Get the feeling the manager has lost a lot of faith in him, as long as Stones and Dias remain fit and healthy they will play the vast majority of the remaining games.

The strangest thing for me about the no penalty incident is this; last night Mark Chapman on R5 said they had spoke to Stockley Park and tje decision was because the ref thought tje goalie had got a hand to the ball. Then Pep in his press conference post match said that Moss, and the linesman didn't see it. I think it's safe to assume that either Moss or the 4th official told Pep this. So Moss saw the goalie touch the ball, whilst at the same time didn't see the incident. Its bullshit, no wonder Pep is pissed off.

Not even doing Stones a disservice when I say this but he’s a world class second in command. Dias is a world class leader. That’s why they work. The chemistry is off the chain. It’s as if 2 minds are 1. Laporte is used to being seen as the big dog and now he has to be commanded about by Dias, I see him forcing his way out to be honest if Ake looks good next to Stones/Dias.Get the feeling the manager has lost a lot of faith in him, as long as Stones and Dias remain fit and healthy they will play the vast majority of the remaining games.
He, Laporte has not looked the same player since his injury.Not even doing Stones a disservice when I say this but he’s a world class second in command. Dias is a world class leader.

We are still linked with bringing in a CB this summer which makes me think Laporte is on his way.
The Stones, Dias combination is outstanding both compliment each other.

I think they call it a "modern" penalty , otherwise known as cheatingHow could he be mad at Laporte for that farce last night. In what parallel universe does a giant lump fall backwards like that after someone brushes their shoulder whilst stretching for the ball?

Is anybody truly independent though mate ? I'm one of the fairest people I know, I'd say it was possibly my best quality (looks , athletic ability and physicality aside ;-) ), and to be perfectly honest, if I was VARing a rag or red dipper match, I'm not sure I could remain wholly objective if there was room for interpretation, so who's to say the people chosen will be any different ?Moss couldn't wait to give it could he.
Ref gives penalty VAR agree, ref does not give penalty VAR agree.
Until VAR is operated by an independent body and not those PGMOL idiots then these sort of things will continue.

Doesn’t justify giving a penalty for a brush of the other players shoulder though.Laporte is being dragged out of position constantly.
He keeps going into areas he doesn't need to be.
Probably says much that we look so much better when Dias shifts across and Stones starts.

You have got the job, ideal qualifications.Is anybody truly independent though mate ?

I have a feeling sterling is involved somewhere in all of thst interview.I thought the same. I wonder if someone has asked to leave eg Laporte or if someone’s contract negotiations have broken down eg Sterling
Hes probably kicked off royal for pep having the audacity to bench him

did you clock Dias giving him a bollocking at one point because he had to come and clear up after him?Laporte is being dragged out of position constantly.
