GWT: PL Matchweek Jan 18-24

Sterling is the striker equivalent of having an English keeper lmaoo

 

[Venkman]

Great way to win the game. Pleased for Rashford.

Solid performance but didn't create much.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

What a ridiculous tackle by Laporte. Always criminally underrated.

Great recovery tackle but he only had to make a recovery tackle because he took an atrocious angle defensively and let the player run across and behind him without any pressure at all.

 

[Chimaera]

City should be down two. They’ll likely get a goal here and a penalty near the end

 

[hatterson]

Good header, but also awful goalkeeping. You gotta go and challenge for that.

And he scores wonderful wonderful player.

another player barca let walk from their backyard is rodri. If they had any foresight both should be playing their. Instead barca got Malcolm and Arthur that summer for roughly the same cost. Lol prrrfect replacement for busi

Oh he's definitely an excellent defender, just point out that the only reason he had to make an excellent play was because he made a mistake before that.

 

[hatterson]

It's amazing how good City is that they can carry an absolute boat anchor at the #9

 

[Evilo]

Laporte is overrated by some people here.
A great CB is someone like Thiago Silva who doesn't need to make big tackles because of poor positionning. TS is always well positionned and thus never in a scary situation. Marquinhos rarely tackles too. VVD is another example.

 

[hatterson]

That easily coulda been red.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

There’s only one good cb according to @Evilo its silva. Everyone else sucks.

you just hate laporte because he’s french

 

[hatterson]

I'll change this. I think that's a clear red.

 

[Blender]

Kind of sad but true how this one has gone.

Clear red stupid reffing

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

You can thank Tuchel for that one. Refuses to play like a poor man’s simeone

 

[Blender]

Huge draw for Southampton, but a win for them would have been nice.

Yeah that works too. I've been consistent with Laporte and Silva, regardless of their teams/countries.
And no, I gave two other examples.
Silva IMO is the prime example of a perfect CB.

Silva is great, amazing, stupendous... But what does that have to do with Laporte? Aymeric is very good and hardly gets talked about here. Stones(LOL), Dias, Maguire and Yeray were all aruged at one point or another to be better than him. I fail to see how he's overrated by anyone on here. Not a single person even mentions him. Hell some idiot drafted Varane over him in the draft 18 months ago. BUffonary.

 

[Evilo]

As I said, I think he's highly overrated. I gave Silva (and others) as examples of what Laporte can't do. Dias is better than him (though he's overrated too).
Varane is twice Laporte over his career.

By whom?

Varane hasn't been twice the player, more talented better tools sure. It's his fault for not maintain that high level he could longer. Right now its not even close who's better and hast been close for the past what 2 seasons?

All i said was Laporte is underrated (which he is) and that he's a wonderful player. I fail to see how this is Silva, Marquinhos, VVD or Varane discussion.

 

[gary69]

Just seen Traore had a goal disallowed because his toes were offside. Thankfully it didn't affect the result.

It was a good play from him as well, shielding the ball and keeping the defender out with his body, and get a shot off in a good position. Too bad it didn't stand, it would have been a nice goal.

 

[gary69]

Too bad nobody scored in the Brentford - Wolves match during the first half added time after the drone incident. It would be nice trivia for the stats to have 1-0 scored at 70 mins, and then a second goal in 60th minute (or whatever).

I brought the other 3 as a proof of what other CB do. And YOU brought up Varane
Varane is ONE year older than Laporte. How can anyone compare the 2?
