25 | Manuel Akanji - 2022/23 Performances

[David Kloppesh]

I said what I said, but after his post match interview, I. like him again.

 

[Ghost of 76]

He is garbage in comparison to all our other CB.
Started off well but seems to get worse each week.
The big concern is that Pep seems to have him as 1st name on the team sheet.
Probably explains why we rarely keep a clean sheet nowadays in the league let along back to back.
There is a reason he was 15M

Pep clearly knows less about what makes a top player than you, so it beats me how the clown has won 4 out of the last 5 for us!

Peps not going to be winning anything this year with the likes of Akanji in the team. Since he has come in we struggle to keep a clean sheet abandoned we haven’t kept a single back to back.

 

[Sir peace frog]

"for a garbage cb" ,he has been outstanding this season and for 15m an absolute bargain, a very pleasant surprise ,and one we needed because of our defensive injuries

Overly harsh there

I ignored this when I originally saw it, but seriously why do posters write such utter shite when it is clearly so wide of the truth ?

WUM's or just plain fucking stupid - it's hard to tell sometimes ?

 

[thanatos]

This is not his level. Just dreadful again

 

[eastmanc]

What's happened to Laporte

 

[Tricky_Trev]

He’s crap. Nothing more needs to be said about him.

 

[eastmanc]

Too slow on the ball get Dias back with Stones.

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

Had no right to attack that ball on spuds second goal dreadful attempt at a tackle it pulled our defence all out of shape, then when the ball was in the onion bag he'd only just got back that's completely unacceptable... Sooner Dias and Laporte are back and fully fit the better.

Akanji should be no more than backup it's clear why Dortmund fans were frustrated he shuts off or loses his head at times, we're suffering this season without Dias or Laporte alongside Stones, if all three of them are fit then Akanji should be nowhere to be seen he's last choice Ake is certainly ahead too for me.

This isn't a knee jerk reaction he can be so hit and miss.

 

[BlueTG]

He’s pony.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Horrendous in the first half but much improved in the second.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He is 5th choice CB. No successful team plays their 5th choice CB every week by choice. Pep must stop playing him.

 

[city warrior]

He is 5th choice CB. No successful team plays their 5th choice CB every week by choice. Pep must stop playing him.

I mean Dias is injured, Stones and Laporte are injured every 3 matches and Ake needs to be played as LB (Cancelo is the worst player of the season and Gomez...). Of course he is the 5th CB, but we have needed him.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

He’s just a bit meh, not very good on the ball and doesn’t defend well enough to make up for it.

Even if Laporte is suspect to the odd mistake his breaking of the lines passing over rules that In my opinion

 

[RayCTID]

I said this a couple of pages back it is pointless slating him. He isn't top quality but still a good player

 

[chris85mcfc]

The sooner we get Dias and Laporte back into the defence the better

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

He did a much better job on Kane than any of our other centre halves have managed over the last few years.

The not very good on the ball bit is a bigger problem than the defending IMO. Everything starts at the back and our buildup is no bueno when he's there. Stones is our best and he compensated a bit, but we need the return of Dias-Stones partnership.
