6 | Nathan Ake - 2022/23

[Hart of the Matter]

Those who thought he isn't City standard can fuck off... And then keep fucking off until they can fuck off no further...

 

[Banshee]

Solid again, dependable

 

[skillman]

Brilliant today

 

[RayCTID]

A very useful player to have in the squad

 

[Withnail]

So glad we kept Ake, hardly put a foot wrong today and looked very solid. We are luck we have 4 top class cb's.

 

[hammocity]

He’s a great character and never gives less than 100%, I for one appreciate the lad, hate the criticism, no need.

 

[Dax777]

9/10 performance. Cannot be dropped on current performance. Stonesy would have to wait or sub in for Dias. Sorry!

 

[blue ranger]

Thought he was brilliant today and seems a great guy. Well done

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

Great defender. Just wish he had a better passing range.

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

Brilliant game today .

 

[mdj0520]

Thought he was the better of the two today tbh

 

[Lavinda Past]

Very watchable player. Gave a commanding performance today, never looked remotely flustered. Will grow in confidence if playing regularly.

Glad we kept him, he's a step above Laporte imo.

 

[Dodgy Gangster]

He was our best defender for the last couple of months of last season and he’s carried his form into this season. He was always in the right place today, such an intelligent defender. Love the way he’s grown in confidence too and doesn’t hesitate to have a word with team mates when necessary

Well done City for rejecting Chelsea’s derisory offer for him. If Cuca’s worth 62m to them then Ake should be worth 80m.

He actually had a couple of good line breaking passes that surprised me.

There was a moment in the last 10 or 15 mins where in our half he slid a ball to Bernie who was the highest player up the pitch and Bernie did not expect it, but that was a good chance wasted by Bernie and done well by Ake.

He was better than Dias imo.

 

[bobmcfc]

Honestly not sure why he felt he wouldn't get games, he's solid.

 

[WestGorton]

First class

 

[Legal Alien]

9/10 performance. Cannot be dropped on current performance. Stonesy would have to wait or sub in for Dias. Sorry!

Yep, i said in the post match thread "if Ake keeps playing like that it will take him getting injured for him to lose his place"

 

[Legal Alien]

He was better than Dias imo

Ake played really well but I wouldn't go that far.
Ruben is the man and looked back to his first season form and fitness.

Ruben made 2 mistakes i didnt like. Ake was better this game, im not saying overall.

 

[DMA's]

He looks totally at home now and his performances continue to improve. So glad we kept him
