25 | Manuel Akanji - 2022/23 Performances

[Akira]

Looked good. Love how he has fitted in the team almost seamlessly so far.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Played well in a game where he could have crumbled.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Not the most logical back 4 we have ever put out be he did fine. Clearly up to the job and speaks well in media stuff.

 

[Andouble]

Plays like he’s been here for years which is the best compliment I can give a CB in a Pep team.

 

[SJT]

Solid, makes you feel at ease. and a maths genius!

 

[richards30]

extremely good signing as it stands for only £15m!

 

[supercity88]

Absolutely brilliant again. His passing is fast and attacking and he has the pace to deal with situations well. He looked brilliant with Ake as well, they coped with a lot of good counter attacking play from Dortmund and couldn't do too much about their goal.

 

[kaz7]

Settling quite nicely

Other than two moments, he looked pretty good.

He got made to look a right Charlie when he slid in and Reus came back inside with the ball and nearly scored. Daft sliding in like that, even if Reus hadn’t turned as he did, that’s a recipe for giving a penalty away that sort of slide.

Also, seems like he could have headed their goal away for a corner by just leaning towards the ball but he just stood still and let it go past him.

But he was alright other than that. Seems quite good on the ball, seems to have a bit of pace.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Would love to have seen him attempt to "break the lines" with his passing ability, like Laporte does for us.

Even Akers had a few ranging pass efforts last night.
