#6 | Nathan Aké - 2021/22 Performances

[Zabbasbeard]

I think the question is if he's okay being potentially 4th choice? My gut says no and he'll ask for a transfer in the summer. I remember in his introduction interview he said he doesn't drink alcohol so he has no regrets at the end of his career or something along those lines. I'm sure he want's to be playing much more than he is.

I suspect he will move this coming summer and fair enough if he isn't getting the game time he desires. He is clearly a very decent lad who doesn't moan and is well liked and respected in the dressing room and beyond.

 

[Keeper!]

A very good pro and very decent player but nothing more to me.

Too good to be only playing a handful of games a season, yet not good enough to be a regular in this side.

 

[Vicious111]

Looked like our weak link first half. Can't keep the ball and doesn't have the passing ability or mentality as the other defenders do. Looks a bit cumbersome, slow and uncomfortable.

 

[TonyM]

I thought he was great all game.

 

[DAGW]

Magnificent today. Really really good. Far more solid than Laporte who had a couple of wobbly moments. Saved a goal and didn’t get torn to pieces by the pace of Saka.

We might have 4 CBs that can rotate…

I’m baffled to read this. We saw that match differently - fair play though *shrugs*

 

[mdj0520]

Two in a row where he's arguably up for man o the match

 

[Don Karleone]

You beautiful bastard Nathan

 

[mosssideblue]

Another good game. Great clearance to save our embarrassment.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Great squad player.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Where do you want your statue, Nathan?

Next to Rodri’s?

Gedaan.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Superb again. I notice he gets pulled up for things that don't get mentioned when others do the same. He was brilliant, Pep will name check him this week.

Well this is bullshit.

 

[mccity]

There was an interesting period after the red card where his physical presence high up was really useful for maintaining pressure.

 

[Franny 1234]

Thanks for another solid performance and a great clearance. CTID

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Very good second half performance. I enjoy his ruggedness and determination, he’s a fighter

 

[WallyA]

Slowly imposing himself.

That clearance could be vital at the end of the season.

 

[Goater=Legend]

He had a good game, there was people blaming him for the Saka goal which was harsh

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

He's trying, he's a level below in this squad but he tried and he made a match-changing save. Hopefully that's his Stones moment and he gets tons of confidence from here.

 

[youngbob]

Deserves a run. Struggled a bit in the first half but got himself together in the second and saved the game.

 

[kaz7]

Struggled a bit but what a goal line clearance , well done kid
