Aymeric Laporte - 2018/19 performances

[Blue Hefner]

A different class.

 

[taleofbluehalves]

I remember when we signed him Lineker said we had got ourselves a fantastic player

He’s better than I expected. Superb on the ball but great in the air.

 

[Segga]

He’s been class this season, our first choice CB?

 

[Bill]

For all the bullshit around DickVanDyke , i would have Laporte in my team before the Dutch geezer.

just a bit.

 

[Bill]

I described him as David Brightwell after 3 games and I also said Silva was shit early on in his City Career - I am utterly clueless. Great player.

ha ha. I wanted him for a while. as for Dave I thought him too small to make an impact lol. *blushes*

 

[Withnail]

Very special talent, developing into one of the finest left cb in Europe. So confident on the ball , superb passer and good in the tackle

When we first signed Laporte, I thought he'd struggle against pacy forwards.

He's proved me wrong.

Sublime passing, excellent positional awareness, enough pace to be in the right spot when we're stretched.

Laporte is our best defender so far this year. Another great Pep signing.

 

[pride in battle]

He's added aggression to his game, when he first arrived I felt for a guy of his size he was quite weak, he now is a beast and will only get better, same for John Stones, he's definitely beefed up.

Excellent player.

I think Laporte is great,but i prefer Stones.

Having both makes us lucky as fuck.

I’m just hoping they will become the best centre back pairing in the world.

Are they that far off now? None better in the Prem IMO.

Yeah, when Dave bulks up enough to keep the captain's armband in place, he might be a decent player.

They probably aren’t; although I think they need to play more games as an established pair.

My comment though was as much about how much I rate both players.

Don’t want to get carried away but I am wondering if they can become the best pair this country has seen since Hansen and Lawrenson?

 

[rnblade]

A few silly passes, but he’s turning out to be a really good buy. He slips across to cover Mendy well when he disappears upfield. I like his calmness on the ball, I haven’t checked his stats yet, but I’m sure they’ll just get better through the season.
Solid defender, who can score too.
Excellent!!!

 

[ADegenerate]

He comes off as too casual at times and that’s a sign of a player who’s very confident in his abilities. (Ederson anyone?) Love it. I had my issues but he’s class and it’s undeniable.

Agree with the poster who pointed out his aerial ability. Very Pleasant surprise at how efficient he’s been and it’s a must in this team.

Come on, pay attention. Van Dyke & Gomez are much better. Everyone knows that.

We'd need Phil the face to retire though first

 

[B\connellblue]

This lad looks the part alright. Impressed with what I've seen so far.

 

[super_city_si]

He has settled brilliantly. Calm and accomplished on the ball, strong in the tackle and a beast in the air.
With those attributes he is perfect not only to play peps system but to withstand the physicality required when defending in the premier league. Namely winning long balls to big men.
