I loved it when the entire ground sang his name. He’s become a cult legend as well as world class

Just hope he stays injury free now. Normally when he’s hit top form, he gets a little injury for a few weeks. Would hate to see him miss the final part of the season.

He has been world-class for a long time.

I hope all the health issues are behind Stonesy now. With him being fit, we are an entirely different animal.

Fantastic once again I thought in what was a relatively average performance from the rest of the defence in terms of playing out from the back.

The adaptability to play in midfield at one moment and part of a regular back 4 a few minutes later gives us such flexibility tactically, and almost everything he does on the pitch is perfect at the moment - there was one turn in midfield in the second half that KDB or Gundo would’ve been proud of.

Probably the only one of the back 4 to maintain standards today. Held us together.

He is one of the finest central defenders ever to play in England. He's got technical ability, grace, can pass, tackle, head and is calm under pressure. If he was playing in Spain, they'd be calling him the best defender in Europe. Amazing player and a bargain.

Probably the only one of the back 4 to maintain standards today. Held us together.

Akanji had a decent game for me, not his highest standard but still good, we didn't really play a back 4 yesterday, more a back 2, and it caused us issues (hence the goal), even though they still only managed 4 goal attempts, and just 1 on target.

Player of the Month and well deserved.

£50 million seems a snip now doesn’t it. Get 5 more years out of him as well.
