#14 | Aymeric Laporte - 2021/22 Performances

[Brightwell Bros.]

You would think at some point, given that every player thread has a recurring theme of criticisms that the players don't play the ball quickly enough allowing the other team to get back into position, that we'd accept that they're under instruction not to because we don't want the ball come back at us just as quickly.

Yeah it's like with Rodri. They aren't playing it forwards more frequently or faster because then we'd just lose it.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Get Stones and Dias back in.

 

[Dzeko9]

This guy can’t defending. Maybe he cost us UCL again. Enough is enough

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Garbage , shit himself when Benzama was withih ten yards of him , would have Ake in before Laporte on current form

 

[Dr Jacoby]

No worse than Dias tonight

 

[sh249]

Bit unlucky with the handball. But dreadful on the second - has to come across to deal with the immediate danger.

 

[city warrior]

Laporte should never play a UCL knock-out again in his life. 2 goals where he did everything he could do wrong.

 

[RandomJ]

We didn't have a choice due to all the injuries but this guy is never an elite defender. Far too many errors in his game and should be 3rd/4th choice when everyone is fit.

 

[yankblue]

The penalty was unlucky, jogging back and watching Vicinius for 60 yards was the real head scratcher

 

[JDV]

Both him and Dias defend the same way where they just jockey an attacker back almost into our own goal. Can't stand it.

I can kind if understand it's his job to mark Benzema there.. Could have been a lack of comms where Zinny could/should have told him to go... The big one was where on earth was Dias when that goal happened?

 

[daztrueblue91]

He’s gone from being our best CB to one who I couldn’t give a shit if he left.

Good player but he’s never been the same since his injury. Too many mistakes in him now.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Ake is better and that’s not even an over reaction.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I don’t trust him anymore to just defend. Remember when everyone said that Gundo is passive and apprehensive because of his previous injuries? Well that’s Laporte now, and he is doing it as a fucking CB.

I love him on the ball, maybe the best CB in possession in world football and we gain a lot from it in PL games against shite whose only intention is to try and get a 0-0. You can’t have a defender who can’t/won’t defend at this level. It’s just asking for trouble.

 

[Blu1]

He’s so hesitant & slow at times. Been poor this season except for a few few good games. Rate his season at a 4/5 out of 10

Dias was in Madrid's half.

He marks space not a man in our box. Space often beats him.

 

[argyle]

Made a few mistakes but his overall game was good, could have had a goal too.

 

[super_city_si]

big game panic again. Eric, WTF were you doing on the second goal? I’ll tell you; fuck all
