25 | Manuel Akanji - 2024/25

Poor showing from him today. In the main his defending was good, decent aggression although he did get turned a few times quite easily that shouldnt be happening. So incredibly slow on the ball though, felt like we had walker on the pitch he was that ponderous.

I thought Manu was very good yesterday.

He covered the right-back area, when Rico pushed forward, as well as giving a solid performance across the middle, and worked well with Rúben.

His speed across the ground is a great asset.

Men in Blazers - a US based show - interviewed Akanji recently. There are a few clips on their Instagram account and I’m sure the full interview will eventually be posted on their YouTube. Nothing groundbreaking yet, but he’s always interesting and eloquent.

One of the best and most reliable defenders in Europe. We really have an exceptional plethora of options at CB.

Nobody was talking about Manuel Akanji as a great signing for anyone, never mind one of Europe's top clubs. Now, he is one of the best defenders in the Premier League. I love signings like this, and they must really p*** off the fans of other clubs: an added bonus.

He has fit into our system and way of playing so well that he has rarely seemed like a new signing.

Hence he has quietly gone unnoticed to other fans whilst also becoming a reliable defender.

I thought he was fine, but on their goal, I wish he'd at least attempt to get there and clear it off the line. I don't think he would have gotten there, but it certainly was close enough.
