John Stones - 2016/17 performances

[bobom]

John and nico is the way to go

Wasn't convinced by Nico tonight...

 

[RichardDunneOwnGoal]

Strange phrasing?

No. Have you seen how many had a pop?

Shithouse way to imply I'm a rag by the way.

Wasn't convinced by Nico tonight...

I don't know if this is a joke tbh, but Otamendi was perfect today.

 

[RandomJ]

Another great performance. Calm with the ball as always but he also looks a lot stronger than I thought he was. He was winning a lot of physical battles, shrugging them off the ball.

 

[Centurions]

Rag?

Bit precious aren't you?

 

[BlueTG]

I don't know if this is a joke tbh, but Otamendi was perfect today.

Could have cost us a goal by his usual diving in shit. He's a fraud of a CB and if I'm proved wrong I'll happily hold my hands up and attend a match in a pair of speedos beating his name and number painted on my bare back.

This. Absolutely bossed it.

Rag?

Bit precious aren't you?

Bit dense aren't you?

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Big big test for stonesy Saturday.

This. Absolutely bossed it.

Thought they look a promising pairing.

Still stand by what I said about concerns with Stones defensively, we all know about his strengths on the ball, was an exceptional foundation for us to build on tonight.

One of the primary reasons Joe is on his way out and Bravo is coming in.

It's not even polished yet and there are some very promising early signs there.

this guy is going to be an absolute star,,future captain for us and england,,no disrespect to everton but he didn't have the best seasons last yea, its about who's around him and he never had that with everton or england

 

[pudge]

Wasn't convinced by Nico tonight...

Agreed but at the risk of straying off topic, Stones was everything we'd thought he'd be once again.

Big big test for stonesy Saturday.

i don't expect to come out of that game without a couple of players down at the A&E,its not a fixture i get excited about i'd take the point before at there place providing we get no knocks to our players

 

[Silva2021]

Looks like a player to me! Agree there is question marks when we are under pressure, hopefully someone can prove me wrong but didn't appear to command the aerial battle.

However when we passed along the back he was the one mixing it up and doing the passes between the lines.

I know they where poor but I actually felt it was the start of something happening when a Stones had his head up looking for Silva or KDB.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Must have thoroughly enjoyed his first 180 mins in a City shirt, been a walk in the park for him.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

very good game from stones. looks so composed

 

[Blue Hefner]

Played well as did Otemendi - I was very impressed with the lack of silly free kicks we gave away compared to last season

 

[bobom]

Agreed but at the risk of straying off topic, Stones was everything we'd thought he'd be once again.

He certainly was!

 

[worsleyweb]

Really impressed so far

 

[RandomJ]

Was brilliant yet again. Laughable people said he couldn't defend. Fast becoming one of my favourite players.
