A "bang average" Premier League central defender is someone like Ethan Pinnock or Calvin Bassey. Dias has had a poor season but an average player doesn't get voted Premier League Player of the Season, win four league titles on the bounce, or make the Champions League team of the season twiceIn this case believing his own hype?
He is a good defender but that's all for me, superb leadership skills but against the very best and particularly against pace looks like a bang average PL CB.
Playing at consistent high intensity season after season will surely see a come down at some point. Footballers aren’t robots.Another one who's form has fallen off a cliff.
How can so many great players become average in one season?
You mean apart from narrowly avoiding giving away a pen within the first minute?Didn't put a foot wrong, I thought.
Apart from that, although I thought Garnacho was fishing for that.You mean apart from narrowly avoiding giving away a pen within the first minute?
We need to find a partner for him.
Stones has been amazing, but the injuries are too much, and he can only regress from here on in.
Utter bollocks he did the right thing and was easily our best defender.You mean apart from narrowly avoiding giving away a pen within the first minute?

Not sure what part is deemed "utter bollocks" when I did nothing but state an indisputable fact.Utter bollocks he did the right thing and was easily our best defender.
He did a great block to get back, never a pen and great defending as he was on the wrong side.Said in jest. He had a solid game, especially given he was on a yellow within a minute.

It wasn't a great block or great defending, it was a foul, one he had to make due to his own poor positioning letting them clean through inside a minute.He did a great block to get back, never a pen and great defending as he was on the wrong side.
We have found the partner. Not conceded together yet and Gvardiol is only going to get betterWe need to find a partner for him.

I think he looks very comfortable alongside Gvardiol. They look a decent partnershipWe need to find a partner for him.
