5 | John Stones - 2022/23

[WallyA]

He's always been our best defenders in the past 5 years, injuries have made people forget, or Dias introduction.

Statistics show it every year how dominant he is aerially, on the ground, passing it out etc.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Think if you ask every city fan to name their first name on the team sheet he would be first for the majority

 

[Saddleworth2]

Brilliant. Top top CB.

 

[city warrior]

Inmense today and our MotM. I am still a little worry that Ake and Stones are vital for us right now due to their usual fitness, but as long as they are fit, they are by far our two best defenders right now

[Trojan1962]

Fantastic tonight and man of the match

 

[Lauz9888]

Absolute colossus.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

I think he’s my favourite player!

 

[Brad mcfc]

First name on the team sheet in my opinion. Class player.

 

[Withnail]

Was immense tonight and when fit needs to playing in most games.

 

[B\connellblue]

head and shoulders above the rest. Well played sir.

 

[AlfieBorden]

Armband.

 

[mosssideblue]

Sublime performance and rightly motm

 

[David Kloppesh]

Bossed it.
Akanji has a nice pass in him but he seems slow, Ake sometimes as well, although Ake played pretty good.

 

[hilts]

The main man in our defence is Johnny boy

 

[Crooked_rain]

He’s been ‘quietly’ having a very good season for a few years now.

One of the best centre backs in Europe

Easily one of the best

I bet pretty much all of us thought paying about £50m for Stones all those years ago was crazy money. It was mega money even just 7 years ago really, especially for a defender back then.

Been worth every penny though.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

This thread should be top of the player performance thread all week.... But it won't be... It will all be about Grealish....

 

[Postman Pep]

When I see him at the top of his game like tonight this quote from Matthaus in the 2018 WC always comes to mind.

"I said to my neighbour [in the seat next to me], ‘This Stones is one of the best central defenders in the world’.”

 

[mcfc96]

He's the best centre-half in the world bar maybe Rudiger

Forget rudiger

 

[JDV]

Brilliant
