John Stones - 2017/18 performances

Future captain, for sure.

I doubt it unless we see a significant improvement in his overall game.

Just you wait my friend. If I'm wrong in 4 years, I'll PayPal you £5

Have to say I've been totally underwhelmed with John Stones since he signed for City but am desperate for him to be a success. Hopefully playing alongside Kompany will be the answer. But he has to cut out the errors which seem to happen on a regular basis.

What errors?

What errors?

Ball watching while Rooney waltzed into the box for one. Admittedly Silva should've tracked him but again, Stones could've done better. Which is the case most games.

He does a fuck up most games. He even did one against Brighton but we got away with it.

i hate when folks look around after a goal for someone to blame. Nothing in that sequence is an error. He was not ball watching. Ge did what all defenders are supposed to do, which is to drop to the line of the ball, the moment before Lewin pulled a cutback on the Sliding Dihno Stones and the defender beind him both dropped to the line of the ball. Lewin beats Dihno with a cut back dribble and passes to Rooney who was trailing the play. If you are suggesting that John Stones, in the split second after the cut back on Dihno and the pass to Rooney, should have picked up Rooney in that half second, then i'd suggest that's unreasonable. I can point out that same scenario in every game for every defender

Was asleep for Everton's goal but so were all the others.

Surprised he's not playing as has been City's best cb so far imo.

Harsh match rating in one of today's papers!

Alright uncle @Zin 'messiah' Zimmer he can take Nico's spot if we go 4 at the back next week. :-)

I think he was great today even when they had 11 on the pitch. He needs to have a bit more confidence in himself instead of backing off looking for the perfect opportunity to tackle cos normally when he defends on the front foot he wins more than he loses.
