Unbelievable. He's been the best CM in the Premier League this season yet has gotten half the acclaim Kante's received.

In some ways, I think he goes unnoticed/under-appreciated by pundits because he does his job so well.
As someone on the pod (I think?) said; you see him going into a challenge against an opponent in midfield and are completely relaxed in the knowledge that he'll come away with the ball.
Wanyama isn't doing last ditch tackles or fancy shite, he's doing what he's tasked with doing and getting the ball to our more creative players.
Indeed. He's not fashionable, that's the problem. You could pick the 50 most used pundits on the telly and not one would have him in their season eleven. Doesn't change the fact that he's been as good as Kanté in my opinion. He's an absolute monster.
Love him. So consistent & reliable. Probably a 8 out of 10 nearly every game.
He must be in our top 3 in terms of minutes on the pitch for us this season.
Still not been sent off for us yet, which a lot of us feared!

I was watching an interview with Alli where his choice for 'moment to travel back to in time' was "Eric Dier's first goal for Spurs - because he doesn't score much".Everyone seems to forget him when they talk about our transfers last summer. It's probably because he fits so well into the team.
If we were ten points clear at the top of the league then wanyama would be getting all the praiseAll this worshipping of Kante is well over the top for me. He is a great player but what does he do that Wanyama doesn't already do? Our Vic is better with the ball at his feet.
