I didn’t see the game last night but I’m guessing he looked the part yet again?

Do you think he’s still growing? Played brilliantly so far but I wonder if he could get physically bullied sometimes in the future?

The thing is in England we have this fixation on physicality within players. Of course it’s nice to have, but other countries but more emphasis on quality, and that’ll overcome everything if you’re good enough.

He knits the defence and midfield together which on the face of it isnt a flashy job but it’s absolutely vital in this step up

hes always re positioning himself to give the guy on the ball the option , he receives and gives very quickly and then moves again to progress us through the thirds

amazing game intelligence for an 18 year old kid

we look a better team when he’s in it

which gives Pep some serious decisions over the next few weeks

I also think Ake is our most reliable left back , which again will be interesting to see how that pans out

Rico is an outstanding talent with the world as his feet, what a breakthrough season this has been out of nowhere. Completely agree with all the above.

Ake is our best left back for sure and playing well but he is never a left back in the first place which shows when he goes forward, desperately need to buy one as we've been saying for years.

If there's one thing that should be apparent from his games so far, it's that this lad will not be bullied.

Same height as Philipp Lahm. He wasn’t bad either!

I’d be surprised if he isn’t in the next England under 21 squad at a minimum.

The Tottenham players tried to do a job on him last night. Numerous fouls from different players culminated with the stamp. They tried to bully him but as said above, he doesn’t seem the sort to be bullied.

With or without the hair?
