Good comparison. Another defender who couldn't sort his feet out right and ended up with the all-time OG record for a reason.
Ake is far too noticeable in the back line simply because he doesn't squeeze the play, likes to hang back, probably because he doesn't trust himself.
Maybe it is confidence, because Stones was doing exactly the same during his downturn, refusing to take responsibility and being exposed one on one?
But we knew Stones could do it, Ake has no such pedigree and wish we had held on to that £40m.
