5 | John Stones - 2023/24

Amazes me how he keeps fit for England but not us, probably more is expected from him in a City shirt in fairness

 

[Mr Partridge]

He does tend to go through spells, for a while he'll pick up a knock almost every time he plays but then he'll have a period where he stays fit for ages.

Fingers crossed anyway, we need him next season.

The PL is more intense and he plays more offensively with a lot more time on the ball. With England, he is more static and his job, primarily, is to defend. We have also not faced peak opposition.

He looked imperious last night. As long as he can get through the final unscathed then get a decent break, he should come back to us for pre-season in good shape after putting together a tournament worth of performances.

Playing well despite being surrounded by mediocre players (not our boys of course)

 

[Eccles Blue]

Even my doctor was praising both him and Foden this morning! He knows my City allegiance but didn’t know my JB allegiance until this morning. :-)

 

[St.Pauli support]

Was superb tonight, Seems to be always fit for England do players plays through injuries where as at club level the medical staff will not allow it? Just asking the question.

Maybe playing for England is much more relaxing.. ;)
I'll get my coat.

 

[Macca77macca]

Come on Jonny, show everyone what you got!

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Unlucky for playing them onside for that goal but he shouldn't have stopped running, one more step and he would have been perfectly positioned to stop that cross

 

[uwerosler28]

John always gets plaudits for his technical ability, stepping into midfield ect,but tonight he showed he still a top class defender winning headers and blocks great player.

Him Pickford and Guehi kept us in it.

Shaw as well to be fair

Agreed

 

[toffee balls]

Agreed

Fine margins.
Got caught out , I’m afraid.

 

[skillman]

Absolutely mustard. Top 5 CB in the world for me. Favourite player. Sir Jonny Boulders.

 

[WestGorton]

Fine margins.

Yes but overall a good performance

 

[Macca77macca]

I am so gutted for him, he will be devastated. He probably knows thats his last EUROs :(

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

That mazy run in the first half though…

Ankara Stones.

 

[HolisticJim]

Him Pickford and Guehi kept us in it.

Pickford gave the ball to the opposition with his hoofing it. His shot stopping might be good but he wouldn't have to stop half the shots if he wasn't giving them the ball to begin with.

Why anyone of those players or the manager did not tell him to stop fkin doing it beggers belief.

The very reason Pep moved Joe Hart on.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Sadly he's incapable of stringing 7 games together for us without getting injured. Can only manage it for England.
