He is definitely going to score a couple screamers this year from distance. He’s got a rocket in his boot
 
I think he's settled in and quietly has become one of our most consistent performers. He's a near perfect fit and is one of the first names on the team sheet for me.
 
Apart from one moment in the second half when he got drawn too far in and missed a header and they broke, he was brilliant!
 
He is what we all hoped Mangala would be like!

Stones and Laporte will hopefully be our established centre back pairing for a number of years and become the best partnership the Premier League has ever seen.

Unfortunately I would say the best in recent(ish) years was Vidic and Ferdinand...

My concern about Laporte was that he isn't pacy and would possibly be found out against speedy forwards.

Laporte isn't a speedster, but his positional play is very good and he has enough speed to back up whatever position he takes up on defense.

I'm very impressed by Laporte and am no longer concerned that he's not exceptionally fleet of foot.
 
He really looks too be loving his time here too. From what we see on the pitch, he really does look to be a very likeable top bloke who seems to get on well with everyone.

He had a smile on his face wider than the Grand Canyon after Merlin’s. free kick went in on Sunday, I think he was just as happy, for little Mateo and the rest of the Silva family, as David was himself
 
May only be three games in, I'll say it anyway I don't care, but he's set the bar for POTS for me.
 
First goal for the club and think he was one of the few that had a good game. Should be him and Stones as long as both are fit.
 
His brainfart caused them to get in on goal which Eddie saved then from the resulting corner he didn't track Boly who scored, which while it should have been disallowed he still made the mistake. Apart from that minute of play he was awesome
 
A bit sloppy around the time they scored, and a couple errant passes aside, he was our best player. Defended resolutely and got the goal too.
