Every time I see Ake play, he's near faultless. Match fit, I wouldn't feel nervous about him stepping in for big/the biggest games. He's competing against ultra class CBs for a starting spot. Also a solid stand-in LB.Agree with last paragraph but mad that they cost well over 100 million, let that sink in.
Id be tempted to play him at LB in CL due to his combination of being good in possession and pace. I don't trust Zinchenko in the CL due to his lack of pace and Cancelo looks crap right now and Mendy is dud.Every time I see Ake play, he's near faultless.

Why do you think united are this mythical, unbeatable machine?? Since the 1st January they have dropped on average a point per game. If they keep that up we would only need 4 points to win the league. Add in the fact that they have struggled against the likes of arsenal, Sheffield United, palace etc and have leicester, Liverpool, Leeds and villa all to play and they are not picking up another 21 points.Sorry I meant league game

It's a lot of money for squad players.Mendy hasn’t really worked out, but injuries have clearly taken their toll. Ake has only been here for 8 months and has also struggled with injuries, whilst Torres has shown more than enough to justify the £21m we paid. Pretty sure you could take similar examples from other top 6 clubs, not sure what point you’re trying to make?
I couldn't give a fuck if those 3 cost 500m it's not my money. Leave the worrying to the press and every other jealous football fan.It's a lot of money for squad players.
We need to get better at keeping graduates or at least selling for a realistic fee.
Kelechi, Sancho, Garcia raised 33 million.
The 3 mentioned cost over £100 million
I think it's a fair point.
That's the thing though isn't it, match fitEvery time I see Ake play, he's near faultless. Match fit, I wouldn't feel nervous about him stepping in for big/the biggest games. He's competing against ultra class CBs for a starting spot. Also a solid stand-in LB.
Can only get match fit by playingThat's the thing though isn't it, match fit
It's a huge part of being a high priced footballer.
Yeah no mention of the PL cos they don't want to put them under pressure !Absolutely destroyed them mate, correct!
A lot of people saying Leicester have fell apart - today they were beat 3-2 by a really really good West ham (4th place) but because of covid breaches they had Maddison, choudhury and Perez dropped which is essentially their core engine room.
United have no chance of taking full points in the run in.
I had talkshite on the radio earlier and the discussion was have united sewn up their top 4 place, not a single mention of challenging for the league, not one. In fact the only mention of United challenging is in here
Problem is Ake isn't match fit yet.Id be tempted to play him at LB in CL due to his combination of being good in possession and pace. I don't trust Zinchenko in the CL due to his lack of pace and Cancelo looks crap right now and Mendy is dud.
