You start the article praising Kante for his creativity going forward and then say that the addition of Fabregas adds creativity to your midfield. Sounds like you may be in a muddle, mate.

Still not convinced he's not on drugs.
Has Abramovich hooked him up with some dodgy Russian doctors?
"Was excellent going forward today, showed some classy touches and made some excellent passes. "
Sounds a lot like how I would define a creative player going forward.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually say he attacks as much as he defends, that doesn't necessarily equate to creative. I think you might be muddled mate.
Also, Fabregas was mentioned as I consider him a more creative force to Pedro and Willian. That comment has nothing to do with Kante.

You are arguing just semantics. I would rather actually hear a real opinion, than a ridiculous tangent.
Well you mention Kante within that comment, so sounds like it has a little to do with him.
Again, I already posted how you described Kante as a creative player with classy touches and excellent passes during the times he was going forward.
His dribble today, he's capable of doing it every game. He's great at what he does but to become a world class all round midfielder he should be as confident in his abilities on the ball as he is without it. When dribbling he's the closest in style in our squad to Hazard, he has good close control, balance and acceleration, yet only occasionally uses it to break forward in midfield and cause problems in the final third. His passing too, especially his short passing, can be quite strong when he's in the mood, I like how comfortable he is doing quick one or two touch passing in tight spaces.
As an actual comment and not just stirring trouble. I think people are aware that he is good on the ball. He wouldn't have won PFA Player of the Year otherwise!
He's just being pedantic, don't rise to the bait.
Kante was excellent today, such a fantastic player. That £30 million we paid for him is starting to look like one of the great buys in PL history.
The hype around Kante has just got bigger and bigger, to the point where no one sees his mistakes. He's given the ball away a few times lately and did it again tonight, at one stage missing his interception completely and earning another yellow
I don't remember him giving the ball away once at Leicester. That's not to see he isn't brilliant, he is, but he's the most hyped player in the league

His dribbling is definitely his main strength going forward. I think he can improve his passing under pressure, however today he had times when he had plenty of space which helped.
He is a brilliant player, not perfect, but brilliant at what he does. He is the kind of player I wished Ramires had transformed into. Also a lovable guy too

Of course he makes mistakes. I have often criticised parts of his play, especially in some of the bigger games. However, today I think he was brilliant, not his best performance for us, but a performance which highlighted what he can do in attack.
He's a very good player but I get the feeling he'll be hugely tested in the CL and might be shown up by the best.
If he can replicate this form in the CL he deserves a load of praise. If not, he's just a very good midfielder rather than a great one.

1) why does everything have to turn into Pogba vs Kante? Does that validate Kante in any way?
2) Pogba has done just fine in the CL in recent years thank you very much.
Wasn't Kante vs Pogba, just funny pointing out the flop that is Pogba
I commented yesterday during the match...his reading of the game at close quarters is thing of beauty - is it not
At times he was in possession and just glided past people with effortless ease...& even better is how he wrestles the ball back from 60/40 situations & then gets a pass off is phenominal
Matic must think he's in heaven with him next door...as would any midfielder...you can see why he's been voted POTY above the likes of Haz & others
£30m....Leicester have really let that go too easy

MOTM last night, did not waste a pass, and his touch and passing was fantastic. That dribble in the first half was great.
Again, Leicester had no choice but to sell Kante. He had a release clause and would not of signed for us in the first place without it.

well because kante is a better player than pogba, so how would he be shown up? Pogba as you say, managed just fine.
I heard that the PFA award was going to Hazard ... but Kante intercepted it.
