If he's out for awhile it's a huge miss and i guarantee you that I'm not the only one who thinks so and is worried by it.
Our build up from the back starts with Ederson you prime fucking plum . World class first touch , superb passer and vision and can also kick the ball literally fucking miles . KDB is our most influential player imho and we won the title largely without him last season . Pep always has tactical options so like I said your a fucking drama queen .
You make it sound like we are stoke city, just lumping it forward. Although Ederson is excellent at what he does, Laporte's passing into the strikers feet is exceptional. He does it at pace and precision. We don't have another cb that can do it as effectively.
By laporte getting the ball into the final 3rd, it means that whoever receives it can lay it back to kdb out Silva who in turn receive it running towards the opponents goal. Otherwise, with stones or ottamendi passing out from the back, kdb and Silva will receive the ball with their back to goal, so it is fair to say that laporte missing will effect our attack.
Also laporte is excellent at spreading the play out to our right wing. This keeps the opponents fullback pinned back and wide, again making more room for kdb to operate in the hole
