He didI personally thought he had a good game.
I think his passing is overrated. But that's just me. He has a decent crossfield ball. But other than that his passing is loose or telegraphed.Laporte is very important in terms of building up. His is able to pass under pressure. His pass found Grealish at the perfect moment and became the start of Grealish's run. A player underappreciated.

He takes fewer risks. That's why. The few times he does, it's clear he is not as accurate.How is his passing loose, given his pass completion rate is the best in Europe this season?

Let's not forget, Mangala consistently had some of the highest pass completion rates when he played at City too.
Laporte, generally takes far fewer risks than either Diaz or Stones. This has it's plus and minuses.
On the plus we keep possession consistently. On the minus, we create fewer chances for he attempts and completes fewer line breaking passes.
He used to do far more of this a few years back. Now he is more basic with his possession.
It is when it matters. I.e. in penetration.So, his passing is not loose?
There are stats about the average length and depth of the passes, and they don't confirm your impressions.
Stones has barely played this season at CB. Any comparison is going to be flawed.I remember such stats were posted 2-3 months ago in one of the post-match threads, Laporte and Dias didn't fare worse than Stones, if anything, their stats were better.
He has a left peg?There's a reason why Laporte is Pep's first choice CB this season. Try ro understand why that may be.
I won't use that word to describe his passing. But, I guess I'm perhaps being too critical. He was fantastic his last game against Sporting. So probably not the right time to be critical.Laporte definitely plays a lot of high risk penetrative passes, particularly from higher up when we're pinning a team back. Stones I think is better at cutting through the lines from deeper but Laporte is definitely amazing at passing too.
