He is brilliant. Just so good.

 

[Withnail]

John has had a fantastic season and it is testament to the lad's ability that he has taken his new role in the side like a duck to water.

The exciting thing is that he's still learning the midfield role. Think of how good he'll be a year from now.

Hopefully he didn’t come off due to an injury.

Phil’s injury was dangerous wtf

Thankfully sounds like he's ok.

Would be a disaster to lose Stones as he's the only defender we have that can perform that hybrid role.

Sounds better than first feared-hopefully he will be ok.

Tough night for him, I thought.

Glad he's not injured.

Phil’s injury was dangerous wtf

The accurate phrasing would be I guess: COULD be dangerous if he continued playing. That's why we got him out.

For anyone who is even remotely interested in the tactics behind Stones’ new role. Very interesting read.

Brilliant. Stones !!

 

[walker_is_faster]

Pure Art!! Magnificent

 

[01cravend]

Thought he was poor first half but brilliant 2nd. Starting to get widespread acclaim as a player and you love to see it

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Arguably his best performance in a City shirt considering the occasion and what he's being asked to do.

 

[JDV]

Damn this guy is class

 

[Brad mcfc]

Different class.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Sensational.
