5 | John Stones - 2022/23

[Haaland94]

Imagine him without the injuries, world's best defender.

Class.

Anybody else find themselves wondering "Why the fuck is John Stones there?" only for it to be demonstrated that he is actually in the perfect place at the perfect time.

The Haaland goal was not a bad example.

 

[sh249]

Watching on Swiss TV, and the pundit (former coach) is raving about Stones’s performance, especially his tactical awareness in playing that role. Best player on the pitch in his view.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Just stay fit Stonesy.

 

[bobom]

I felt he was always a bit over hyped. But this season, and especially in this new position, he's been a much better player than I ever thought he could become. Just terrific.

 

[Brad mcfc]

World class.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Got a great engine on him, have to say.

Setting up a goal at one end and back as the last man at the other.

Phenomenal tonight.

He's actually always been undervalued. Even by City fans. He's utter class

It’s always been the same. When he’s fit, every other defender is better purely because he’s playing. His play on the ball in particular, no one else can do and performances like tonight where he’s playing two roles simultaneously is just ridiculous really, the ask of him is immense and he answered it.

Well done John. You’re fucking brilliant.
