Flamini simply isn't the defensive
midfielder that Arsenal are looking for, he allowed Mohamed Diame to
physically dominate him all afternoon and, whilst he was fouled, his reaction for the equalising goal was pathetic.
With sides increasingly looking away from traditional combative defensive
midfielders, Kante shows the benefits of having someone who can consistently break up play,
physically dominate and join in attack on a level not seen in the league since the days, perhaps of Vieira and Keane.
