Laporte is a fine player but i always get the idea from him that he thinks he's a lot better than he really is.
Much prefer Stones & Dias

He was only there because Laporte asked him to come and then headed it.
Are you sure?
I thought Laporte's hand signal looked like palm up ie stay and then he nodded it back?
Looked to me like a wave towards himself as if to say come here. I think Eddie was going to stay put and wait for the header until he made the gesture.
I'll have to have another look now lol
I’ve only seen it twice yesterday, with a sore head but I’m convinced it was Laporte telling him to come that did it.
I think you need to look again my friend, he puts his hand out in a stop signal granted it isn't as clear as I first thought but it is not a come-and-get-it signal, though if shouts happened that is harder to tell from this clip.

I agree, but so was Torres. We'll bend over for Barcelona again.
Stop it please I get it that you just like majority of people on here may don t like laporte much but to put the blame only on him for that is just ridiculous
I love Laporte and up until recently was calling for him to start over Stones. I’m discussing one incident.
Objectivity doesn’t make you not like someone. He had a poor game but won’t do that every week.
Yes he has a poor game I agree but im my opinion Ederson has his share of blame..thankfully that wasn t a goal and I am sure pep will have a Word with them about that ...have a nice day fella

Laporte is a very good centre half but when Stones is fit I would like him to have a run in the side. Rubin and John have a very good rapport, and I get that Laporte is left footed but in my opinion this is the best partnership.
As I said on the other page, I think Laporte asks him to come, Ederson isn’t moving at first and is waiting for the header but Laporte gestures to come and get it.
It doesn’t matter because we got away with it but Laporte does occasionally have the odd game or two where he has a brain fart.
Stones has also done that throughout his career but has got better and cutting out mistakes more recently.

I played semi pro football having joined from the ranks of the millions that had trials and played for district / county etc And were nowhere near good enough.
I do wonder sometimes whether some posters have ever played the game at any level. Heat of the moment, a mili second to make a choice and hey, sometimes you get it wrong or there is confusion.
Enjoy and rejoice in the victory. Doff your caps to a collection of players who have had a really busy schedule and won 11 on the spin. It’s a remarkable achievement. No blue player should be getting anything but praise ( bar Mendy of course).

The difference is not getting into the team from the off, partly due to the extended stay in the Euro's and Laporte throwing his toys out of the pram.
The one thing Stones has always needed is minutes for both injuries and form, rotating him in and out has always resulted in a worse Stones imo
So you didn't go and watch it again then pal?
This is the only gesture Laporte does, he points his hand back at Ederson, there is no other gesture or come and get it signal.
Need to see a video or moving image of itSo you didn't go and watch it again then pal?
