Fickle football fans have fallen out of love with N’Golo Kante

Football fans are quick to change their opinion based on one game. Who knew?

It seems like only yesterday that supporters - be they of N'Golo Kante's current club, his previous clubs or complete neutrals - were praising the midfielder as one of the best in Europe. That's because it was only yesterday that supporters were praising the midfielder as one of the best in Europe. The "coincidence" that Kante anchored the centre of the park for Leicester City's fairytale season last term and is doing the same for champions elect Chelsea in this campaign has sent his stock skyrocketing. And the stats didn't lie as the Frenchman's reputation as an impenetrable force intensified. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/844320217702580225 But all it takes is one off-night for football supporters to turn on you. We're acting like that's new information when, in reality, it's anything but. However the breakneck nature of this U-Turn definitely stood out as remarkable as Kante was torn asunder for his performance during France's home defeat to Spain on Tuesday night. The Chelsea star was given the runaround by Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Koke, which prompted the use of terms such as "exposed", "fraud" and "overrated" on social media. https://twitter.com/ItsKyleTurner/status/846815667613523968 https://twitter.com/UnitedDanny/status/846814952048545792 https://twitter.com/UnitedDanny/status/846817717428588544 https://twitter.com/MattRiverss/status/846820203900088321 https://twitter.com/Rich_Harrison88/status/846808535740633089 https://twitter.com/ClassicYanited/status/846831260894986244 https://twitter.com/JakeBradley186/status/846830266765201408 https://twitter.com/Chilled_DJ/status/846826477492604928 https://twitter.com/____AN20/status/846801883490586625 https://twitter.com/AchDoz_/status/846833606341341185
