Can’t help but think he’s coming under some really unfair criticism in some quarters. Prior to his injury, he put in some really solid performances. Seemed to have worked his way into the side at LB, then picked up the injury on Boxing Day and hadn’t kicked a ball in 4-months since until yesterday, when again, he did well and nullified much of Raphina’s threat, not to mention carrying Mendy through the game during his time on the pitch. So unfair to categorically say “he’s shit” or “he isn’t good enough”, when he’s been so unlucky and hasn’t let us down when he’s played. By all accounts, he’s a great pro, really popular in the dressing room, (9 players picked for him in the captaincy vote, despite being there for 2 weeks). He’ll kick on next season and contribute much more.

He needs minutes, there is a hell of a lot of games to be played in a short period, an injury to Stones, Dias and we have issues.No way he should be starting today
A no brainer to give him the game time yesterday.
Your days must fly byI've had a good look at your history 540 in 9 years and you just moan and call all the players,I can smell a rag.

Not worth the risk with the Dortmund game coming up.
What is the risk? Not like he is prone to injury and he is what holds the defence together. Ake should be getting minutes off the bench. Too many changes were made which was taking liberties and we were punished for it.Not worth the risk with the Dortmund game coming up.

He's played the full ninety minutes across all three international games, then against Leicester and then against Dortmund. Running players into the ground will only end one way.
Gosh, blimey, your right. What should I write oh great and glorious one?Did you actually read what you posted? How on earth can you say that about someone who’s been out for so long
