Yunus Akgün Officially Signs!

[HybridFox]

Liked his movement and passing today. One of the positives I suppose

Very good option.

[RowlattsFox]

Doesn't have the energy and all action style of KDH but he probably has a more consistent touch. Hard against Liverpool of course but was a bit slow to make his mind up at times and doesn't have the pace to run past players.

Good technical player. But very lightweight. He can flourish with us. But he needs to receive it in space and move it on quickly. If he gets closed down, he will just be manoeuvred off it.  

[TommyK]

I like him. Good touch. Can see a pass. 

 

He's a bit lightweight and has no pace. But I think there is a player there. 

[Tielemans63]

Thought he was very good tonight, however he wasn't up against a crazy low-block like he will be every week in the Championship. That's the conundrum we have, getting him into those games, as he clearly has talent.

[Ric Flair]

Curious one is Yunus. Played the majority of his career as a right winger, but bar his full debut vs Hull where he wasn't very good, he's played as an 8 and got better and better in recent weeks. Some say he's lightweight but the amount of times he also wins the ball when he's supposedly being lightweight is impressing me.

 

I'd like to see him run with the ball more. Enzo signed him because he was supposedly strong 1 v 1, but maybe they've quickly realised in the short term his skill at being efficient with the ball in close areas serve us better as an 8. Either way it was a good display tonight.

 

He weren't happy he came off though!!!

Which is good to see! He played decent. Casadei had a nightmare and couldn't deal with the pace all game. Yunus could, and can feel a bit hard done by because he was far from the worst offender.

[TJB-fox]

There’s a player there. Received the ball well tonight under tough pressing. Did give the ball away a few times but had limited options. 
 

I like him.

[South Shire Fox]

Looked much better tonight. Think he suits the 10 position far more then out wide

[st albans fox]

I’m not seeing as much as a lot of you are so I’ll keep my powder dry for a while yet 

[enmac]

Highest rated City player on fotmob. 

[Stevosevic]

He’s getting sharper and fitter.

 

Can see him starting games if Ndidi loses a bit of form.

To be fair it’s KDHs door he is knocking on. He is more skilful but doesn’t quite have the energy. The 2 can compliment each other. 

[baldeagle]

Still can’t fathom out who ever the Liverpool player was  that went through him late and  didn’t get a card .

Has to be the go to when at home to a defensive team. 

[egg_fried_rice]

His performance merits involvement at the weekend.

 

He was a much needed beacon of control and composure last night. I bet he could even do a job in the winks role.

 

Got plenty in his locker, just a slight shame he doesn’t quite have that extra lick of pace.

 

I think we’ll see some decent contributions from him this season - for me he’s way ahead of Casadei at present.

...Mavididi will get a lot of room with Blackburn being on the front foot!!!

Fatawu still looks like he will be a match-winner, but the end product is not there at the moment and we might seemingly have to wait for his contribution, somewhere down the line. He will start but McAteer will definitely be coming on pretty soon into the second half if Fatawu is still firing blanks.

  Would love to see Akgun as one of the 8's, he looks a bit of a schemer and we need that sort of creativity within the team.

My Gran would be ahead of CC at the moment... and she's been dead for about 60 years!

Bit harsh on Fatawu. I was expecting him to be very raw, but his decision making is surprisingly good. He could easily have had a number of goals and assists after his first few games for us,  if it hadn't been for poor finishing by others or hitting the post himself. He should also have won us a penalty last night, had it not been for poor officiating.
