He is injuredOr maybe you can laugh at him as he didn't even make the bench.

Would be lovely if we could bring in Tchouameni as his replacement before Kante's legs are truly gone.Kante probably isn't at his peak anymore but hes still an absolute beast in midfield for the most part.
Probably getting to the stage in his career where he could be sold to United in all honestly. Matic out, Kante in.
Would be a shame if sanctions prevented you from going for him and he moved elsewhereWould be lovely if we could bring in Tchouameni as his replacement before Kante's legs are truly gone.

Thanks, great post.Kante was getting a lot of stick during Lampard's tenure but this was mostly because Lampard played suicidal football - he set us up in a 4-3-3 then bombed both fullbacks forward, so when defending we were something like a 2-1-2-5. Basically he asked Kante to mop up literally everything - and this was impossible, even for Kante. This is why we got counter-attacked to death - god only knows how many draws we turned into losses because we played short-sightedly and impatiently.
Tuchel basically realised that having Kante sweep horizontally is fundamentally a misuse - Kante's best attribute is his ability to press high then recover. Thus using him as a rover in a double pivot makes far more sense.
