Is the correct answerLets put all this into perspective before people slag of Stones. We are talking about England here, managed by Gareth Southgate
Anyone thinking Southgate is training this lot to pass it out from the back, training the players in where they need to position themselves so that the pass can be made to by-pass the press !!!Sorry but that aint happening.
There are players in that team who dont have a clue how to play it out from the back, and when you have someone like stones who does, but no-one takes up the correct position to receive the ball then it will make him look ordinary as he either gets closed down or as last night the receiver loses the ball and they score
Funny how when the dippers boo our whole team for 90 minutes that’s described as vocal home support or one of those special Klanfield nights. Surely booing one your own players is worse than booing the opposition. Our media just don’t understand ironyFrom the BBC,
Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, mercilessly and totally inexplicably jeered by England's fans all night,
Was Sterling being booed ever described in such a way, *****!
Do you think that Pep and the staff who focus on player analysis will have that? Will they fuck. Stones was trusted for one game in the run in and dropped an absolute stinker of a performance.
He's got an absolutely enormous season ahead of him. At the moment he's a huge concern.
Redknapp actually name dropped Foden as an example of players who can come in and be comfortable receiving the ball in tight spots. Surprisingly insightful take from him.

You are right, it does feel like a positive article when it actually just balanced and fair.........Stop. This is a very good article by the best sports journalist by far. However it is not positive it is neutral. Positive articles are reserved for those in red and talk about how great a club or player is. You think its positive because he is not trying to piss all over us.
Sorry for some reason this made me a touch ranty.
He must be hated throughout the journalistic bubbleA positive article yet again from Martin Samuel:

You see, he’s nailed it again. I was hugely pissed off when they tapped up Boateng. Bayern Munich Just chip away at these bright young stars, encourage them to run down contracts and leave on free transfers. They rape and pillage smaller clubs of all their best talents for pittances and then have the damn cheek to complain about us !A positive article yet again from Martin Samuel:

If it was Raz the narrative would be ... “Gun violence supporting, skin flint Raheem Sterling, reduces his tax bill by having a party at his place of work for sick kids. It is reported that Sterling “allegedly” paid £100 million for the party at the Etihad, in what on the surface appears to be another case of financial doping”.
If Pep trusts him, surely he’s good enough instead of Barclay.
Had a look at the comments section on some articles and it was full of the 'we're not English, we're dippers' nonsense. Worse though was the complete lack of irony in their outrage at European Royalty (whatever that means) being booed by opposition fans and you really don't know whether to roll over belly laughing or feel totally depressed that dozens of people are destroying the opportunity for others to have reasonable discussion with their insane posts.Not one of the media shithouses said a word when Raz was getting it at every fucking ground in the country he played at. Mostly due to their demonisation of him and the air time given to ex Liverpool wankers to slag him off on TV and Radio for being a "mercenary" moving to City for money.
They are a snivelling, pompous set of arseholes who bask in the surmised brilliance of their own prose. fuck them. Fuck them all!
You can't overstate how much Bayern are hated by fans of other German clubs. I have been lucky to watch City all over Germany in recent years and have met scores of German fans of all clubs. They regard Bayern as predators who have ruined German football. Yet here in the UK our media seems to worship despicable crooks like Hoeness and Rummennige whenever they open their mouths, usually to make snide digs at our club.You see, he’s nailed it again.

How do clubs not see them and their ilk are the real villains. It’s not organic or natural it’s using your big club status to ensure the smaller clubs stay small and by ransacking their youth systems. At least when we go for a player the selling team are given fair if not sometimes more than fair value.
Samual nails it in this article and this is why we must hold on to Leroy unlike Jerome. Unless they are willing to pay £130+m for his services. Honestly believe this whole investigation is a means at forcing our hand over certain players and perhaps even our manager with the threat of no European competition. There are some pretty desperate clubs out there pushing this in the hope of picking off the bones like vultures .
We must no longer accept the low balling for our players. Not for Danilo not for Sané not for anyone
The same guy who is the most vocal critic about our supposed greed is a convicted tax fraudster. I mean really ? The fact the sheep still listen to him is beyond comprehensionYou can't overstate how much Bayern are hated by fans of other German clubs.
