Some Chelsea fans now want rid of Ngolo Kante, after his performance for them yesterday.

Chelsea were beaten 2-0 by Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day, as they put in another disappointing home performance.

Frank Lampard’s side have struggled in front of their own fans this season.

And there is a feeling that Kante actually isn’t best suited to playing in Frank Lampard’s system at Chelsea now.

Lampard looks likely to keep hold of Kante, but he does have a dilemma in the midfield area.

Chelsea have looked strong with Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic at times this term, but taking Kante out of the team would be a huge call for Lampard to make.

The Frenchman, on his day, remains one of the finest midfielders in world football and it seems likely that Lampard will stick by him, despite his poor display yesterday.

Chelsea are still in fourth place in the Premier League as things stand, despite yesterday’s disappointing defeat.
