Wow -touched a nerve there didn't I. Maybe a Football Forum is not a 'safe space' for someone so easily offended at any hint of criticism of a multi millionaire footballer who couldn't give a fuck what you or I ever say on here.
I’m not sure this is the case. The Athletic does these charts for a lot of games and they almost always show a pretty even distribution to the players around him. Rodri is in the middle and gets a lot, but that’s the case with every player and probably at the direction of Pep. I attached screenshots from two games here. Also, you can see the most valuable passes are always to the players on the left (valuable meaning most likely to create).
so first you accuse him of ignoring other players and passing to kova instead, now he’s ignoring the player to his left? and he’s doing all that while the best coach on the planet and his staff are watching?
Does he? I'm a big fan of his but Ake gets the nod for me at left back if he's fully fit. No shade on josko, just that extra stability and experience from Ake makes him the better choice.
I think Gavrdiol might be better suited to that role Akanji has been playing in Stones' absence at CB. Really comfortable on the ball and he has that ability to move forward and into midfield much more naturally than Akanji which for the best will in the world is a stretch for him.
