#14 | Aymeric Laporte - 2020/21 Performances

[01cravend]

Probably widened the gap between himself and Stones

Really good to see him back. Showed flashes but overall looked real rusty.

 

[OB1]

Improved as the game went on.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Good comeback, dealt with the aerial threat well. Great to have him back.

Can see a back 3 being an option going forward.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Great to have him back. Not going to judge him too much until he plays alongside someone half decent.

 

[jay_mcfc]

He just needs minutes at the moment. He’s been back from the initial injury for months now but the niggles are really affecting him. Not sure how he’s gonna get them though because he’s miles behind Dias and Stones for the time being.

First game after a while, and he did pretty good.

Obviously being surrounded by academy players isn't ideal, but he did fine.

Once Cancelo came on, he played as a defensive leftback, and similar to how Ake plays it, he did fine! He's played there before against Liverpool a year ago and did a good job there.

Could easily see a future back 4 of Laporte-Dias-Stones-Cancelo with Cancelo tucking in and making that back 3.

And with Zinchenko and Ake also as options, this means Cancelo can stick to RB.

Good to have him back

I don't think it will be long before la porte and dias become our back two, stones has come on leaps and bounds because of dias but laporte is a class above imo, cancelo dias laporte and a decent lb would be a thing of beauty

Great to see Laporte back but the way Stones is playing he will not be getting into the starting 11 anytime soon unless Stones or Dias get injured.
