6 | Nathan Ake - 2022/23

[youngbob]

Wild prediction that I'll probably regret throwing out there but when we played Palace at home and we went 2 down, Pep adjusted the setup and the left back in the three was Foden. It didn't get a lot of attention because it's not been repeated but I remember Dias pulling him round like he was on a piece of string and him being in the right spot to cross for Haaland's 2nd or 3rd (the header).

Laporte would be a more conservative or conventional choice but given Saka's pace I wouldn't be surprised to see Foden in that slot tomorrow.

Someone suggested Bernardo playing there again like he did at the Emirates.

Must have been an Arsenal supporter.

No thanks, Laporte can play there Grealish will just have to work his socks off

No questions asked about Ake in open part of press conference- strange

wonder if it's in the embargoed section. Pretty silly if not considering its our only injury question mark.

Nope not even in embargoed section apparently. These journalists are crap!

Too busy looking for a bullshit narrative

Sometimes the press officer tells them what Pep won’t answer questions on - plus he did tell them “no injuries” only 72 hours ago.

Even if he is back in training (and I'm dubious given the injury and the "recentness" (made up word alert!) of it, I can't see him taking any part tomorrow night. Not even on the bench. If he actually is doing light training, Pep might want to keep him for the Bernabeu game?

Instead of asking about Ake, they ask Pep his thoughts on Jesus and Zinchenko for the millionth time this season.
