Any injury updates?

At the Everton post-match press conference, Conte said he's about ready. Might be afforded rest against Bournemouth, might not.

Ah thanks!

Conte just said in the presser that Kante is not ready for this game

Good, have him ready for Utd the following week.

Saw that as well, maybe something in training caused him to reassess the situation or a smokescreen.

He also said, Kante might be in contention for the Roma game which honestly I'm not sure whether rushing him for that game is good or not. 

Granted that winning against Roma means we've basically qualified for the R16 provided we beat Qarabag again.

Incredible how he changed our game against Man United, what a player he is!

Ran out of adjectives for this guy. Best in the world at his position.

Played good despite not being up to full fitness

 

N'Golo Kante one of the names omitted from the list UEFA Team of the Year

When you read this you'll sh*t bricks. f**king UEFAlona.

 

 

Not sure if it's just me but Kante has really made strides on his technique on the ball.

His ball recycling is approaching Maka's level. He won't look out of place in Pep's Barca imo

List is Garbage

The 8th wonder of the world. It amazes me that players like Casemiro and Mkhitryan are making that list over him. 

These things are all just a popularity contest. Just wait until the final 11 are announced, it will be a mix of Barcelona and Real Madrid players again. Barcelona had a poor season last season, the only player out of their lot that should be in the 11 is Messi. The rest were well below their best.

Iniesta and Dani Alves will inevitably make the team. 

His display against Newcastle was a Masterclass in defensive midfield play. Trully Wonderful

This guy is the catalyst for turning a lethargic, slow game into action just by his pressing and winning the ball back. As soon as he starts doing that even the crowd wake up.

I hope this little fella retires at Chelsea

IMHO The King Maker doesn't get enough credit - still I am happy for this recent development

 

He is here - he is there - he is everywhere - N'Golo Kante

 

Kante. What super player. I think the rest of the team let's a few of the players down too often. Hazard, Kante and Azpi are probably the three most consistent and hungry players in the team. Sometimes you watch the rest playing during some of those half-baked performances and they are the three who still put in good performances.

Man he was good tonight, so many tackles and never gives the opposition time to breath. He's one of our only players that puts in top performances for 90+ minutes.

I wish he was 21... You wonder how long he can do what he does. The man is a star.

It's been said many times but having him in the side really is like playing with an extra man. Absolute quality player.

World class player. Could get in to any team in the world. Deserves better than to be lumbered with most of the rest of this team.
