Aymeric Laporte - 2018/19 performances

[lasereyes]

I think you've conflated 2 or 3 issues here. Whether Laporte can deal with a skilled attacker has little to do with handling a high press. One is a function of his defending, the other his pass ability or comfort on the ball. Unless you are suggesting he is terrible at both.

And both probably have little to do with his 'lack of caps' as there are worse players who have gotten caps.

That said, I share your sentiment of not been sold yet on Laporte. But so far so good. This is going to be another test for him

No conflating - they were two separate points.

Thought he was different class today.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

MOTM.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Brilliant yet again

 

[thyer64]

Very very good - future captain material IMO

 

[RandomJ]

He was great. He and Stones have a great partnership going and it's time Pep stopped messing with it.

 

[Jack74]

Class act

[Onlymcfc]

Awesome

 

[TravisBickle]

Solid performance today. Best City player on the pitch.

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Was awesome and seemed to keep pace with Salah on a few occasions which blew my mind and them some. Great all around from him, Pep should be proud

 

[ws01]

Turning out to be a great buy

 

[Mike N]

Man of the match for me.

 

[oldius]

He and Stones are a brilliant pairing and are both very young.

 

[BlueMedic]

Played great, covered very well for Mendy also.
