Korea 734 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Really dont understand why he doesnt get any run for CC games at least....He played in europa and epl games last season. Also, he can actually run, not like the other 3. mac.bo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Not sure what's happened to him to be honest. Looked impressive last season but seems to have stalled somewhat. Maybe they're targeting him for a loan in January but he seems to have fallen behind Kalas in the pecking order for defence. mac.bo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 i think he himself made it clear what we are doing with him. this is his 3rd year in CFC, so as to make him classify him as homegrown (cl-wise). also he has been doing great in the reserves and the CL-youth league. honestly i feel playing in youth-CL in 100 times better than playing in a championship side.

Korea 734 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 It be great if we had mobility in our CMs....Something we dont besides Rambo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 If our attacking mid's weren't so young, i would say playing him next to Rami would be worth a shot. mac.bo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I honestly would like to see him be given a run of games in the pivot. He can't be bad as some of the other players that have been put in that position and everytime he has played for us I have been impress, even if it was just in cup games.Of course since he is not a 30 year old he will not be considered because of his 'lack of experience' even if the supposedly experienced players are playing like crap in the pivot. mac.bo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Mourinho may just not be a fan of him, like Rafa clearly was. Although I'm surprised he hasn't looked at utilising him, Swift or Baker as a 5th option in midfield now MVG's out for the season.

Korea 734 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think its more cause of his age.......and his bromance with lampard.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Fresh legs from the youth would be useful in the pivot... mac.bo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Just to be clear guys: He is a CB. He played a role last season because we were thin at CM and Benitez liked him. He's been playing at CB since then and will continue to play there. Oh, and he is certainly not solution to all our problems. He's just 18.

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Doubt he'll stay as a CB though,His future is in midfield imo. mac.bo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always played at CB before last season. He might move to CM in the future due to his lack of physical attributes, but he is hardly the solution to our current problems at CM.

His skillset lends itself well to that midfield role as demonstrated last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we do have Mikel and Essien should replace Frank before Nathan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ake has something called legs...Something essien, lampard nor mikel have. He can actually press and win/intercept balls. he would put less pressure for rambo to do all the legwork along with oscar.

Korea 734 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I said this last season as well, Ake would be better than anyone save Rambo as a cm. I really hope Jose give Ake some run in either the CC or FA cup games.. I wait for the day to see Luiz-Willian-Ake mac.bo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
