Pep made a mistake tonight playing Eric at LB. After Klanfield last year, presumably a mistake he won't make again.
Correct, hopefully Pep can now place that in the "non-starter" file along with Sane at Wing-back.

He made a superb interception in the middle and that’s where he needs to be.Brilliant CB, below average LB. Personally he's the first CB on the sheet for me, maybe just because he's the only lefty, but he's been great at CB since we signed him.

He played well when his centre half abilities were required,thats not in doubt.He made a superb interception in the middle and that’s where he needs to be.
He doesn’t! They play different positions!
Lasereyes...fail to see. Funny stuff!!
There is no written/unwritten rule that you have to have one left footed and right footed CB. We have 4 CBs and we have seen all 6 combinations in different games.

his distribution let him down last night, but fucking awesome defender , as for his usual distribution its usually bang on, we have a real top quality defender in LaPorte but not at left back
I think he is ok. Still think both Stones and Ota' are better CBs. But he is first choice at LCB for me
He's young and could develop. Can pick out some great long passes. But currently likely to struggle against top teams with strong forward lines (i.e. Sunday). Kompany's looking much fitter this season and I would start him so we have his on-field leadership in the inevitable 10-20 min period(s) where we are under the cosh. Kompany and Stones for me (with Ota on the bench).
Kompany is the last of the 4 for me. His passing out of the back is pedestrian compared to the others.He's young and could develop. Can pick out some great long passes.

And since we all know what's coming Sunday ( A hellish press) the last guy I want as a part of that is Kompany.

No International call up again.
Is this personal? I'm trying to be unbiased,but surely no one would consider Zouma and Sakho as being superior?
