Marcos Rojo v Aymeric Laporte
Marcos Rojo
Heading
7
Decent in the air when he has a run and leap, as his leap is excellent. However he is not tall enough to win a standing battle with a big opponent.
Tackling
8
Strong and aggressive in the tackle, however he can often be over-aggressive.
Passing
7
Decent on the ball, which is why he is able to slot in at full-back without too many issues.
Strength
7
Strong enough to ensure that, added to his natural aggression, he is very rarely outdone in a physical battle.
Pace
7
Quick enough to be a passable full-back but not exceptionally so.

Aymeric Laporte
Heading
8
Good in the air, well able to hold his own and win a large percentage of balls in the air.
Tackling
8
A strong tackler, it is just his rashness that holds him back at times.
Passing
8
He was brought in because he is very good on the ball and capable of spotting and playing a pass.
Strength
7
Good strength, though the strongest forwards are capable of bullying him.
Pace
8
Surprisingly quick, clocked as Man City's fastest top speed in the early weeks of the season. Though his acceleration is not as quick.
