Said it in the match thread - if that’s Dias in front of Ziyech then he throws his whole body in the way and blocks it. None of this half-arsed turning of the back like he’s scared of it hitting him. It’s not the first time either.
He’s obviously quality in most aspects but it’s stuff like that why he isn’t first choice when the other two in front of him are doing what he is doing and more.

Awesome!Marca are reporting that following the request of Luis Enrique and Rubiales (head of the Spanish FA) Laporte is going to be allowed to play for Spain and will be immediately called up.

I think Stones, Walker and Zinchenko have all really bought into Dias' full throttle, die before you concede mentality, and Laporte hasnt yet... but that doesn't mean he wont ever.
I can imagine a scenario where Laporte gets an extended run and it sparks in him too. For the others it seemed to be the League Cup derby that really bonded them.
Also I think it takes a while to get over a big injury and he'll probably be better next season.
Nope, never.Hasnt he played for france At senior level?

Wow. Congrats to him but I was hoping he would have a summer off, in fact I hope every City player is not called up for the Euros so they can all get a nice holiday.

The turning of the back by Laporte was very ordinary by him. Apart from that he had a decent game.Said it in the match thread - if that’s Dias in front of Ziyech then he throws his whole body in the way and blocks it.
