In today’s match, despite Manchester City boasting superior players and a stronger team, Wolverhampton Wanderers emerged victorious. The post-match analysis by Gabby Agbonlahor, a talkSPORT expert and former Aston Villa striker, shed light on Nathan Ake’s performance for Manchester City against Wolves. Agbonlahor was critical of Ake’s display, deeming it subpar during the game.
According to Agbonlahor, Ake had an off day, expressing that the player’s performance was among his worst in recent months for Manchester City. A particular area of concern was Ake’s struggle in defending against right-wingers, with Pedro Neto notably outplaying him. Ake’s vulnerability was evident during Wolves’ first goal, exposing a lapse in the City defense. Furthermore, there was room for improvement in the defense during Wolves’ second goal.
Despite the recent losses, optimism remains high for Manchester City’s comeback. The team, managed by Pep Guardiola, is expected to bounce back and perform better in upcoming matches. The EFL Cup loss to Newcastle United was a setback, followed by today’s defeat against Wolves. However, attention is now on the forthcoming fixtures against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League and Arsenal in the Premier League.
Looking ahead, there is confidence that Manchester City will defeat RB Leipzig and pose a formidable challenge to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Currently at the top of the Premier League table, City is still considered the favorites to clinch the title this year, demonstrating resilience despite recent setbacks. Pep Guardiola’s managerial expertise is anticipated to play a pivotal role in steering Manchester City back on the path to success.
