Part 9 of 24 of my player reviews! Aymeric Laporte was brilliant this season. The future of Manchester City’s defence excelled alongside a variety of defensive partners and was key to City’s success in all domestic competitions. I review his 2018/19 contributions in his first full season as a City player.

Aymeric Laporte. In French, Aymeric The Door. He keeps that door shut!
I agree 8.5 with no brake is correct. Next season he will be a monster when he can strut around the defense knowing he is the man
This was very harsh. He doesn't get enough credit cause he's not an attacker. He marshalled the defense alone this season. A low rating for a great player. Don't agree with it. Love the player reviews though keep em coming
Definitely needs a 9 he was one of our top 5 players easily and was one of the only ones that was never dropped
It’s ridiculous that he doesn’t get selected for France. I think they’re missing out on him (even though they won the World Cup)
How is he getting neglected by Deschamps when he's best French defender playing in PL
Laporte is prone to mistakes in big games, he literally made us exit champions league against Tottenham , he can't be in the level of van dik
I love this series 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I agree with your score for him . Top season though.
Laportes best game was at left back vs liverpool
Amazing season. The spurs game really let him down and unfortunately despite all his amazing games, this is the one I remember. 8.5 is faire
I would have gone with a 9 but 8.5 is fair. Given the costly mistakes against Tottenham, I can see where you are coming from, but he also scored very important goals for us against wolves, Brighton and Lyon. Anyway, top top player and so excited to see how he grows even more into his role next season, probably worth a new partner who will be rotated less than out right sided center backs this season!
More City fans need to jump onboard and sub your channel, quality work you're doing.
Can’t BELIEVE he never played for France..
Laporte gave us what we expected from him, 28 goals conceded (cut that to 22 for his assists and goals) what is better than that, he gets a 9.5 from me, its only 20 minutes from the time he's played that he made mistakes
Aymeric Laporte what a solid CB! We're lucky to have him at our football club.
Listened to Ayla for the first time in a while, subliminal advertising works!
Thats harsh on Laporte… He always had to cover zinchenko … And one idd game in a whole season is acceptable .. he won us 4 trophies… For me he deserves 9 if not more
Cultured left back? You should see him play at cb then
The gaffs against Tottenham ultimately cost us the chance at a quadruple. However, those two blunders are the only two glaring things you can point to over what was a brilliant season. I'd say the 8.5 is fair, but a 8.75 might be more accurate.
