25 | Manuel Akanji - 2022/23 Performances

[OrigamiNinja]

He’s been a very good signing so far, but we see today that we have another CB on the books who can’t head a football.

 

[jollylescott]

I personally rate him fourth of our four centre backs. He doesn’t progress the ball as well as the others and lacks the aerial ability of the other three.

 

[Pedestrian]

Really poor game today. Looked heavy and slow.

 

[Goater=Legend]

He’d be one of the best defenders in the world if heading was banned from the game.

Guy is utter wank competing for headers.

Why would he play today then against someone like Toney?

Why would he play today then against someone like Toney?

Not sure, you’d have to ask Pep.

I don’t think he won a single header or second ball today though.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Been poor the last couple of games, dwells on the ball and goes back all the time

 

[DMA's]

Bad match up starting him v Toney. Should have been Dias

 

[K-Bo]

Yeah I think he's been on a downward trajectory after his electric start. His ball distribution is slow and got bullied physically today.

Not sure he should be in the team after WC.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Lack of aggression in his game today meant he got bullied, really poor and I don't think he won a single header. Should have switched with Stones. Have to be much better than that if he wants to play.

Or stones and put akanji right back. Stones is a beast in the air and quick.
