Kante is relentless. His work rate and ability to cover ground is amazing. One could make the case that he is the Blues most important player this season.

Not getting too far ahead, I hope that we can get a 3rd shot at Spurs in the FA Cup.

Yep. Kante was superb. Whenever an arsenal player would get the ball I started subconsciously looking around for where kante was on the pitch hoping he'd come cover the person. He's got these extremely quick and smart lunges for the ball that are almost impossible to keep the ball when he does them. Him and Azpi are so fast when defending it's incredible.

Kante has been good all season but he's been out of his mind the last two matches.

Kante should've been a Ballon d'Or finalist.

I hated losing to you lot but I can't help but admit it was amazing to watch Kante. He absolutely bossed the entire field. One of the most dominant displays I've seen from a midfielder in a long time.

What a player you all have.

Welp my winning streak for watching Chelsea came to an end yesterday in a shitty little English city called Burnley. I'm something like 10-1-0 for them right now but it was the first game I've been to that they didn't win. Was the most shite weather I've ever seen too. Half rain and half freezing rain with a decent amount of wind. I think we cruise to another title personally. Been a hell of a season thus far. Costa has been pretty uninspiring recently too... any thoughts?

Finally saw why perhaps we brought in Falcao (vs. ManCity). Wish he would have scored like that wearing the Blue.

Bumpity bump bump

I know there were questions when we signed Luiz but he has been a perfect fit as a sweeper in the back three. With Matic and Kante both in front of the back 3, our defense has been a wall all year.

And, our wingers have actually created chances. Amazing how Hazard switched from being miserably bad to back to his old self instantly with Conte.

Also, Willian has been quite the professional. He went from being our POTY last year and one of the only bright spots on the squad to being an occasional starter and most often a 60th minute sub. The emergence of Pedro and having three very good wingers has been a blessing.

Gonna need those guys big time when we are back in Europe next year.

I still think Moses is the clear weak spot and hope we get a true RWB this summer and have Moses as a rotational player.

I hope we wrap this up early and get the young guys, Terry, and Bats some playing time. They will need the experience for next year as well and JT deserves to go out playing if this is indeed his swan song.

Interesting to see chalobahs spot getting took by Loftus Cheek past few games, or a combo of Conte tightening the rotation with fab and matic.

Hasnt made the bench in awhile.

Agreed. That being said, its been insane to watch Conte turn him into at least a competent first team player

Eh, I don't think Moses has been any weaker than Alonso. Both are serviceable but don't wow you very often.

I feel Alonso, naturally, is a more solid defender but my main issue with Moses is he gets the ball in dangerous spots so often but I feel like he never does anything with it.
