I'd definitely swap the 2. Ake was one of the best LBs in the league last season and Gvardiol is a natural CB. Reminds me of Stones with his ball playing and ability to drive through the defence.i agree, his passing is a bit wasted on the left, ake is a better fit there for us, i think. Hopefully we can see a rearrangement soon enough, although pep seems to have him nailed down as a left back for now
I'd be pairing him with Dias in all our big games when Stones is injured. Pep maybe wants to give him more time to settle in but he's the most obvious replacement for the Stones role.
