Odd to see this as many Chelsea and Kante fans have already agreed that he was no more than average in the past few seasons, if you read earlier posts in this thread. Some put the blame on Sarri and Lampard, some use excuses such as injuries, but it's a common consensus that he struggles in possession football and 3-man midfield.
I'm here not because I'm the OP and have to resort to make things up. I can just ignore the thread and hide, like many of you do when he struggles against smaller sides. I'm here because I still don't believe 3 good games can define a player and overwrite ~3.5 seasons of no more than average performances.
Yes, because N’golo Kante has only had 3 good games in his career.
And before you say ‘oh but I mentioned his good 2016-2018 period before’, yes I know that you did reference it extremely briefly just to dismiss it whilst you built your featherweight case.
The very premise of your argument is nonsensical. Kante doesn’t play well in systems that don’t suit his strengths. Well, colour me flabbergasted!
“Chelsea fans explaining his poor form used the injury ‘excuse’” So being injured is an excuse now is it? I saw Maradona have some lacklustre games on his return from a broken ankle. I guess he must be pants too.
“He does it against Real Madrid and Man City, but where are those great performances against Sheffield United?!?! Eh?!?! He goes missing!”
Please just stop. He’s a great player. Is he Franz Beckenbauer? No, but he’s a great player.
