5 | John Stones - 2025/26

[nicko]

He’s played the full 90 twice in 4 days. Would be surprised if he’s fit for more than 90 minutes before Christmas.
I’m pro-England but it’s ridiculous and wrong to do that to an acutely injury prone player. We will pay the penalty.

 

[sarcastico]

Tuchel is an asshole. Played both him and Nico for full 90's in meaningless games.

 

[waspish]

O’Reily is 20 has 5/6 days rest stones wise pep will have him on the bench

 

[northmr8]

Realistically he isnt playing for us until the next CL match anyway so don't see the issue with him playing both

 

[Cityfan]

He's not played much for us this season and our next game isn't for six days. I actually think two games will help him get form.

 

[WallyA]

Those games were actually good for us and Stones, he needed minutes in because he is not a starter for us.

I wish Ake got those minutes.

 

[Eccles Blue]

John Boy and Nico were the best two English players against Albania with Phil a very definite third.
IMHO.
