25 | Manuel Akanji - 2022/23 Performances

[nicko]

Wow! He was brilliant tonight. Fantastic performance. What a signing!

 

[youngbob]

MOTM tonight. Fucking fantastic.

 

[Woody135]

I had doubts early on but christ what a player. Seems much more comfortable in a fullback 1 on 1 role and hes incredible at it

 

[blue moony]

I owe him an apology


He's proves me wrong

Absolute bargain of the century....

 

[moomba]

Superb, had my doubts but he was exceptional.

 

[waspish]

2nd behind Kev for motm for me and he looks well better on the left

 

[teddypaul]

Congratulations to our scouting system , what a player this guy is , looks like he has been here for years

 

[SalfordGrimble]

Superb, a bargain, surely he can’t have been this good at Dortmund. We seemed to have a free run at him…

Credit has to go to Pep, remember when the media jumped on the fact he doesn’t teach tackling, now look at our defence.

 

[Revolver]

I stuck up for him back in the early days at City as I thought he needed time to adapt and fans time to judge. He always seemed comfortable on the ball.

Currently playing better than I thought he would.

PS : It’s once in a blue moon I make such a good judgement.

 

[Pepball93:20]

Our scouts are phenomenal, WOW.

 

[Banshee]

Simply excellent tonight, like he played there every week

 

[Chak19]

He looks better at FB than CB, right or left, never put a foot wrong and his passing was superb, brilliant lately.

 

[mancyank41]

I’m sometimes critical of Akanji but bloody hell he was brilliant tonight. Absolutely outstanding. What an astute signing. He has lapses now and then but for the most part he’s very solid.

After KDB and Erling, Akanji is MotM.

 

[MillisleBlue]

Where’d Saka go? Oh hang on, he’s in Manuel’s pocket.

 

[US47Blue]

Absolutely brilliant.

Just another signing that the “City have unlimited pockets” crowd will refuse to acknowledge as it doesn’t fit their agenda.

17mil for this guy is grand theft robbery.

 

[mosssideblue]

Absolutely brilliant tonight, as they all were

 

[Josh_D]

He’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s gone about his business and done wonderfully.

Anyone seen Saka?

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I posted last week I suspected he'd play there ahead of Laporte. If he's able to play outside back on either side of the 3/4 to that level, he'll find himself getting a lot of game time over the next couple of years

 

[Haaland94]

Saka nowhere to be seen, take a bow, Manuel.

 

[hcblue95]

Was absolutely quality tonight.
