6 | Nathan Ake - 2022/23

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Amazingly dealt with Saka and chipped in with a goal.

Very obvious what we miss defensively when we play Cancelo there.

Nathan Ake baby!

 

[domalino]

Would probably get MOTM for his defensive performance vs Saka or the goal alone.

The fact he did both made it impossible to suggest anyone else,

 

[Goldust]

can we just give him the left back spot and coach him to become offensively better. Saka didn’t get a sniff and he’s probably one of the most in form wingers in the world

 

[chris85mcfc]

Brilliant again

 

[oldius]

What a great performance from a gentleman of a player.

 

[BLUEisville]

Gone from a couple of seasons to a worry when I saw his name, to now a worry when I do not.

One of the first names on the team sheet for me, which 6 months after we signed him I'd never have believed.

 

[Skyblue98]

fantastic

 

[Banshee]

100% tackles won, 91% passing and a goal...excellent

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Been out best player this year behind Erling and Rodri.

 

[jimharri]

He's never let us down. A brilliant purchase.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Saka had no chance tonight, Ake read his game and shut him down.

Hes had a brilliant season.

Pep: “No one in the locker room won’t be happy for Nathan. Well, maybe not…”

Weird thing to correct himself on and perhaps a bit of an insight into the issues he’s having to deal with right now.

Cancelo being the maybe not

Cancelo?
Heard rumors he's being the Cancelo of old

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Cancelo being the maybe not

Yeah, Cancelo is surely the prime suspect here.

 

[Chak19]

He's always been solid defensively and tonight was no different, if he also contributes offensively that makes him an undisputed starter at LB.

 

[PragueBlue]

Wonderful performance. He and Grealish starting to get a good understanding down our left side, both defensively and going forward.

 

[lancs blue]

Yeah, Cancelo is surely the prime suspect here.

He's got nothing to moan about, his form has dropped off a cliff this season.

 

[Lauz9888]

Love the fella. He's so reliable defensively.

Cracking finish, as well!

 

[nellyonthewing]

He had a great night and with Akanji then Laporte alongside him he looked strong. Its in a 3 or with a gaping hole down the left where Cancelo should be he looks weak.
