25 | Manuel Akanji - 2022/23 Performances

[skillman]

This is why he starts. He has the some ‘balls’ that Pep has always lauded Stones for when he’s playing out from the back. Confident in his (/their) ability to entice a press to then play out of it and free space up top.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Ive been a critic of him in the past, but i have to say he was brilliant tonight. Stood up tall and was switched on throughout.

Fantastic fron Manu, stood up to the battle whilst on a booking

 

[SebastianBlue]

Quite a few from the pre-match thread off the forum eating their third helping of humble pie right now.

After the 30th min Akanji dominated his duels, plaudits to him

 

[Don Karleone]

I like him and feel there are more performances like that in him.

 

[BLUEisville]

15m.
Imperious.

 

[city warrior]

Great today. A little nervous the first 15 min, but after that he was flawless and agressive. A steal for 15m

 

[walker_is_faster]

Best game he played in City shirt.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Some doubted him before the game , cut solid as a rock , give the lad some credit.

 

[RayCTID]

Accomplished tonight and hopefully he can replicate that level in the return fixture

 

[yankblue]

He was fantastic tonight

 

[oldius]

He has been a really good signing and is improving all the time. As always, be patient with new players. Well done tonight, great performance.

 

[Millennium]

I normally don't trust him, but tonight he did well except in one occasion. In overall he played well.

 

[Chak19]

Well he certainly shut my mouth tonight, imperious.

 

[JDV]

Really strong tonight

 

[Brad mcfc]

Shown exactly why we signed him, really impressive.

 

[OB1]

Underrated.

 

[Legal Alien]

He played really well tonight, i guess Pep does know what he's doing.

Yeah he seemed a little shaky for the first bit, but then was great after that.
