I wasn't really, but it's an option. I think people are writing Ake off too absolutely, as if he's completely finished. He was fine against Sunderland, from what I saw, and he's still a skilled reader of the game, and that counts when pace starts to go a bit. He'll go in the summer, but can still do a job till then. Central defence of Ake and Khusa seems good enough to me. Rodri and Nico G in midfield is much more solid than one or the other, where Chelsea were visibly slicing through us towards the end.
Something I'm not clear about: is Nico O'R fit or not?
