John Stones - 2016/17 performances

[01cravend]

Cahill plays Mbappe, one of the fastest players in the world, in behind Stones. Stones has to absolutlely sprint back as fast as he physically can just to get near Mbappé, so he's not balanced and gets dummied, yeah.

That's not Stones fault, it's Cahill's, for giving the ball to the opposition and putting Stones in an absolutely desperate position.

And then Dier watches Sidibe jog past him, doesn't track him and he taps it in.

That's not Stones fault, it's Dier's.

Please, stop the witch hunt, it's embarrassing enough to see it coming from United fans but from a City fan? pathetic.

Cahill didn't play Mbappe in behind Stones at all

So you saw Cahill play France in behind Stones, Dier not track Sidibe and Jones stand still on the edge of the 6 yard box and decided to blame the only defender that made an attempt to stop the goal?


Like I said, you didn't watch it.

Cahill was shit, Jones was shit, Dier and Oxlade Chamberlain were abysmal but I don't give a fuck about them or their performance. I do however care how Stones plays because he's a City player and he was poor tonight, surely you could see that??

I suggest you go watch the first goal again. Cahill plays the ball toDembele on the edge of the box, behind Stones.

I mean seriously we joked about not watching the game but if you can't see that...

I don't know why I'm surprised to see it on here, but you'd think City fans of all people wouldn't be so easily swayed by idiotic commentating.


Today he's been fucked over by Cahill playing France in behind twice, Dier going completely AWOL in midfield and not tracking runners, and Jones not actually doing anything at all.

He is not at the level required at the moment for where we need to be. He needs to improve massively.

Like I said, I saw Stones dive in for the first goal. He was poor, no reason to get upset and act a child.

Funny you pick up on City player and give a free pass for the other players where the problem started! Of and when someones about to shoot do you stand there and do nowt? You try to block the shot

I only care how he plays for City. Couldn't give a toss if he scored 10 own goals for England. Lets see how he plays in Pep's new defence instead of Southgate's shit show?

Umm first you said Cahill played Mbappe in behind...Who didn't watch the game?
And cutting out a through ball isnt playing it to someone

I posted the goal already at the top of this page...No one is behind Stones at any point until he slides in

Yes, fine - but he's got to improve on tonight's showing that's all I'm saying, he made mistakes that you wouldn't want him making in a CL semi-final or final, put it that way.

It's hardly a witch hunt, It's highlighting that we've signed a player with huge potential but so far hasn't lived up to it. That doesn't make it pathetic, it simply means I think Stones should be performing at a higher level than he is doing.
