I’m genuinely wondering, is Kante the greatest player we’ve ever had?

Super Frank was unbelievable, Terry legend, Drogba big game winner, but Kante wow, there is no one like him. Absolutely crazy how he makes it look like there is 3 of him on the pitch.

He’s not that close to Terry or Super Frank in terms of legendary status but he’s possibly the greatest player. 

Great question, and difficult to answer.

I think Drogba and Kante are the greatest big-game players I've ever seen at the club. If you need someone to will you over the line in a cup final, these two would do it without hesitation.

Mate went to the pre-season game against Tottenham the other week and said Kante was superb.

He should really play with a long Red cape, a large letter S on his chest, and his pants over his shorts.

 

Tuchel:

Speaking at his pre-match press conference for Crystal Palace, Tuchel said: ‘There is an issue with N’Golo Kante from the [Super Cup] final we need to sort. The decisions are not made yet, who starts and who we push over the line.’

 

Hopefully he starts tomorrow, with Jorginho lacking fitness and Kovacic struggling against Villareal. CM is one of the positions that we are lacking in depth.

At the same time we dont want to push him and get him injured.

His fitness record is turning into a bit of a headache. You can't really trust him to stay fit for extended periods of time anymore and with only three midfielders for two spots this season that may very well turn into a big issue unless we bring another player in.

We could sign Lewis Cook on loan as cover. His talent is being wasted in the Championship. 🤩

Why force Kante to play when he is not fit? 

We simply can't afford to lose Kante.

I was hoping he would be fit for today, still this just confirms that we should be looking for more depth in that position. Just wait for the fixture list to be more congested and Kovacic to miss several games like he usually does each season.

We don't need Kante against team like Palace. It is better to rest him, we need him against team who has strong no 10 or attack through the middle

Kante couldn't play today because he had more important things to do. 

In the the 3rd quadrant of the Nebula galaxy the Zylons had attacked Antharia and he had to fly off and stop all that kerfuffle. And on the way back he had to use his super-human hyper-speed to divert the course of a rogue asteroid on a direct collision course with earth. Of course saving the world, and the Antharians, is just par for the course for our N'golo but it did mean he couldn't make a 3.00pm kick today. He apologizes.

I really hope his injury isn’t serious. It does reinforce we could do with another defensive CM player. I thought he was brilliant for the first half in breaking up the play and it seemed like he was every where.

We need a DM to cover for Kova or Jorgi if Kante has niggles now and again.

Hope we go in for Bissouma now

That would be much better than a risky Saul loan imo.

He looks broken at the minute doesn’t he. Constantly injured and unreliable. 

Fair to say he is constantly overused because we don't have anyone else with similar characteristics. It doesn't help with the injuries. We have no other hunters defensively apart from him.
