25 | Manuel Akanji - 2022/23 Performances

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Just watching the game back. How good was Akanji's timing on his tackles? I don't think he's got it that right in any other game this season. And against tricky, speedy players.

Proved me wrong, cheapeu Manuel what a performance

 

[skillman]

Really, really like him personally. He has every attribute needed to be a top class centre back plus his mentality seems brilliant as well.

Last night was a masterclass in aggressive, front-foot defending.

Thought it was a top hat performance, myself, but to each their own!

 

[Norman kneejerk]

That role as the right side of a 3 helps him use his power and comfort on the ball but has less last ditch defending there. Think it suits him.

 

[MCFC1993]

That was his best game in a City shirt, simply superb. He was aggressive and the timing of his tackles in the main was spot on.

 

[Revolver]

I know once or twIce he got skinned (which can happen to any full back against speed merchants) last night but I thought especially on the ball he was good last night.

Erm do Madrid have any fast wingers ?

 

[Akira]

Very unlucky with that pen. Even the commentators felt aggrieved for him.

 

[Gundoggin]

Fabulous signing. Just fitted right in from the word go , takes some doing that !

Thought he was excellent last night, made me eat my words
