And it’s not like we secured the treble in the final 3rd of the season when Stones was magnificent in this role and the team played some of the best stuff we have ever seen.

Agree with every word.well explained, imo.Might I politely suggest you do not understand how pep wants City to play, especially when you start talking about square, backwards and vertical passes?
Your “vision” of the game is different from Pep’s. Not necessarily worse, but different.
In addition, he points where the player should be to OPEN UP the space for the passer. Football is a game of triangles. If you move into one space, you’ve opened up another space. When the ball goes into that space, at least two players should be moving to create the next space, and on and one and on. Options, open man, open space. Love it, live it, learn it!

I was referring to a post by CB in the John Stones thread.

there are rumors that he’s not fully fit and has been playing with pain killing injections lately. i don’t know if that’s true.Has there been any information about how John Stones is now? Was it just a stomach bug or something more serious?
Looked like a bad reaction to painkillers to me.Has there been any information about how John Stones is now? Was it just a stomach bug or something more serious?
The guy is clearly playing through the pain barrier.

how do clubs deal with stomach bugs anyway, since those are highly contagious?

After Kev was pulled from the RM game due to the stomach bug, he was still on the sidelines hugging everyone. That felt like playing with fire to me! Knowing how fast that goes through my kids, I would have had someone following him around with bleach wipes!how do clubs deal with stomach bugs anyway, since those are highly contagious?
