From my perspective...was never in doubt that Kante was going to be one of the mainstays in the side (regardless of Jovacic form), when fit.
No player can replicate the potency that he offers in the middle.

"As a single six, as in a 4-1-4-1, he has to be more disciplined in his position. He can do this but I think we would be cutting his wings a little bit. So double six is best.“

I know a lotta chelsea fans will like this comment. It is pretty accurate tbf from Tuchel.

Jorginho and Kova have been playing well but I’m definitely open to a Kante Kova midfield two. I always felt like on paper it should work very well. It never did under Frank but maybe Tuchel can make it work

Gilmour > Kante

Doesn't have to be one or the other.
Kante & Gilmour can co-exist in the same team, they both bring different qualities to the game.
My first-choice midfield pairing.

Well fact is, along with Mount, Kovacic has been our best midfielder since Tuchel took over.
