Exactly,no comparison.Therein lies the difference. Exactly this.
I never doubted stones would find form again, admittedly not with us, but delighted for him. But his class was obvious.
Even at his very best raz would miss absolute sitters and get his feet in a twist.
Understatement. Abysmal first half, anonymous second half, easy to forget he was actually on the pitch.Missed the match last night due to work. Was he crap?
Starting to look like the Stones thread from 12 months ago...
While he's been poor and having arguably his worst ever run of form, I still think it's too early to write him off.
It's clear his confidence has gone this season but I'm hopeful that will return.
If we just discarded players who have a bad season we'd have sold Bernardo, Mahrez, Gundogan and Stones by now... Yet now they're all key members of our best 11.
Not going to happen but the best thing for him would be a long summer holiday and get away from football completely, the guy looks shot.If he plays well for the national team in the summer we will know his problems are connected with the way we set up and play. It will be interesting to see.
What so not being able to play basic passes, control the ball regularly or show composure would be down to how we play?If he plays well for the national team in the summer we will know his problems are connected with the way we set up and play. It will be interesting to see.
