5 | John Stones - 2023/24

[Eccles Blue]

I've just watched his press conference on the BBC iPlayer or whatever it's called and he said the strapping looks worse than it is.
They also asked him about the election, trying to trick him into discussing how the team voted!! As if he is going to tell them even if he knew.
Good interview all round, but just what we (ok me) expects from John Boy. ;-) :-)

Rice has always looked like that, for England at least, even before he joined Arsenal. Sometimes just refuse to show himself for the ball, or dare to turn with it. He's not a total shite footballer, but I never understood what the hype was then.

Exactly this. I thought he might improve playing under Arteta and with (generally) better players but still struggles to do what Rodders makes look very simple.
