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.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 I rate Laporte, but Dias has already superseded him.
Dias is obviously brilliant but you can’t say he’s superseded Laporte until he is a big part of at least one league winning season (hopefully a few months from now).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.
