N'Golo Kante

Dont really offer much in this type of games when we have 70% possession. If Kova was fit I am sure TT would start him but still RLC should have started here. Not a coincidence we scored all 3 goals after subs.

Yep. I remember I was having a debate with @Azul and he found it laughable that I said Jorginho was more important than Kante to this team. Well I wasn't just referring to Jorginho. I was saying that majority of games, we don't need Kante due to our possession dominance and hence why Jorginho is a much more important player as everything comes through him. Kante is a brilliant player, but with these fixtures we have recently and coming up, there are games where I would say he is not a loss if he is not in the team.

He was an attacking Midfielder/playmaker as a youth.

kinda like Mikel before he joined us

Played just 1/3 of all minutes this season. Him and Kovacic are big miss. All these shit results came without them.

10 days ago apart from Saul I had zero complains about any GK, defender or midfielder. Attacking players were the only problem.

Now when CHO started playing great, Ziyech is delivering constantly and Mount woke up we have many players who turned into shit... From Mendy to Jorginho... Why cant our defense-offense ever be in sync?

Think his best days are behind him, should look at Tchouameni and try to get him.

Gallagher. 

[Beigl 1,387]

He clearly lost his engine. Reminds me of Essien in 2010/11 when you just knew he was finished. I think we should sell him this summer or keep him as a rotation player until 2023.

Gallagher. 

he is many things, but he is not a defensive destroyer

Nicolò Barella (closest thing to Kante out there)    
Jude Bellingham   (not really a DMF type but can be extremely disruptive)
Declan Rice   (too expensive)
Aurélien Tchouaméni 
Kalvin Phillips 
Rúben Neves  
Ryan Gravenberch    (see Bellingham)
Douglas Luiz
André Zambo Anguissa  
Ismaël Bennacer  
Renato Sanches 
Yves Bissouma 
Boubacar Kamara 
Weston McKennie   
Danilo    (Palmeiras) played extremely well versus us

Not really the same type as Kante, if anything Gallagher is like Mount.

[robsblubot 3,544]

Think it's a bit premature.... understatement! 

He's 30 and I expect his performances to fluctuate a bit more, but let's not forget his back-to-back MotM performances in CL last season. Older players tend to take a bit longer to get going, but I expect him to still regain his best form this season.

Unless he's on the, or looking to, move...
