One shining light on a night of pure annoyance and frustration.

Absolute elite player, would walk in any side in the world and push out even the best of the best midfield generals.

 

Steady on bruv i got called and "idiot" and "having my bubble burst" by daring to believe that N'golo and Dave are world class.

But I did believe it and still do, both players imo are indispensable.

Who called you that? They are world class. If they aren't, then who is? Only Messi and Ronaldo?

one time i have to go with Mourinho, a team of 11 daves and kantes would win everything, talent and attitude wise unbelievable. Especially since Kante even improved since joining us which I did not believe was in his locker but now he has drastically improved his long range passing among others.

I forget, particularly the one that called me an idiot, i'd like to meet the cunt so he can tell me to my face.

But I wasn't even comparing them to Messi or Ronaldo.

I was referring to their respective positions, there's no one in the world that I would have instead of N'golo and Dave.

Just for the doubters i'm referring to defensive midfield, and right back, right center back, the both of them there's nobody i'd rather have.

Why do you seem surprised? If you look some pages back, there have been several posts saying how limited Kante is as a player, thus not belonging to the world class bracket. I remember that because i was laughing at how shortsighted people can be.  Of course now everyone joins in the hype and saying how much they love him, but you know how that goes.

I don't get it, limited. Kante is world class at what he does, so is Messi as comparison. Ask Messi to do Kante's work, he becomes the worst player on the pitch. Ask Kante to play creative attacker and he becomes an eyesore. Ergo both have limitations at what they can do. Being limited does not equal not being world class or however you want to call, in the end it means among the best in the world. Like if he is among top 10 in all top leagues in his position, it is 'world class'. Somewhy it seems only attackers escape extra responsibilities and get branded the best by simply scoring goals, doesn't matter if they can't or don't want to do other work for the team (Ronaldo? Özil?). But when a defender or defensive mid has limitations going forward, they are disregarded by some. Those who don't agree, I challenge them to name 10 players better in Kante's role, go! Or if you get stuck, name 5. I personally would struggle naming even 1 since last season when he wasn't even that good with the ball yet.

Ian Wright has claimed that Chelsea FC midfielder N’Golo Kante doesn’t get enough credit for his skill.

Picture Kante in midfield with lampard and makelele he would be even better

Nah Kante and Maka is overkill, we need some POWAH! Lampard, Essien, Kante would be the best, unstoppable.

I was thinking the the same, awesome.

But how would we accommodate the 3 of 'em in 3-4-3?

Lol, fuck 3-4-3. We play this formation only because our mf sucks balls. Classic 4-3-3 so Lampard can wreak havoc. With this midfield we can play 2-3-5 if we wanted to.

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

Assuming Conte was still here it would have to be 3-5-2 he's to rigid in his formations.

Jusut gonna fantasise about who we could match them with, but from our current squad.

[Superblue 6,372]

It makes you appreciate that we once had Makelele, Essien, Lampard, Ballack and Mikel all at the same time.

Kante would have slotted seamlessly into that group.

love him, top top top professional, legend in the making, just give him a lifetime contract.

[Johnnyeye 7,445]

been reading some of the posts about Kante slotting into our old guard team, its a no brainer for me.

im going with a 4-3-3

                    Cech

Azpi      Terry    Ivanovic    A.Cole

                   Kante

         Essien        Lampard

Robben                           Hazard

                    Drogba

i would go like this, at least on paper its a sick team with plenty of goals in it and very solid at the back and in the middle. Cheers

If that was Hazard or Courtois, they would add at the end “but in football anything can happen” or “My heart is in Madrid”

I'd put either Ricky or god forbid Gallas that's before he went boss eyed, instead of Vano.

Ace team if you change Carvalho for Ivan. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think I would prefer prime Ivan over Azpi at RB. Azpi hasn't really played RB for us, he has excelled mainly at LB and RCB.
