5 | John Stones - 2023/24

Why does everyone bang on about “two meaningless friendlies”??

They are not meaningless for the ENG squad are they, they have practically zero time together as a team. Kyle Walker, sex pest in chief, spoke very well about this on the radio.

Nice try Gareth .

Thought he had 2 dodgy moments and looked slightly short of full sharpness and is still our most composed player and did what he had to do. He's pure quality.

Because when you have missed a vast majority of the season for your club side who at the end of the day pay your wages, you need to get your priorities right!

As said earlier a fit John Stones is England's best defender by a long way, he does not need to prove that to anyone, particularly Southgate.

Today we have City fans on social media slating the ENG team for being disjointed, not playing cohesively, lacking awareness on pitch of other players (all true).

How are they supposed to get that with zero time as a squad, how is a Manager supposed to build that? It is perfectly reasonable to expect one of Englands best players to be there when that needs to happen.
