Kante is a good tackler but he is very limited. Kante cannot do the job of a deep lying playmaker.

Non tactical that messed modric and his army up.

How tactical do you have to be to do that?

Maybe you have to be God to be tactical

Granit xhaka is a more complete midfielder than ngolo kante. Kante can only tackle and break up play. Xhaka can tackle, can assist, can shoot, long pass accuracy, free kicks etc.

Typical assnalTARD! If you're really comparing xhatrash who wouldn't even be mentioned in the top 50 premier league midfielders to kante, then I don't see how you aren't deluded. Xhaka should be compared to the likes of Fred & donny van de Beek. *spits

ManCity has the best midfield follow by Man united

But the most effective midfield is Chelsea

Very well said. The finesse, silk, swagger and personality (as in the way the players are heralded) are with the 2 manchester clubs midfield. But Chelsea's midfield is super efficient/effective. They do their jobs to the T.

Lamasta:


Manchester City still has the best midfielders so far in EPL...

De Bruyne

Gondoghan

Mahrez

Fernandinho

B.Silva

Rodrigo

Foden

Tell me why we will not still win the EPL this season

With all these, their ass was whooped thrice in the space of 6 weeks. Mancity got the luck that Tuchel didn't take over very early of last season.

Listen. Being good at your job doesn't make you the best. Kante tackling and intercepting doesn't mean he's best. We saw how kante struggled when lampard pushed him high up the pitch.

Even jorginho is a better midfielder than kante.

What are you even saying? There's nothing like a 4-4-3 formation.
Kante can function in a 4-3-3 formation, if that's what you meant. He's done it so many times in the French national team

Nope.
He is in a 4-2-3-1
With either pogba or maituidi in that world cup winning campaign
He's part of a double pivot, with him being the main dm and the other the box to box

all chelsea players struggled under lampard...this mason mount we are praising now was nearly stoned during lampard era. Kante has won EPL best player in the past. Where was xhaka.

It even sound stupid arguing with you on this xhaka stuff. When Kante took on Mancity and Madrid and won man of the match. He faced Verane, Modric, casemiro, Toni Kross, Berdando silver et.c.. Xhaka can't even lace the boots of all these players.

Tell us what xhaka has done.

Actually Fred is also a more complete midfielder than kante. Fred can tackle, can assist, can shoot from distance, can score free kicks etc.

You Chelsea noisemakers only use tackles as a metric for comparison when it comes to kante. Because kante can tackle more than xhaka, does it mean he's better xhaka?

Xhaka can score free kicks. He even scored a free-kick against Chelsea.

Has kante scored a free-kick in his entire career?

Midfield football is much more than tackles.

Im not talking about this year's euro 2020. I'm talking about world cup. France used 4-3-3 in World cup and won it with kante playing as a, lone defensive midfielder. Sit down man

The funny thing is, I'm not even an arsenal fan. But you can have a good time laughing at yourself.

There are several defensive midfielders with better footballing abilities than Kante. Casemiro, fernandinho, alcantara, jorginho, Fernando reges, gundogan, kimmich, joan jordan, dani parejo, but I'll stick with xhaka for now.

If use tackles as your yardstick for comparison, I'll use free-kicks.

Please, tell us, when has Kante scored a 40 yard screamer or a free-kick in his career?

Guy your brain dey leak?
So you're acrually saying Xhala is better than Kante? I can't believe this. Typical assnaltard! See lemme tell you, Xhaka wouldnt make it into Chelsea's 23 man squad. It's not a joke.

Kante is a defensive midfielder. He does his role well and this season hes shown he can do what normal cm and attacking midfielders do too.

It would be an honor for Xhaka to lace the boot of the world cup and Uefa Champions league winner

Chelsea have captain, freekick and penalty taker. Kante is not one of them.

OMNIVIRUS:

Kante is an incredible Dm, but tactically speaking, he cannot function as a lone pivot in a 4-4-3.
Kante is limited to either a 4-2-3-1, 3-4-3 or 4-4-2, with another box to box and very good wingers.
The implications is that he is a specialist dm and will need other players to augment in terms of the goals and assist department.
The best midfield right now in world football is Mancity.k
With KDB, Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Phil Foden is already mouthwatering.
With the inclusion of the technically gifted Jack Grealish, that proposition becomes scary.
The can morph into any variations you want and retain attacking intent.... its scary

Hmmmn... This your analysis get as e be.
For starters, the post is talking about best midfield composing 3-5 players, but you seem to be talking about best midfielder, 1 player. At least the part where you mentioned Kante.

So e dey 1 kind. But even at that, the analysis still bend.

Kante is a DM(with M meaning midfielder). Currently, he is the best in that position and it takes a lot of tactical nous to be a DM. You break up play with tackles and interception and immediately launch an attack. He has to do all these without getting sent off and he succeeds!

After SIX years in the PL as a successful DM he has 29 yellow cards(5 every season) and Zero red card!!

The other players you mentioned are excellent midfielders (except Rodri last season, it wasn't his best season imo ) but none of them currently can do what Kante does in a team. Case in point - A 'Kante player' in the manchester team would have made it more difficult for Chelsea to win the champions league.

Many people also overlook the creative side of the man. He is often the the guy that pass the ball to the guy that makes the assist. E.g Assist for Havertz shot against Madrid that Werner scored and assist for Pulisic assist that Mount scored. He was heavily involved going forward last season. That's the reason they say Kante is everywhere... From front to back!

That said, Manchester city's midfield(5 players - with Fernandinho instead of Rodri) is silkier than Chelsea's - they are more beautiful to the eyes and that is why most of their play go through midfield unlike Chelsea that prefer wingbacks bombing forward...
Only say Guardiola dey overtinker them in big matches.

Football is much more than tackles. Have you wondered why Milner is highly rated?

Milner can play every position on the pitch. And he plays it well. Milner spent a full year as a left back and gave 10 assists.

How is Kante better than Milner when Milner can play his DM position and even played the position AM where Kante struggled?
