He is - pretty close to Kyle. Physically that lad is something else.

Correct. Josko's top speed is about 33.5 km/h versus Ake's 31km/h. Surprised to see Akanji ahead of Ake, though.

City will sit and trap them.

Not fair on them?what
They will.be buzzing realistic chance there gonna get minutes

Its a lot of responsibility if things dont go well tonight. They will no doubt be buzzing, but that is a different discussion.

Another good game for Gvardiol to fully acclimatize. Akanji probably gets the nod due to his height.

And yet hes the worst defender we have when the balls in the air

Selfish little me hadn’t thought about the Newcastle fans getting home after this game. Just read (on the BBC website) that the last train home leaves at 9.32 and the National Express coaches would be via Glasgow so not home until 5.25 am!!
FA need to think properly about the fans.
