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.

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 18,877]

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

And? He is the type of midfielder that has to be compared to likes of Matic, Casemiro,...he might be b2b but thats solely because he is quite quick, dynamic, great runner and has good ball control. But first and foremost he is ball winner. 

Can people stop making Kante something he is not. Last season, he has been fantastic and thats why he also won poty of the year, a reward that almost never goes to such type of midfielder. And competition was fairly strong with Eden, Kane, Coutinho, Alexis...

It speaks volumes of how great he is doing his job. 

But I guess until he will score screamers, dribble like Messi and pass like Xavi, people will always complain.
