By the new laws he should have been sent off, so we got a lucky break there, but I liked how quickly he moved on from making that mistake in giving away the penalty and was playing with full confidence immediately after. The sign of a top player.
Totally agree.A few seasons ago we realised that Kompany had become Mr. Reliable, a leader at the back, a player with immense composure and ability to read the game. A player who stood out In this Prem league era.
Step forward Aymeric Laporte, you are now that player for our team. A rock at the back. A future captain in my opinion.
Do we know what Deschamps issue is with him? Although the less international games the better from a selfish point of view.Aymeric Laporte on Didier Deschamps: "I could be a world champion... but these are the decisions of the coach, who is not calling me for, I think, personal reasons, and I have to respect him. I'm not going to call him. Why? To slam him? No, obviously not."
Aymeric Laporte on Didier Deschamps leaving him out of the France squad: "Of course I don't think it's because of a sporting issue, you'd have to ask him personally, I don't have anything personal against him, but if someone has a problem it's him and not me."

Anyone with 2 brain cells would play Laporte, unfortunately Deschamps falls short.Do we know what Deschamps issue is with him? Although the less international games the better from a selfish point of view.
In spite of. Only Mourinho could lose with that much talent.Yes of course he is a point illustrated by France having such a crap last couple of tournaments, and then to fail to qualify for the Nations finals next year surely must see him for the axe and thrown to the yellow jackets.
Long may that loss remain, as far as I am concerned (though, that is unfortunate for Eric).France's loss is our gain.
VVD gets hype for good reason. He is fantastic. Eric is too.This guy is absolutely class. VVD gets all the hype but for me Laporte is outstanding
