#6 | Nathan Aké - 2021/22 Performances

[M16 citeh]

Was happy for ake to score. Do agree he looked a bit out og sorts defensively but I'm willing to give the lad time. He seems like he's a likeable guy and good character so usually the right profile for us. He's had a tough season so il give him a chance!

Entire back 4 minus Dias playing some of their first minutes of the season in their position, was never going to be as tight as you'd expect. Ake did okay overall. No better but no worse than the rest of the back 4.

None of the goals were directly and solely his fault. Dias is at fault more if you want to point fingers. 2 of their goals, the first and 3rd were just genuinely very good goals combined with multiple small lapses from us. Some people just need a boo boy. Did alright and will prove to be a very useful player.

Agreed. The fact that Ake is the vicinity when the ball goes in ignores the fact that the ball has traveled a long way to get there. All of the defenders could do better as a unit but so could the midfIeld and wide men in terms of working harder on their defensive duties.

This guy gets it.

It's a team game.

Just had a look at his stats. He's only played 16 games for us.

He is still learning after being injured his first season, he has to play to get better , no choice but to p!ay him last night and brilliant header

 

[Don Karleone]

Thoughts are with you, Nathan.

 

[Ric]

Must've been very difficult for him to play last night. Full respect to him for not only managing it but scoring as well.

 

[youngbob]

Jesus Christ! Takes some stones to go out there and play after something like that.

Must of been really hard for him. So sad he must be devastated. Thanks Nathan for efforts last night.

Heartbreaking news. Just goes to show you never know what's going on behind the scenes and we shouldn't always be so quick to judge a player based on one or two performances here and there. All the best to Nathan and well done on the goal and general performance. Showed a lot of grit and energy throughout. He looked so happy when the header went in as well, and his dad must have been very proud in those final moments.
