I feel sorry for Ake being regarded as so dispensable.

You think it was a mistake buying him?Less so when we stuffed Leipzig 7-0.

No. Not seen enough of him to make a call either way, I would hope to see him grow into our team and playing him in position might be a start. Ake - although himself not a natural left back - looks more useful in that role.

Playing him out of position isn't doing him any favours in his first Premier league campaign

But this isn’t Joskos fault. Clearly there is something going on with Ake. Pep has mentioned several times this year he can’t play multiple games a week. He’s been very cautious about using him and visible concerned when he goes down. Why is this consistently being viewed as a negative treatment of Ake when it actually could be very thoughtful?I feel sorry for Ake being regarded as so dispensable.

Based on what I've seen, sorry Laporte is the better player talent wise. Decent passing range, solid against aerial threats and Oh, did I mention he could actually defend? You know, do what defenders are meant to do?The guy is as strong as an ox. What are you talking about? This has always been mentioned as one of his strengths.
Where was Laporte at his age? They are not even same planet talent/potential Wise.

You not remember Laporte dropping arguably the worst individual defensive performance this side of the takeover vs Tottenham?
He must be a virgoPlays like a fucking donkey...
Needs some slap in the head, like the many others...

Because people tend to jump to assumptions when slightly puzzling things go unexplaIned. Also, it’s not unusual for a manager to favour one guy over another who he regards as more dispensable. Not saying that’s the case here but nor would I rule it out.But this isn’t Joskos fault. Clearly there is something going on with Ake.
