Good supplementary player to go alongside a leader AKA Dias, but when he’s in alone he can’t steady the entire ship. The whole defence looks wonky as fuck without Dias. I rate Laporte, but Dias has already superseded him.
Some proper reactionary bollocks about Laporte. He’s clearly nowhere near his best at the moment but fuck me for two seasons he was sensational and a major part of us getting 100 points and then 98 points. In 18/19 we conceded 4 goals in the last 14 games with him and Kompany to win the league by a point. He also had a brilliant spell playing alongside Stones before Stones got injured.
Dias is obviously brilliant but you can’t say he’s superseded Laporte until he is a big part of at least one league winning season (hopefully a few months from now).
Also, Laporte and Dias are completely different types of centre backs so fuck knows why FantasyIreland has said Dias is what he was hoping Laporte would be. Dias has much more similarities to Kompany and Laporte with Stones.

You’ve just answered your own question I think.

At the moment he's superseded Laporte.
 
I love seeing Stones back in form but does anyone else want to see what in form Laporte and Dias partnership looks like in terms of team balance?

It’s completely irrelevant at the moment because Laporte isn’t anywhere near his best and he can’t stay fit. I know what you mean though, from the first 5 mins of seeing Dias I was buzzing at the prospect. They are absolutely perfect for each other but Stones is deserving of the place and if he stays fit I don’t see that changing for the whole season. Unfortunately with Stones there’s every chance he’ll pick up an injury somewhere along the line.
