6 | Nathan Ake - 2022/23

[Didsbury Dave]

He’s been consistently brilliant for us.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Trust him to be up against Saka. Great defender

 

[wolviedinho]

Best form for City. Delighted he did not move in the summer. The lb is a problem area that he is taking care of at the min.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Very impressive form, keep it up Nathan!

 

[SWP's back]

Quietly becoming one of our most consistent defenders.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Starting to see a bit more quality from him on the ball too. He played a great ball over the top for Haaland to go one-on-one with Lloris against Spurs which Erling really should have done better with, and he also slipped Gündy through for the penalty against Wolves with a lovely weighted pass in behind

 

[Keeper!]

Having a outstanding season, superb and very consistent.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Always had faith in Ake - glad he's been given playing time to prove me right.

 

[coliotte]

I like this guy
i even named my new kitten after him

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Love him! Amazing attitude. Tries his best always. Plays really good at both left-back and centre-back. One of my favourite players at the moment. If we were in the CL final now I’d start him.

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

So you seriously think that Ake is the main reason we are conceding so many goals? He has been one of our best defenders this season. What a load of utter shite you are spouting and thank god you are not our manager.

Correction ‘our best defender’

 

[mosssideblue]

Fantastic player, glad we have him.

 

[pride in battle]

Reserving judgment until we play Arsenal, we seem to have a lot of room on the left side of the back 4 which Arsenal can exploit, this is a game he just needs to defend as the main threat is from Saka, I love his commitment and if he can keep Saka quite it could give us the basis to beat them.

Pussy-Ake?

 

[Sir peace frog]

there's definitely a change of system, i've not seen the experts come out and say it or even bluemoons tactical geniuses ,ake has done really well as left back or rather left very wide centre back, same with john stones ,right very wide center back, we've changed to a back 3 a very wide back 3 ,rico pushed into midfield to help rodri but can switch in game to a rb,same with ake he just slips back into left back

 

[Silva2021]

Gone from a couple of seasons to a worry when I saw his name, to now a worry when I do not.

Spoke to a Bournemouth fan just after he signed for us and he was delighted for him and said we got a cracker.

Took me a bit to realise, but spot on and also you can see he is the type of player that you like to do well.

 

[nickamon]

Forget about the goal, a beauty btw, but had Saka on lock!

 

[samuelyeboah]

have we.. have we actually kinda found our long term left back?

 

[Damien10]

He’s so good.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

That was his best performance in a City shirt. Kept Saka quiet all game and was MOTM before the goal. The goal was just the icing on the cake.
