#5 | John Stones - 2020/21 Performances

[FantasyIreland]

Brilliant again

Im like a broken record....

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I've seen the media continuously suggest that Stones' revival was because he had Dias in the team to babysit him. I've always felt this is incredibly insulting to Stones. He has proven again that Dias is not the reason for his return to form but because he is a fucking class defender.

yep. It’s all down to stones. For me he’s our best defender

Stones?
Rocks.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Makes the game look so easy when he’s in this form

 

[doobyedoobye]

His long passing is outrageous

 

[ninjamonkey]

Had a dias aura about him today when in previous seasons of him and laporte playing together it's always been laporte leading him. Kept Kane on a tight leesh without even breaking sweat. Outstanding.

Yep agree with that. Stones has always looked like a junior partner in previous seasons. Now he is very much an equal to whoever he partners.

Another start, another clean sheet.

Johnny Big Boulders.

His long passing is outrageous

Outrageous sounds a tad optimistic to me, but it definitely improved and he can find the right man from time to time on the opposite left flank. Either he's worked on it since his early days or simply it is a confidence thing too.

 

[Blue Potato]

Thought he was fantastic and looked like the leader in the defence today. There were a couple of instances early in where the ball was bouncing around in our half and he brought it under control and gave us some control
