Yeah, was looking like Vinnie against the rags but obviously prime Vinnie wouldn’t turn up from Dortmund these days at 27 for 15m. A good addition without doubt but he was bullied today. Might be an idea to settle on his best centre back pairing after the world cup.

The lad is top quality,needs stability and a regular partner to show it.
This constant rotation and playing alongside different individuals and in differing systems isnt helping any of our centre halves.

Getting daft the amount of CB partnerships we are using.

I said earlier,5 top centre halves is both a blessing and a curse - its not workable and its unsustainable.I expect Ake and /or Laporte to be offski next year.

He and Stones should have been switched after 10 minutes. Both hung out to dry

Spot on. Looks like he’s not a Pep-level possession type player. Wants too long on the ball, he’s too indecisive.One thing that frustrates me is how slow he moves the ball in possession. He makes Ake look penetrative!
Also not stopping that cross for their second is woeful.

It’s not his first bad game. He was shit at right back the other week too. He was awful today and I’ve no idea why Pep didn’t see that.hes had a great start to the season , one bad game(along with everyone else),bluemoon at its best

He was poor against Fulham last week n’all. Everything he did took too long.It’s not his first bad game. He was shit at right back the other week too. He was awful today and I’ve no idea why Pep didn’t see that.

He was awful at Anfield as well. He's had as many bad games as good games.He was poor against Fulham last week n’all. Everything he did took too long.
I don’t think it is in a day. People always overrated him after a couple of good games. Reality is that he is OK. But probably our 5th CB.So on here he's gone from an astute and clever signing to completely shit in one day.
Our entitled fanbase. Half of them don't know how to handle a defeat.hes had a great start to the season , one bad game(along with everyone else),bluemoon at its best

I said it at the time and I will say it again now…Ake should have been sold. We didn’t need 3 top-class CBs + Ake then. We 100% do not need 3 top-class CBs + Ake + Akanji now.I said earlier,5 top centre halves is both a blessing and a curse - its not workable and its unsustainable.I expect Ake and /or Laporte to be offski next year.
It does not matter one jot that Ake has improved, or that Akanji has looked good since he signed. It’s like having Haaland, Mbappe and Lewandowski all vying for one strikers spot…unsustainable.
No team should be having a different CB partnership every week. If Ake, or Akanji cannot consistently surpass the levels that Stones, Dias and Laporte have shown over sustained, title-winning seasons, they are no fucking use to us. Dias was lauded as the best CB in Europe, now he is on the bench every other week so that CBs a fraction of his quality don’t put a transfer request in. Farcical.
