Aymeric Laporte - 2018/19 performances

[super_city_si]

Made critical errors but let’s not forget the season he has had. He’s been immense. Has to learn from theee occasions and not let it get to him next time.

2 howlers leading to their first two goals tonight and seemed nervous as hell (as you’d expect after those clambers) for quite sometime afterwards.

Not sure if that was down to the occasion or having a different left back to play alongside but he’ll come back Of that I’m sure.

People saying he is same level as Van Dijk are wrong imo. everyone makes mistakes but Laporte did 3 of them in one very important game. That is just awful timing at its worst. No one cares if you something like this vs Huddersfield when you are 4-0 up and they punish the mistake and its 4-1.

But high pressure CL game for a semifinal when away goals count so much to do these mistakes in 10 minutes fucking hell. And of course both is punished, 2 shots = 2 goals.

He is still our best defender. But our defenders need to raise their games much more in tricky CL games. That has to be one of the lesson after we analyze the way we are going out of CL 3 years running conceding obscene goals and lot of them.

I think the occasion got to him. Hopefully he comes out of this with a better understanding of how to handle these in the future.

Worst performance I've ever seen in the first 10 minutes from someone who has been so reliable. Bottlejob.

 

[Scottyboi]

Infact if I personally was in Laportes position I wouldn't be able to sleep until I said sorry to my team and refunded the fans but that's just me haha.

Don’t forget though VVD has fucked up too. He gave away the penalty when we played them in the league. No defender will have a spotless season. It’s how you react.

He should be benched for the next game. 3 goals, his fault. Can't risk him doing the same again this weekend. Some players have to understand that they are not untouchable.

His social media accounts have all been locked down this morning. Hoping the bluemoon massive haven't been giving him shit on there as well...

Laporte is kind of the Alpha/leadet in the CB, he dictates how the team plays from the back and his defensive partner (Stones,Ota, Danilo) goes along with it, problem is, last night he was paired with a natural leader - Vinny, someone he hasn't really had the time to play togethet with so it all became awkward and most times you could clearly see Laporte and Vinny going for the same ball. Vinny as a natural leader was trying to dictate play as he would with other understudies like Stones, Ota but Laporte was also trying to dictate play, the situation became a terribly awkward confused defensive pairing, not because both defenders are bad but because an understanding as to who should dictate play hasnt been established between the both of them. I would like to see the both of them paired again BUT an understanding must be established as to who leads the defensive pairing.
