#14 | Aymeric Laporte - 2020/21 Performances

[ninjamonkey]

Rubbish first half, looked really shaky, kept dropping off aerial challenges and was underneath the ball numerous times. Complete opposite second half, a lot more assured, started to dominate more and made the extra man going forward carrying it and forcing them to come out to create gaps.

 

[Bobby Heaton Moor]

Took matters into his own hands tonight. Fantastic to see him contributing what we know he can. He's gonna be crucial for us going into the business end.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Really gutted that he was robbed of a great goal by a terrific save.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Looked short of confidence in the first half but really stepped it up in the last half an hour.

I know Dias and Stones have been nothing short of exceptional but we shouldn’t forget that Laporte is a top quality CB, too.

Really grew into the game.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Best since he came back overall.

 

[Ribchester]

Mark of a “real” great player is when your not at it from the start you go and find the game and play yourself into it, second half especially last quarter he took that game by the throat

 

[Withnail]

Looked back to his old self, especially in the second half. Not been easy for Aymeric since his return from injury, but he will continue to get games this season, although I like Pep feel Stones and Dias is our best cb pairing

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Superb all through the game , never gave an inch to Calvert and Richarlson who can be tricky players , there is nothing between Stones & Laporte , both are briliant players who take on the responsibilty of driving the team forward when required , we are blessed

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

The way he took initiative btonmake something happen as the game was slowly crawling to a draw was commendable.

Top game today

Genuine question: do you think that was Laporte taking initiative, or a tactical tweak from Pep?

Laporte suddenly being the extra man breaking forward was what shattered Everton’s very well-executed defensive plan and created the opener. I do wonder whether that’s something that has been worked on and implemented by Pep or whether Laporte just took it upon himself to drive into that space as Everton tired

Either way, ace
