Diego Carlos

[Dax777]

Just been watching clips of him and I can't believe I didn't realise he was the player involved in this hysterical incident with (now former) referee Tony Chapron:



I remember when it happened a couple of years ago. Fucking hysterical.

I'd have lost my shit over that. Fucking red runs into his path, falls kicks out at him then gives him a yellow.

Man, I'm my younger days I'd have decked the ref before my senses for the better of me.

Can't be dribbled past if you run away.

Dias stands out to me on those stats

Yea but Portugal

For real. Stones biggest on pitch problem imo he has no instinct to close the space and always lets attackers run at him and other defenders

Contrary to popular opinion, John Stones is by a large margin the best of the bunch based on these stats.

It's not even close. I suppose we cann add interception stats and tackles per game ( both of which may reduce is overall gap, but he has a sizeable lead. And much seems like staying healthy is his real Achilles heel. Not performance.

If the stats were all up against the same opposition in the same circumstances then yes.

But we've seen him play, recently & we know he isn't the best of that bunch don't we ?
