5 | John Stones - 2022/23

[FantasyIreland]

Stones should be captain.



Sooon.. once Gundogan and Kev are done. I know many favor Ruben. But John will be my choice.

He has plenty of qualities that fit the role,so a decent choice.

I just see Dias as the ultimate pro,he lives and breathes perfection and clearly demands nothing less than the very best of others.He has a presence too......the team just looks far more solid and capable when he is about.

What, the pass or the Cancelo "control"?

;-)

Trying to bring that in with his off foot. It’s why I’ve never fancied the inverted fullback. Yes he can float the ball in nicely with that inside foot sometimes but now and then you just want a lad to sprint down the side and boot it across the face.

Stones looked shocking tonight.
He seemed really low in confidence, can’t clear a header, juddery and robotic in possession and not releasing the ball quickly.
Carry on like this he will find himself 5th choice centre back

Thought he was the best defender on the pitch, personally.

TBF 2 or the other 3 were poor too.

 

[Cobra]

I thought he was great, but he has to head that ball back to Ederson.

Until he decided to not head it back to Ederson,which led to their goal

 

[Lauz9888]

Yeah I thought he played well. Wrong decision on the header which ultimately led to their goal, but right decisions throughout the rest of the match that kept them out.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

With our summer departures -- Stones is now comfortably our next worst player, technically and mentally. Varies betwwen World class and 2nd Division in the space of minutes. His ability to maintain his concentration levels is definitely suspect, I don't care how big his balls are.

Yeah that was the only part that stood out really. But watching the replay I can understand why he thought it might have been risky.
