He seems to be getting over that mental block he's been experiencing, he's looked really good since the restart. Top top performance. If only we had a VVDesque CB to complement him...

Kante in front of any back 2 improves them enormously, gives them confidence. We have to keep Kante there. Gilmour needs to play that pass to Pedro was sublime - like his second touch of the ball or something. The guy is class. thank you for seeing this CB's dont exist on an island, if they do (like lower squads often end up with) we would have SHREDDED against shitty watch how bottled up De Bruyne was he almost never got to do his patented 'charge of the light brigade' down the middle as Kante had blocked him off and/or cut down his angles AC and Rudiger never really had to do desperation lunge-from behind tackles it's a team game The Skipper, Atomiswave, 1chelsea and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmour needs to play that pass to Pedro was sublime - like his second touch of the ball or something. The guy is class. Kanté's getting older too - makes sense to have him shielding the back four now. Feels like we have two complete opposites as DM options atm - Jorginho is super comfortable on the ball but lacks that defensive nouse and athleticism to disrupt play in front of the back four, whereas N'Golo's strength lies in the latter, and whereas he isn't anywhere near as bad as Jorginho is off the ball on the ball, he's not so comfortable with dictating from deep, but that's fine. He still held his own quite well even against one of the best ball winning teams in the world (yes I believe City are incredible at winning the ball and keeping it, hence why they have so much possession). As long as Kanté has options beside him that can relief the pressure on him (Gilmour would be a very interesting partner for him, Kovacic too in different yet similar ways), Kanté can continue to grow in that single holding role. It's where his future lies imo. The more he plays there the more comfortable he'd be too. Super exciting times next season - so many options for Lamps in midfield and going forward. Just need to sort out that defence now! Vesper and Muzchap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 It's funny how the players can look good/better when they actually play with concentration, focus and discipline. It was only last Sunday that we looked like a bunch of clowns, notably defensively, against a side in the relegation zone.

If we use him in that holding role, because of his ability to read and disrupt the game - he's invaluable against danger men. KDB is arguably the best CM in the world and Kanté shackled him (of course he still had to score a ridiculous free kick) - now how do you take this further? Kanté will be huge in tough CL games next season and beyond. Vesper, Fernando and Muzchap 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Kante could play as DMF but only against bigger ball-keeping sides. We lacked massively in building up from the back today, it would be suicide against smaller teams to have him there. Fernando and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best PL games in a long time, super quality from both sides. Superb game - great tactical victory from Frank, Jody and the rest of the boys. City showcasing why they're such a ridiculous team at times but some great performances from our chaps (Kanté and Christensen were superb defensively) to keep them away from the box. And we should've arguably scored 3/4. Muzchap and Pizy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
