I have to disagree. City win titles by turning defence into attack quickly, by breaking the press with 30 yard passes into midfield.But the benefit is we will be a lot more secure at the back with Ake rather than Cancelo playing. League titles are built on sound defensive play. We will still score enough goals but clean sheets are paramount.
This season with Ake and Akanji at the back we are far too slow to get the ball into midfield, they take too many touches then go square or backwards, in which time we’ve given teams time to settle into formation.
