25 | Manuel Akanji - 2022/23 Performances

[Gobshiight]

He's a good, reliable 7/10 performer every week. Sometimes 8/10. But with Stones and Laporte back fit, he should really be on the bench because we need better

Never 7/10. 6 at best. Take the blue tinted spectacles off. Watch him closely. Passes are sideways or backwards. Loses numerous headers. Loses possession regularly in dangerous positions. Should be 5th choice centre half at best. I’ll support him when he pulls the shirt on but he really isn’t a good defender.

I stand by 7/10 because we need 9s and 10s

I thought he played very well today, but I guess I'm in the minority. I'll have to give it a rewatch

I really don’t understand how he keeps getting game time. He’s a liability. Pep obviously sees something that I don’t, but it does baffle me. His passing is average, he panics when he’s pressed, he’s weak in the air and he’s not the quickest. Maybe I’m not seeing his true value but he really slows us down and in my opinion makes us weaker defensivel.

That’s probably why pep is a top manager and hmmm your are not

 

[Stelea]

I hate putting a downer on a strong win but the performance from Akanji was awful. This is probably the third time in a row he has played like this.

Hopefully now Stones is fit, he can resume his partnership with Dias. Not holding my breath though

 

[Claytop]

He was fine today, still rather see Stones & Dias together but Pep obviously a big fan.

Yep, 100% correct but I’m entitled to my opinion, just like ‘your’. Agree to disagree, that’s the beauty of football.

I appreciate it's all about opinions, but to say he was awful today is well OTT

 

[cleavers]

It’s all about opinions and mine is no more important than the next man/women.

But I don’t get the dislike of the player on the forum ( I appreciate it’s not personal)

Nor do I, I thought he was fine tonight apart from one stupid free kick.
