6 | Nathan Ake - 2024/25

[Goldust]

Very good.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

best defender at the moment

 

[applejuice]

The only reason why we kept the score line decent

 

[Stoned Rose]

Class today.

Great to see him getting back to his best.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Still can't work out the first goal.
How did Ake end up in the middle and Akanji marking Salah

No clue at all.

How many games did you watch this season? I am asking because it's been happening every single game. 95% goals we conceded this season have been like that.

Every match bar Brighton and Bournemouth.
I can't get my head around how Ake was so far away from Salah.
It must have been 40 yards.

What is more alarming for me is we had two CBs, and a FB on five yards box line, plus GK and that ball still went through. And it was 'blocked' by Akanji.
But to be honest, after that second goal Feynord scored I just gave up, something is just so abnormal with this squad. We might get to know in a few years time on Amazon, The City: Unravelling.

Top class, underrated player. Top lad as well by all accounts.

Let’s hope he has a good extended run injury free now.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He was excellent but he’s a complete write-off. It doesn’t matter how good he is, if he’s never fit.

 

[MichaelBBack]

Heart broke when I saw him signalling to come off. So many players in this squad look like they're made of glass at the minute... I mean it's not surprising the amount of games they play but man, what a shame. Let's hope it isn't that serious.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Brilliant player but made of glass. Such a shame.

 

[WallyA]

FFS.

Simply cant rely on these glass players.

As good as he is, considering his age, we need to start future preparing this summer.

For him and Stones.

 

[Withnail]

Looked like a hamstring, real shame he played well tonight.

 

[city warrior]

With him and Stones, we will never be able to play the 4 CBs (which is by far our best defense). I think a CB is as urgent as a CM in January. It's a shame because they are both brilliant.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Our best one on one defender. Fitness is always a concern, it seems.

 

[Pedestrian]

Absolute nightmare for the lad if that’s a hammy.

[Chak19]

We've got two CB's who are extremely injury prone and a 34 year old past it RB, the defence constantly changing and no Rodri to protect it has really fucked things up.
