Laporte shits the bed against Spurs.

Didn’t do a thing wrong, would have been a very bad day if he’d been as bad as his teammates!

 

[ninjamonkey]

Holding us together at the back at the minute. Another game where he was dependable and solid throughout. Does his role, and does it very well. Now our most important defender for the remainder of the season. We're fucked if he gets injured.

Ake has to play as LB - not LCB vs Saka in the middle of this week.

All Arsenal threat currently came from the combination play from their right hand side. We cannot risk Rico there.

Ake on the left, Walker on the right. Two fit CB in the middle. That is the winning back four vs Arsenal. Trust me Pep!

Yes. Ake - Dias - Akanji - Walker for me

Ake has been our best defender this season by a country mile. Thought Stones was coming into a rich vein of form, too, before he went down again. That lad just can’t buy a break!

Ake just takes care of his business, no matter what Pep tells him his business is that match.

To show that we’ve not been right this season, Nathan Aké has the sixth highest minutes-per-goal ratio in our team this season and is our joint sixth highest goalscorer with 2 goals.

Haaland, 70 minutes per goal (31 goals)
Álvarez, 146 minutes per goal (9 goals)
Mahrez, 166 minutes per goal (10 goals)
Foden, 174 minutes per goal (9 goals)
de Bruyne, 717 minutes per goal (3 goals)
Aké, 831 minutes per goal (2 goals)

Superb, again. Such a good, sharp defender.

 

[01cravend]

Saka was having a good game.... Then Ake moved to LB

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Superb, absolutely superb. I actually think that kind of game suits him…just defend. Fantastic.

 

[city warrior]

Superb is just his level this season. Dias Stones Ake Walker and we conceed at most 1 goal every 3 matches.

 

[oldius]

Top notch defender and man.

 

[domalino]

He's just a monster.

I would love to see an Aké-Dias CB partnership have a run at some point (when we have a LB).

 

[handsofstone]

One of the first names on the team sheet

He is so dependable at CB or LB, he may not be the "best in the world" but he's what we need, a guy who'll give 7/10 week in week out

 

[CityDean]

I've always been one of his biggest fans and he continually shows me why. Quality defender. Saka pocketed twice in a few weeks. One of our players of the season.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Majestic.

 

[skillman]

Absolutely phenomenal again!

Saka must be sick of him

 

[Uwe's 80s mullet]

Love him

 

[meeesh]

Shirks away from nothing,credit to the club this lad

 

[super_city_si]

pocketed Saka when moved the left back. Should have been there from the start.
