Well stated!Not all of us. He's been patronised by too many people crediting Dias with his Renaissance when in reality they've been as important to each other. He's one of the best in Europe now.
Given a solid partner at the back, he has been able to nurture and grow his own game.
He was done for pace by Muller, as evidenced by Walker making up about 8 yards on him and shoving him out of the way trying to stop “the shot,” but he has been immense this whole season, for both club and country!

Yep,said it myself many times.They are very good individually but they work even better together,they bring out the best in each other.
Maybe the best partnership in Europe.

John Boy always gives of his best and it is not always recognised. He just quietly gets on with the job and helps others at times with his steadiness.
On Tuesday he was calming Pickford down and encouraging others around him in his own inimitable way. For me he was MOTM.

He's now found the consistency to be classed as a world class CB.
Take a bow, mate.
One good season isn't enough. He still has to prove himself
To you maybe. I’m quite at ease calling him WC and he’s got fuck all to prove to me.One good season isn't enough. He still has to prove himself

Calling him world class after a good season isn't a good look for anyone who claims to know about football, Mangala had a great season at Porto before signing with us, would you have referred to Mangala as world class back then?To you maybe.

Mangala never had all the attributes that makes a WC CB, Stones always has and over the last 12 months for both City and England he’s shown it.Calling him world class after a good season isn't a good look for anyone who claims to know about football, Mangala had a great season at Porto before signing with us, would you have referred to Mangala as world class back then?
You can take your not a good look comment and shove it up your arse, thanks.
