John Stones v Aymeric Laporte
John Stones
Heading
8
Very good in the air. Surprisingly so for a player known for being good with his feet, he is actually better at heading.
Tackling
6
Not the best tackler, it is something he looks to avoid doing if at all possible.
Passing
7
Known for being good with his feet, but his range of passes and vision leave a lot to be desired for a ball playing centre half. He is comfortable being on the ball but that is a long way from being a good passer of the ball.
Strength
7
Is improving in this area each season. No longer a weakness in his game, now he is strong enough to hold his own against most.
Pace
8
Good pace, one of the quicker centre halves, not just in outright pace, but also in acceleration.
John Stones
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.
