Former Chelsea manager Glenn Hoddle has criticised Frank Lampard for how he used N’Golo Kante in Chelsea’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Tuesday evening.

“For me, the midfield I don’t get Kante playing in that position going from there,” Hoddle told Premier League Productions.

“I see him as one of the best holding players in the world, defensive midfield players in the world still at 32. Do that job. Do what you’re good at and then go and feed people who can go and play in those defensive areas.

“It doesn’t suit him. He can’t go and play on the half turn, he can’t play with his back to play, he can’t score goals from that position. He might come up with one or two from distance playing in a deeper role.

“You’ve got to play the right players in the right position.”
