I don't think Walker will be playing much down the stretch. Stones is more comfortable on the ball and can obviously do a job defending when needed.

Fair play,and while it wasn't the sternest of tests,he performed an unfamiliar role to perfection.

If he wasn't made of glass,he'd be talked about as amongst the very best in the business.

I think you have this spot on. For me, he is one of the world's great centre-backs, but I have always found that he stifles the creativity of the team a little when he plays RB. Last night was a superb performance by him, but tougher challenges await.
 
Long gone were the days we'd see Stones in the lineup and worry. Now I'd worry when I don't see Stones in the lineup. Really incredible turnaround.

And yes, for me he's one of the best centre-backs in the world right now. Underrated by the media, not sure why, normally it's the opposite for English players.

He play for us, imagine he plays for one of red scums. He will be hailed as a fucking hero of the nation by the usual media suspect.

Hard to make that claim without him being tried there enough.

That being said, hard to blame posters for doubting it'd work considering how difficult it can be for a defender to play in midfield (it's alot easier the other way around).

Now Stones did it perfectly yesterday, but I also think Leipzig were hardly a challenge, I'm curious if he can keep it up.

I have no problem if Stones and Lewis pretty much just rotate there.
 
My favourite City player, and I feel like his best is yet to come; his understanding of the game is improving with age.

Love the bloke, and he loves us. One of them players that has a connection with the fans and vice verca. Cult hero status in my opinion and I think he will be here until he retires (or there abouts)

Was halfway to Arsenal a few years back, we all know how good Laporte can be but feel the attitude separates them
