14 | Aymeric Laporte - 2022/23 Performances

[alexmcity]

Laporte and Rodri completed 280 passes vs Costa Rica. Pass, pass, pass and... 7:0. Boring (Pep) football.

 

[Bluster]

Is Pep having to manage Laporte’s game time? I know we have a lot of defenders and they can’t all play but I am not clear if it’s always rotation rather than because of their condition.
Akanji seems to be picked most weeks, either because Pep trusts him the most or he’s the fittest defender on the books.

I think he got a kick against the dippers near the end, might not be injured but possibly rested because of it

Where was he today, dont tell me we've got another CB out injured.

Our build up play has missed his cross field sprays. Good all round game, here's hoping he can stay fit now

 

[Deleted member 81382]

So important to the way we play.

 

[Shaffer92]

Underappreciated.

 

[Lauz9888]

Good game from him today. Limping at the end though, I hope nothing serious.

 

[Stelea]

Thought he was great today
Hope that’s not a hamstring he picked up

 

[OrigamiNinja]

We look a different team when he is playing because he is one of the most progressive players we have. Always has his head up and is looking for a forward pass. We don’t look anywhere near as slow and negative when he is in the side.
