Martin Tyler is so desperate for Chelsea to score.

Just because Frank plays him differently doesn't mean he is not. He has the skills to be box to box, but his tackling and sense of snuffing out opposing attacks is top quality!

Still think we took the wrong DM off them with Matic!
Frank, Conte, Ranieri and Dechamps you mean. He has never excelled as a lone dm.

Christensen/Zouma always have a mistake in them. Hopefully Sheffield can take advantage of that.
Love it:lol:

Chelski defence is utter rubbish. Dosent matter who they sign in attack. As long as they dont improve the defence nothing Will change.

Not just GK. They need a new back 4 of they want to win anything.

Pulisic removed after a poor performance. He is a moments player. Not as efficient as Willian.

I assume the person you are quoting means Kante doesnt just sit and hold. He is the guy that goes around the pitch pressing and ideally plays next to someone who will sit.
I guess thats what he means, but in an attacking team, a DM does not need to sit. He needs to go all around the own half snuffing out danger. His role is primarily defensive.

Kante fits that perfectly. Not every DM needs to play the game like Makalele.

There is no spoon.
I'm surprised, thought he was capable of scoring a goal out of nowhere kind of player
I was thinking the same thing, Barkley has looked like hes pretending to be a football player for 65 mins and Abraham has been invisible.. at least Pulisic can create something out of nothing.

I know this makes me a hindsight expert, but the minute I saw Giroud, Kante and Gilmor (I know 2 not by choice) out of the lineup, Chelsea were always going to win this (shhhh)
