#14 | Aymeric Laporte - 2020/21 Performances

[mccity]

Same as I posted in the Mahrez thread. Nothing wrong with wanting more game time. I think reading beyond that is unnecessary.

Started to get his swagger back in the second half with a few lovely defensive touches. Few more games in his legs and we’ll start to see the best of him again.

I thought he looked the good defender we all know he his. Looks ever so slightly uncomfortable on the ball when he finds himself at LB.

 

[mccity]

I think him being picked at LB for what I presume was his height turned out to be a bit superfluous, although it was good to see him get minutes.

Although I think he looked really really good once he went to CB. I don't think we should underestimate how physically large he is.

Noticed a really high quality recovery sliding tackle, towards the end of the second half in our own area, facing our own goal line. Took me a while to figure out who it was but it was Runeneque.

Had a good game tonight.

 

[jimharri]

Hard to judge him (or any of the defence, being honest) on that game tonight. They won't have much quieter games. Burnley missing their two battering rams (Barnes and Wood) tonight.

 

[Withnail]

Played well tonight, think he might get the nod for LB on Sunday. I seem to recall in the 0 - 0 when Mahrez missed the penalty he was at LB and he totally snuffed out Salah.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Hopefully Pep plays him sunday at LB

 

[WestGorton]

Might be a three from now on with right or left back cutting in. Laporte had a very bad injury and it takes time mentally too.
