Some people might miss your point, but I fully agree. Ake did very well yesterday, but if it was Gvardiol playing, people would judge him based on the fact that 90% of attacks were in that zone, and they were, if not more. They would be saying stuff like he must be bad because everything goes through that area, or why didn't he stop them? Some might deny it, but Gvardiol has been scapegoated countless times despite performing on a more or less excellent standard.

Our back 4 should consist of Stones, Dias, Ake, and Gvardiol. That's my opinion, anyway.
