John Stones

[Tugay One Cup]

I should ask my mum. Is anyone safe from Stones or Apache?

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Did you hear his interview after the game???

No what did he say?

 

[UncleCTID]

What's he said in after match interview?

 

[johnmc]

No what did he say?

Not sure. Not seen it myself. Did he give one?

 

[Cityfan]

What's he said in after match interview?

Never wants to play for an Iberian manager again after Martinez. Probably off to join Klopp.

 

[Marvin]

Thought he was the best england player but that was a very low standard match.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Not sure. Not seen it myself. Did he give one?

Don't know. I thought you meant you heard it. I turned it off after Glenda gave Rashford MOTM

 

[slicky202]

No but I've shagged your mam alright cunty.

I've smashed her too mate

Pmsl

I stand by the comment about his complete lack positional awareness, and desire to see us give Denayer a chance, but I was premature, he went on to have a good game.

That said, I'm sticking to my guns. The lad is overrated and isn't worth the gamble at the kind of money Everton would demand for him.

You're better off joining me on this side of the fence now, rather than performing a U-turn and doing it later once he joins PEG at the rags.

Stones playing well defending with authority that half it was Smalling looking like a headless chicken and an own goal around the corner for him.

Shhhhhhh! Stop it. That's not the narrative we want here.

Let's pick his one mistake in the game and conclude he is shit.

This part will quickly be forgotten. And we'd be back to hating him soon enough.

Can someone alert blueArmy. I'm not sure he watched the game.

 

[TonyM]

Like Shaw

I'll get slagged for this, but I don't give a fuck.

Smalling is a much better centre half than Stones at the moment.

Smalling has been better than him in the league this season (but that's like saying Laurel was better than Hardy) but Stones looked a much better player last night by comparison & probably the first game I've seen him play at any level where he hasn't made a potentially goal losing mistake. Smalling looked a right tit.

It encouraged me to see Stones actually compete for an header last night rather than reacting after the ball had gone. All in all very encouraging if we're about to take a fucking ridiculously overpriced gamble on him.

But I wouldn't lose any sleep over seeing him partnered by Smalling in a rag shirt.

Sign Julian Dicks' son also.

Dicks and Stones.

Comfortable on the ball last night, he's got a terrible habit though, one I dont like in a centre half, when he goes to close a shot or cross he turns his back. Can't see the ball and lack of bravery. Dunne or John Terry put their bodies on the line to get blocks in, I value this more in a centre half than being comfortable in possession. Probably antiquated thinking. Win the ball give it to midfielder or full back, job done

Thats something that can get worked on, tho.

I disagree, bravery isn't something that can be coached. Instinct, some centre halves take a step forward, stones first instinct is a step back. It'll never leave him. He'd be fantastic for us when we have teams pinned back but in games where we don't have possession he'd be in big bother
