing about the game after TV scheduling

Barton is right. Kante has not been the best player in the PL this season, ridiculous how people think he is.

Barton is just building up his portfolio of outspoken quotes in hopes to become a two-bit pundit like Robbie Savage. This coming from a guy who attempted to stamp a non-league player, gets accidently hit instead and goes down light like a feather.

Kante's probably not the best player this season on a whole, but he's been consistently performing at high level for a team at top of the league. He's definitely ONE of the best players if there's a shortlist for it.

Easily worst performance from Kante this season. Worst player on the pitch.

Didnt see Costa, Matic or Pedro then?

I thought either Pedro or Matic took the cake. Pedro started things off by playing out to Matic which caused the Zaha goal.

Matic was caught out of position too often when Palace were counter-attacking but Luiz didn't cover himself in glory either.

Kante was essentially a spare man in attack but he did keep things ticking when we transitioned to attack.

What did he exactly to wrong today ?

He didn't get a goal or assist. He also couldn't multiply himself quickly enough to cover up for inept players when Palace counter-attacked.

Perhaps, but he isn't number 1. In my opinion Hazard, Courtois and Costa (due to his first half of the season where he was almost unplayable) have been better for us. 

He's quite useless in games like today tbh.

He is quality but I agree with Barton in sense that he is overrated. He is brilliant, yes but I agree with Barton that he is not the best CM in the world. He does not possess enough technical qualities. IMO, Luiz has been as good if not better as a whole this season but he gets no way near same praise from the media. There has been a lot of games this season where he has not stood out and I picked it out on another forum that while he has been brilliant, he is not Mr.standout every game as everyone makes out. That is why if anyone asks me who is the best CM around, I don't say Kante because I feel he is the best at what he does but not the best CM because I don't think he has the other technical skills to make him standout.
