I thought it was interesting/revealing he already knew the stat about 6 clean sheets in a row being the club record.

Someone obviously told them and maybe its something they are aiming for as a defence.

I'm convinced we're trying what Liverpool did in 18/19. They started the season a bit weak in attack (but somehow grinded out goals) and really really good at the back. It meant they could keep winning 1 or 2 nil. Come January/February their forwards came to life and now even though they weren't the same at the back they were scoring enough goals for it not to matter. The point is that whilst they struggled up top they made sure not to concede.

We're not doing as well as they did obviously, but defensively since the Leicester game we've been ridiculously solid for the most part. Which'll protect us not being quite as good going forward. And you'd think eventually the attack's going to really click. The signs are there.
 
If Stones plays every match just as consistent with a majority of clean sheets he might end up 3rf behind Slabhead and Dier in the Engerland squad.

You jest but Southgate absolutely loves Stones. It's just a case of whether he bows to the media pressure when they go after him for dropping Gomez in order to stick Stones back in.
 
Legend- so happy he’s finding some form at last. He could be our best defender if he can maintain consistency.
 
This is the suns main headline story. They are desperate to mess with John's head again.

After reading that I don't think it's particularly bad for Stones.
