He had this injury before? I’m imagining it will be weeks he’s out for.

All down to that cowardly ponce waistcoat ..

 

[Goater=Legend]

Questions need to be asked as to why he needed to play both games.

Anti City agenda, he'd have played 180 minutes like Phil had he not got injured.

Absolutely idiotic playing two pointless friendlies in a few days, what was Stones and Southgate thinking

 

[deano ou812]

I’ve no problem with players representing their country but some need to see the bigger picture and what it can lead too and in stones case injured again with the business end of season now upon us ..

I don't imagine Stones had much choice as he's part of the squad, he can hardly tell the England manager to "fuck off".

 

[Crooked_rain]

I said on a thread last week you can guarantee stones comes back injured

What a fucking clown Southgate is. Stones is literally the player you least need to have a look at in meaningless friendlies, he's head and shoulders above anyone English in his position, he's the first name on the team sheet by virtue of every other CB being dogshit.

Yet waistcoat plays him in both games, knowing he's a bit injury prone.

There's a reason no club employed this clueless **** after his shitshow tenure at Boro.

but but but... he's the most successful England coach since the last one who won fuck all

Typical John Glass goes away on International duty comes back injured.

Southgate is an absolute c@@t no need to play him in 2 friendly matches.

We'll be fine without him we've managed many times before but it's really frustrating. If it wasn't for his injury record he'd have been spoken about as one of the Premier Leagues all time top CBs

Southgate: “John Stones had to leave the pitch due to a problem with his adductor, more tests will follow”.

So what will that be... 2-6 weeks? More? It's such a frustrating time to be injured, especially as a result of pointless International Friendlies.

Surprised by these Stats if correct

In his 8 seasons at City Johnny Stones has started 20 or more PL games in only 3 seasons.

At least next year is a 20 game year, judging by the pattern

 

[bumbleblue]

Fuck sake! Get fucked Southgate.

It's a strangely consistent pattern every second year! I hope we get more than one more game from him this season. :/

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

As much as I love Stones.. he's made of glass. It's time we get a replacement to cover like we got Akanji as insurance for Laporte last season.

We have 4 very good cb. Two of them spend most their time at left back. We have cover.
