John Stones - 2016/17 performances

[Tugay One Cup]

Thought he was our best player yesterday.

 

[City Raider]

Probably our most improved player over this recent run.

 

[webelieve]

No coincidence that he is playing so well now that he is on the right side of the defence. Looking very assured and composed on the ball.

 

[The Riot Club]

Good defender. Learning well under Pep.
Will potentially be a world great up there with Baresi, Nesta, Terry and Komps at their peaks.

 

[RandomJ]

In the summer he needs to forget about a holiday and get himself in the gym everyday and put on muscle. He's built like a pipe cleaner and he needs to be a lot stronger.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

He will get better when he doesn't have to partner Otamendi. He can't be learning anything from watching him.

Poor for the goal but kept going and scored.

 

[Robanompivenov]

Looks like a Rolls Royce one minute, then gets blown away like a cyclists in a crosswind the next.

Needs to be stronger for that Falcao goal.

 

[Blueband Brother]

Redemption story. I will still remain loath to criticize Stones because he is surrounded by issues in that backline. He obviously has a lot to learn but he did great today to fight back to help the team win.

 

[Mr HJ]

We must get behind him as I think he has not been helped by his centre back partners or by our ageing fullbacks. He will be a great player for us and is only 22!

 

[CityFan94]

Must learn to be a defender first, if he puts the ball in the stand, their third goal doesn't happen.

Potentially world class, but very much still a work in progress. Signing a top experienced centre back to play alongside him this summer is definitely required.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Will he make the grade? He's one ballsy fucker that's for sure. His star will rise, make no mistake.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

22 year old isn't world class yet shocker.

 

[kaz7]

Needs vinny beside him
Never hides or lets his head drop
Admitted after that the defending wasn't go enough

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

talk about a love/hate relationship , amateur mistake against a has been centre forward and then he scores a vital goal , not sure how good or bad this lad will be but he is learning the hard way.

 

[aguero93:20]

Got abandoned for Falcao's second. Set up Sergio's second. Scored the winner. Didn't put a foot wrong defensively after the 3rd goal. I like him.

 

[RandomJ]

He was doing ok until he got out muscled by Falcao. But he didn't drop his head he went up the other end and made things right. We've seen good and bad from him but he's only 22 and I think he's only gonna get better.

 

[MCFC1993]

Made a mistake for their 3rd goal but didn't let it affect him, his head could have easily dropped but it didn't and even managed to pop up with a massive goal. He just needs a calming influence along side him and more experience at this level.

He's been great the last few weeks and he was still good tonight (despite us conceding 3).

Maybe he got out muscled. But the lack of support from Sagna and Ota was a fucking disgrace, when Stones got his foot to that ball they should have been snapping at the heels too get it clear. I'm not saying he was faultless, but it was far from all his fault.

Needs Kompany or someone like him beside him. It's as simple as that

 

[RayCTID]

Stones should of been a lot stronger against Falcao but you can't question his mentality.
