He is biz.
Maybe you should have watched the game first!Didn't even watch the game but completely ridiculous some of the things people are saying. First first team-minutes all season and you're ripping the guy apart again. Centre half is probably one of the most difficult positions to just jump back in and flourish immediately. Chemistry with your partner is huge. Next to Adarb I'm not at all surprised if he looked a little disorganized and made a few mistakes. Whether you like him or rate him or neither ... Even at this level it's just ridiculous to be so harsh. Needs a transfer though for his ownsake

Mangala and Stones are at the opposite end of the spectrum. You can’t even compare them. The only thing Stones lack last season was experience and mature decision making. Mangala on the other hand is not a ball-player by any means, and it’s not something you can train to get. At least not at this age. Mangala is a physical specimen for sure, but there’s already one like him but with much better ball skills in Koulibaly, hope we target him as CB later.While I don't think they're in the same league, remember how rubbish Stones was one on one against Monaco? Now he's a world beater. We shouldn't write people off.
I agree with much of what you say. My point wasn't that they're similar, but that both have been written off at various points. In Stones' case, at least, this was premature. That's not to say that Mangala has a future at the club, either.Mangala and Stones are at the opposite end of the spectrum. You can’t even compare them.
