6 | Nathan Ake - 2022/23

[Gobshiight]

When Dias had a difficult few minutes in the first half, I thought, 'Thank fuck we've got Aké back there'

He's a brilliant defender, probably our most reliable

 

[ford7]

What a player!

 

[mosssideblue]

Great to see him back on the pitch. A solid and reliable presence

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

What a Player Nath’s turned into absolutely superb.

 

[SiMCFC]

To come back after an injury, play like he did and score the opener when we were struggling to create a great deal shows this guy's character, I hope he is rewarded at the end of the season, can't believe we were touting him in summer, he's been a revelation this season.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Glad he’s back and fit. Important rock in defence and a goal-threat up front.

 

[Dax777]

Top guy

 

[MaskedAguero10]

No words for him. Walker-Stones-Dias-Ake MUST be our backline against Madrid next week.

 

[butlerkb]

so happy for him, at first he must have felt he was a fill in signing and probably didn’t really feel part of it, but now he is regularly MOTM or near too and hopefully we win some silverware he can really feel part of.What a signing ( along with Akanji, similar thing).

 

[footballmanager]

why was he subbed early, did he injured himself again?

 

[kaz7]

why was he subbed early, did he injured himself again?

yes

 

[Kunlover]

why was he subbed early, did he injured himself again?

Yup but later today or tomorrow we will know if he can play vs Madrid.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Ake injury is a big loss .

 

[FantasyIreland]

One of our key players unfortunately,hopefully just precaution.

The trouble being,even if he is available for Tuesday,will the hammy going be playing on his mind?

 

[ford7]

Let's hope it's not too serious, but he was holding his hamstring...

 

[Andouble]

Questions to answer from sports scientists/medical teams how a guy just back from a hamstring strain was deemed ok to play 2 games in 4 days. Couldn’t believe when I saw his name on the team sheet today.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I hope it was just a precaution, so easy to aggrevate a hamstring, we need him

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Hope he's ok to start against Madrid, will be a big loss if he's out. The annoying thing is if we had taken just one of the several other chances we had then he might've been taken off early.

 

[St.Pauli support]

No idea why Nathan had to start, was no need vs Leeds. On the other hand, Nathan seems to be on a hammy run again and wouldn't have been over it next Tuesday anyway. Shame.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Did Pep say anything about Nathan?
