No one is denying the fact that he was rock solid in the middle of the park but he was not the most important factor in the last 2 title winning sides.

EOD

lets not override the issue but its pretty clear that he was

Leyqute:


Was he important? Yes. Was he the most important? Nope. Afterall he played in the games where you guys faltered at the beginning of the season. Looking at things holistically, I'd say Conte's tweaking of the formation delivered the trophy for you guys.









Not competing in Europe helped you guys too.

you have a point with the conte issue but without kante it wouldn't have been still possible

It's simple.

Kante was bot to replace our departing midfielders and to solidify the midfield, he has done that perfectly.

Neymar is a big guy, 3rd best player in the world at some point, PSG needed him for UCL glory.

Barca sold Neymar, they can afford to splash all the money on Coutinho.

We signed Baka to replace Matic.

Tell me who your money-miss-road of a team sold for Pogba, who did your team sell for Matic....? Why exactly did you sign Pogba? Must you be magad all the time?

you signed bakayoko to replace a player who was still in the team? lemme agree, now that you have replaced matic, why are you still trying to sign drink water? are kante and bakayoko not good enough? this is your logic not mine.. according to you, we forked out 40m for matic when we already have pogba, Pogba has been playing since the arrival of matic so I don't quite get what you mean in your first post

who we sold for pogba? I will overlook this question simply because you are not a man united fan, just like me asking you who you sold to buy back Luiz.. I am sure you read countless times on the news 2-3 seasons ago how Rooney dropped to the midfield to save United

who did we sell for matic, matic was bought to replace an old Carrick, our midfield has been non existent for a while now, it's no breaking news, it's something even rival fans know so I am surprised at the kinda questions you are asking me

Neymar Was The 3rd best player at some point? Pogba was one of the world's best midfielders in 2015, why did we pay 89m for him again?

you were of the opinion that we bought matic to replace Pogba according to what I was able to deduce from this quote of yours "Pogba was so good last season that we forked 40m for another midfielder".. unless you are telling me Pogba now plays as a DM and a CM

now my point is, we didn't fork out 40m for another midfielder because Pogba was poor last season, we forked out 40m for another midfielder because we needed a DM to replace Carrick and so far so good, he has proven it was money well spent

to cap it all up, matic's signing Was The final piece of the jigsaw in our midfield

thank you

I await your answer patiently.

Griffon:


I no come understand na. Your action is akin to Devil praying for the well-being of God

Lmao.. United and Chelsea are rivals no mean say man go dey wish Chelsea to lose match every time na..

Griffon:


You must be a garlic munching bangalore riff-raff to ever think i was pushing an argument with that statement.

To cap it all, you even had the chutzpah to bring up the Schwarzer name in a discourse that points towards 'general team influence', a goalie that made no single appearance in his team title winning run.

What have you guys been chewing over that thread?

You've gotten your shine. Clap for yourself. I know Schwarzer didn't participate in his team's success, just stating some stat. And like I mentioned to pamcode, twas tongue in cheek.

However, you must be an autistic troglodyte to think and believe that this line of discussion could never lead to an argument:

SetrakusRa:


you've choosen not to understand what larride's been giving you all day. I'm sure you want me to say we bought Pogba to win the EPL right? Can you list just one player that'll guarantee a team the EPL title regardless of price?

Griffon:


N'golo Kante. Two EPL titles with two different teams in two seasons.

Is it with that orangutan head of yours you're running Cobhams Delivery Services (CDS)? No wonder digzz and co are about to seize the top position from you.

Godstraight:

Not sure this is true. Kante is just one player and he can be replaced. If you guys got another player with the characteristics and skills he has then you guys will arguably have the same season.

How about Ramirez before he became Ramufat?

"Morata is ready to start the game, yes. For sure. I repeat he needs to improve his physical condition and he needs a bit of time to reach the top, but he's in contention for the game."

Conte...

Official matchday thread.


https://www.nairaland.com/3905055/tottenham-hotspur-vs-chelsea-today#58192975

“If you remember Morata didn't play regularly with Real Madrid last season because he was behind Karem Benzema. Usually when you don't play regularly you lose sometimes your performance, sometimes your quality in your physical condition. You need a bit of time to recover this.


Conte


We want Morata to play regularly for Chelsea. But my choices don't depend on the cost of money. We can spend a lot of money for one player and then I put him on the bench, because I'm seeing this player is not ready to play.

"He worked in the same way after he missed the penalty (against Arsenal in the Community Shield). This is a life of a player. To live positive or negative situation. The most important thing is to have the confidence of the coach, the club, the team-mates.

"Morata is a young player. He can stay in this club for many years to become a fantastic striker for this club. Recently I only told that I have admiration for [Harry] Kane, for this player, but I think it's normal. It doesn't mean that I don't like my players."

yea but he made our season,Ramirez for all its latter faults contributed to this club,I never said kante is the best DM in world football but he was the best in Chelsea last season, the best in england for the past two seasons and the best player last season as well,that's a lot of achievement in a short time and if you didn't just dislike Chelsea you would have seen the view too

I'm viewing things holistically bro. I'm not saying your black manga is not important in your club, I'm saying he's not 100% the reason you guys won. It's not even up to 50% but it's considerable.

When Man Utd won the league in 2009, did Utd win it because of Ronaldo or because of SAF?

Godstraight:

You are forgetting that the 2015/2016 was a one-off not exactly the norm with you guys recently. The core of that team won the league in 2014/2015 so it's not like you guys were parading new comers to the league.

Kante was in the middle of the park last season when you guys were being exposed before Conte twerked the system and brought out the 343 which brought out the best in your team defensively and attacking wise. There's so much a man can do in a wrong system.

I'm not trying to downplay Kante performance for CFC last season, Conte was the most important factor last season, he's 343 system won you guys the league ably supported by all the players.

It could even be argued that Costa was more important than Kante for you guys last season.

I never said he was 100% I said he was the most important factor,others were conte,Costa and hazard,ronaldo was the most important a reason you won,SAF is a legend no doubt but he didn't win the league every year, we doubled the title but harnessing a young Ronaldo and Rooney gave your the triple title run in the future, those talents outgun Chelsea for three years

How exactly is he the most important factor, bring out the stat, let's see how he was the most important factor. Don't bother to tell us he won the league best player, we know that already.

Huddersfield looking like a team that will stay up this season.

They have good organization and intense work-rate.

no Costa is not more important than kante,no even hazard,look at it from this angle,the Coach is the technica the brain,the assembler but he needs resources,conte was brilliant last season so brilliant that we won the league in a season 4 out of 40 pundits fancied us,but without kante all that would have been horseshit,the midfield is the most important part of a team,barca rule with xavi-iniesta-bosquet,Madrid is not beating barca because they have Ronaldo/arsecio they are beating them because they have a FAR superior midfield,we achieve that with kante,Tottenham are superior to us in that aspect but we won so many points not to simply win the league,conte brilliant plan worked because of kante
Meanwhile the same man a season later was the most important piece in a very shocking title winning team(we found out how important the next season),I think he must be that good.

We shouldn't give less credit to coaches when they win trophies because we see the players more.

If you'd given him 35 to 40%, I'd say it's okay; because he didn't score a quarter of the goals that won the title but sure was important. Even ostracized Costa scored a chunk of goals in the first half of the season. Replace Costa with Giroud in your team and see if you'll win the title.

Same with Man Utd in 2009.

Football is a team sport.

bla bla bla... How is Kante more important than Hazard and Costa last season. What exactly did he do? What did he contribute? goals? assists? tackles? interception? clean sheet? what exactly made Kante more important than Costa your highest goal scorer or Hazard?
