25 | Manuel Akanji - 2022/23 Performances

[Bournemouth Blue]

This guy was a bargain! I thought Ake would be a big miss tonight, but Akanji did the job flawlessly

 

[SouthernPlastic]

Brilliant. Never doubted him.

 

[pride in battle]

For me Man of the Match, absolutely incredible, we are blessed.

 

[cookster]

Brilliant tonight @tolmie's hairdoo sorry you're wrong bud, he's a great squad player.

 

[Turner92]

Not many people can come into a pep side and do what he’s doing in their first season

 

[jimharri]

He proved me wrong. Before the game, I said I'd have preferred Laporte in the XI over Manuel. What do I know?

 

[SamTheGuru]

Akanji baffles me, he is like chalk and cheese from a few games to the next. He has been our biggest liability for several games and then puts in a performance like he did this evening. Like I said, I cannot make him out.

 

[pee dubya]

What a performance and player!

Honestly, I was sceptical having seen him make regular cock ups at Dortmund, but he's been absolutely brilliant.

First season, shunted around all over the place, made it look like a piece of piss.

 

[aguero93:20]

Mad ****. Plays right at his limits which is risky in his position but when he's on it he is fucking amazing.

 

[Metal Biker]

He had a rocky mid-season, but he's showing the form that made everyone's eyes widen when he first joined.

He will only get better with more time and experience under his belt, so long as the negative nancies don't try and destroy him first.
