#14 | Aymeric Laporte - 2020/21 Performances

[CmonCity92]

Doesn't deserve to be rotated with performances like that. I hope dias can rub off on stones and laporte enough so they can manage without him and we can rotate all 3 fairly. God knows how Ake fits in. I think we will see a back 3/5 more towards the end of the season if all remain fit and in good form.

I genuinely don't see how Ake fits into this team. Even on his best day, he's not better than Stones/Dias or Laporte.

Ake at the mercy of his very own “Johnny Boulders problem”. - everyone thought we needed him, most thought Stones was done. And like that, John thought ‘fuck it, I’m back baby’.

Ake may have to move on. I know this sound mad but stones has turned into the player we hoped. Dias will start most games with Laporte and John rotated. Unless Laporte wants out Ake may need to be sold to free up funds.

The more games Laporte plays the better he is getting. Very good performance today.

Excellent yesterday, just as he was against Everton before the international break. His discipline to hold the line and catch Vardy offside was top class.

We have 2 or 3 coming through the youth ranks that may soon be options for that 4th place.

Agree. He is too good a player to be 4th choice. The club tried to overcompensate due to the amount of injuries to centre backs which is understandable. The circumstances have changed due to no fault of his own.

Maybe swap for Saka at arsenal. They need a new defence.

Would we have signed Ake if Garcia had committed to staying? - I think Ake is the better player but maybe Garcia was good enough for the third/fourth choice centre back slot.

Saka is great,but i see him as a Sterling replacement and i dont think thats happening.......Id be using him as bait for Grealish.

Possibly but that ship has sailed. Maybe the club will hold fire until next season. He could still be needed for the run in but he need to get fit.
