14 | Aymeric Laporte - 2022/23 Performances

[RayCTID]

Does lack match sharpness but after the Southampton debacle I don't think Pep really trusts him for the bigger games.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Played well against Villa, only to find himself benched next game and witness Akanji come on instead of him. I can see why he might be frustrated.

I rate him highly but I think he’ll be off in the summer.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Minimal effort (not lazy as such, just doesn't offer himself as an option as much as I think he should), powder-puff (gets physically bullied on the pitch too much for my liking), error-riddled, sulker who seems to believe that he deserves to play in every game in his preferred position when there are at least 3 CBs at the club who deserve to start ahead of him (when fit).

All he seems to bloody do is winge, on AND off the pitch!

Not really a fan then?

what's he winged at off the pitch. I don't recall him saying anything ?

Just seem to recall him agitating for a move due to not getting the game time he "deserves, might be wrong though.

Shit, did it come across that way? :)

[B\connellblue]

Understandable he wants a move when akanji despite being an inferior player gets game time in front of him . Strange situation.

‘Happy faces’

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Laporte out Gvardiol in seems more likely every week

 

[M16 citeh]

Hasnt he been ill?

 

[RayCTID]

If Laporte is moving on it might not be Gvardiol replacing him

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

We’ve got 1 to many centre backs at the moment. We could have got decent money for Ake last summer but has been one of our better players this year, only other person I see moving on is Laporte and hopefully the club gets some decent cash back on him.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

I honestly think the treatment of Laporte this season has been a disgrace. Especially after he put his career and World Cup on the line for us playing injured at the end of last season.

How Akanji plays ahead of him I will never know. Its obscene and I fear we will lose a great player this Summer because of it.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Is it really Akanji though, Dias plays better on the left, hes third choice and Ake has stepped up.

I'm not really surprised hes going.

 

[jaiguruKun]

He's a great player when on form but has too many brainfarts for my liking. He's now 4th/5th choice CB when everyone's fit so probably for the best that he goes with everyone's best wishes.

 

[cleavers]

I know this is the Laporte thread, but I'm not sure why Akanji gets so much grief in it. He's been pretty good for me, had the odd bad game, but so has Laporte.

Were you watching the Forest game? Can someone please explain to me wtf Laporte was doing on the late game tying goal basically just stepping out of the way, offering zero attempt at a challenge, and then left standing there with his dick in his hand and some lame attempt to absolve himself of any fault. He hasn't been seen since and I firmly believe Pep was just as bewildered and disgusted at Laporte as I was. Inexplicable...

I love Laporte and even I have to concede.. that was bad.

Really bad!

He's still got a lot of credit for me in the bank though but Pep has a meritocracy.

He's benched Laporte before after the Spurs game in 20 which led to the Dias and Stones partnership in 20-21. So Laporte knows exactly what he has to do to get back into the team -- Raise his game and cut out the mistakes!
