Class ball-winner, midtable ball-player.

Kante is typically the kind of player who is good at what he does, although, what he does is pretty limited.

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. If not, Europe is gonna be a drag.

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.

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...

Excellent performance, cover so many ground. Alonso is the motm but Kante was  excellent as well

[Pizy 18,419]

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.

[King11Didier 916]

Amazing display from him today, was all over the place as usual

[Last Sicarius 610]

I think that was his best performance in our club. Monster and he is keep running  

[robsblubot 3,530]

Back to normal (beast mode) against poor spurs... 

[Thor 2,435]

People complain about his passing, but his short game is absolutely superb. Has an excellent touch. I don't know what some people are watching. 

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

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 1,494]

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.
