6 | Nathan Ake - 2022/23

[Haaland94]

Yeah, I love Nate, so I was disappointed to see him in the first 11 today after his MOTM performance on Wednesday. There was really no need for that, IMO. I fear Tuesday might come a little early for him. We also cannot have a semi-fit player versus the Madrid wingers. Let's hope for the best, though, maybe he is fine and it was just a precaution.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I hope this was a precaution, hopefully he will be fit for Everton and the remaining fixtures.

Think he just felt a twinge and decided to come off before making it worse. Think if it was 0-0 or 1-1 he'd have stayed on but knew he could come off with it being 2-0.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

For me he is the most improved player of the season, and deserves that recognition.

If it wasn't for Haaland, he'd certainly be in with a shout for our player of the season. If there's 3 or 4 nominees for the award, he has to be one of them.

Hope he is ok.

 

[mexico1970]

Ake has been superb for us, hope all he has is a niggle and nothing serious.

 

[Cobwebcat]

If he isn’t ok we will just play the team that beat Arsenal

 

[deano ou812]

Hope we don’t risk him if not fully fit wouldn’t like to see either of the Madrid speed merchants one on one with him,give him a rest and hopefully all good for Everton ..

 

[Plain Speaking]

I was nervous about him playing so much after his hamstring injury, I said before Saturday's match:
"Last time he did pulled his hamstring, after a rest for a number of weeks, he came back played 2 matches then did it again and was out for months" (see graphic below), we need to nurse players back gradually after hamstring injuries!
