5 | John Stones - 2024/25

[Eccles Blue]

To be fair to Stones it was his first rugby tackle of the match and he still got booked for it.

Well he was allowed. Let’s face it they were probably kicking him and pulling him about. ;-)

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Can't remember the last time he played so badly.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

When fit he is one of the very best in the world. However, I don’t know of any player who shows he is not 100% as obviously as Stones does. When he’s trying to get back to fitness he moves like a 16 year old, arthritic Labrador.

Ohhhh poor John Boy. He must be hurting.

Every time when he is „the leader” of defence, especially with Walker, everything is crap.

Hasn't been in form since his injury in March. Second half was decent, though. Having Rodri around helps.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Rusty. But understandably so. Only getting rid of that rust by playing so a step in the right direction. We know what stones brings. Just need to get him fit and stay fit.

Raise your right hand if you shifted uneasily in your seat when he passed that ball back to Ederson in the first half.

He was caught for pace Eccles but it was the place to make the foul, at least it wasn't further up the pitch.

I won’t hear a bad word said about Jonny Boulders.

Hope he’s here for life
