#6 | Nathan Aké - 2021/22 Performances

[FromPollockToSilva]

Defensively he was a lot better today, but he’s so slow at moving the ball forward and that was a big problem for us

 

[K-Bo]

I cant recall a mistake and it doesnt feel like he was hugely to blame, but the amount of games where he plays and we dont win really starting to look unfavourable. Wonder if he'll be here next year tbh.

 

[city warrior]

He played as well as he could...at least with all his limitations. You cannot ask that much more from a 4th CB. It's a shame that international matches fuck us all the time with injuries.

 

[MaineDAWG2008]

Defenders peak late. He needs more experience.

Some of this shite about Ake is embarrassing for the lad.Once again he had another fine game and didn`t let us down but because he came from an unfashionable club he always gets the flack !!

 

[Gabriel]

Thought he played quite well but it’s difficult moving the ball faster through Cancelo when his instinct is to come inside.

 

[LongsightM13]

One of his better games for us since he signed, fair play. Especially after the week he has had.
It is weird though, as others have said, how he is usually on the premises when we are at our very worst, even if he isn’t directly responsible for anything in particular

 

[Metalartin]

I know he gets paid a lot but I think he deserves some love for standing up to be counted for the team when needed this past week, with all that has gone on in his personal life. He's giving his best and does seem to be showing signs of improvement.

 

[skillman]

He was goo today…defensively but that’s not enough in this team. You see the passing range and ability on the ball that Stones and Laporte bring and they’re in a completely different universe.

The majority, if not all, of our attacks start with the centre halves and when one of those isn’t brave or good enough on the ball then it shows unfortunately. We had the same with Garcia who was slow on the ball.

Not a slight on Ake at all, just an observation.

Very good performance yesterday.
