Without being horrible I hope everyone who has whittered on about John Boy being injured after International breaks makes as much fuss about Kyle coming back injured this time? :-) :-(

Tonight showed why Tommy Toucan wants Boulders to lead Engerland.

looked like 22/23 Stones. Superb

I would put John Stones down as our greatest ever defender. Better than Kompany. He’s so underrated outside of city.

Looking at the list of English players on the Balloon Bore shortlist its incredible John has never been shortlisted.

Cole Palmer? Declan fookin Rice? Saka??

He is better than all those. Shows what Football writers know.

He deserves some love today too. On the ball, he was absolutely brilliant today, both with his long range passes but also just whizzing past the opponents, before playing it forward.

Not sure about this, thought he looked hesitant and the turning speed of the titanic on their first goal. He'll be rite though.

Prime Kompany around 2012 before all the injuries was as good as it gets. The fact he could comeback so many times after not playing for weeks and be our best defender in title run ins shows how great he was. Love Stones he’s brilliant but Vinnie was our greatest centre back ever
