I’d start him again at Everton alongside Dias. Keep everyone fresh for the next few months.

Laporte is a great talent - can we keep Dias, Stones and Laporte happy? I hope so.

The last 2 years has proved that 3 top class CBs are necessary to cover injuries and loss of form, preferably 4Laporte is a great talent - can we keep Dias, Stones and Laporte happy? I hope so.
Add to that the fixture pile up and having a spare can mean someone having a break now and then

Couldn't agree more - especially since one top CB is likely to be injured or to experience a temporary drop in form.The last 2 years has proved that 3 top class CBs are necessary to cover injuries and loss of form, preferably 4

Hopefully Dias, Stones and Laporte can live with some sort of rotation - not always starting in big big games. I'd hate to lose any of them.

Knowing that Cancelo would operate almost entirely centrally, it made sense to play a natural left-footer in Laporte who would be comfortable playing wide a lot of the time. Still a bit rusty and/or learning the specifics of that role
I'd say he was more than a bit rusty. Thought he was all over the place defencively and passing. Foden, sterling, rodri, cancelo all got frustrated with him he passed to no one so many times.
He'll be back, he's class. But he's a rotation player at the moment and no indication that should change.

It’s incredible how people do divide and fall isn’t it?
He’s a class player and we are fortunate to have 3 CBs of the standard we do. He will play a lot of games, the congestion of fixtures will see to that.
Thought he played well tonight, couple misplaced passes, but otherwise sound.

To think that for the last few seasons he's supposedly been our everything, but he's now a bit part player. Never would've saw that coming. Shaping up to be eerily similar to winning the title with KDB being a non-entity in 2018/19.
Goes to show that it's rarely the personnel. They're the pawns in this game. Managers and football administrations cop the heat for losses, and rightly so.

good to see him back a bit, he's needs minutes to stay sharp. He was all over the shop for the Everton goal, completely out of position for the cross and then didnt react when it came back in. This comes with being on the bench so much probably, so it's good he is getting game time heading towards the important end of the season
